(Pet. 1 & n.1); see also Tarantula Corp.—Continuance in Control Exemption—Fort Worth & Dall. Belt R.R., FD 32515 (ICC served July 25, 1994). Pursuant to a stock purchase agreement dated March 21, 2024, Tarantula has reached an agreement to acquire from Birdsong all of the outstanding capital stock of Texas Central. (See Pet., Ex. B at 1.) Upon consummation of this transaction, Tarantula would indirectly control Texas Central. (Id.) According to the petition, Texas Central owns—but does not operate—24.9 miles of rail line running from Dublin, Tex., to Gorman, Tex. (the Line). (Pet. 2.)

(Pet. 3, 7.) Tarantula states that, as FWWR already operates over the Line, the transaction will not affect the level of operations or maintenance of the Line or any of the other lines operated by the other railroads in the Tarantula corporate family. (Id. at 6–7.) Tarantula has attached to the petition letters supporting the transaction from both shippers located on the Line, Birdsong and Gorman Milling Company, Inc. (See Pet., Ex. C.) Tarantula has also asked the Board for expedited consideration of its petition and a decision issued and effective by June 15, 2024. (Pet. 7.) Tarantula states that it would like an earlier effective date to commence infrastructure improvements on a faster schedule in support of increased safety, improved reliability, enhanced efficiency, and improved connectivity which can lead to greater marketability 1 Texas Central Railroad Company is a separate and distinct entity from Texas Central Partners, LLC, which is proposing to construct high-speed passenger rail between Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston, Tex. 2 Texas Central’s Line connects with FWWR’s rail line at Dublin. Tarantula explains that, for that reason, the transaction does not qualify for the class exemption under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(2). (Pet. 1.) E:\FR\FM\05JNN1.SGM 05JNN1
