The line traverses through United States ZIP Codes 31806, 31803, 31805, and 31905. The CGA and GSWR discontinuance proceedings will be docketed as STB Docket Nos. AB-290 (Sub-No. 344X) and AB-1000 (Sub-No. 2X), respectively.

Appropriate offers of financial assistance to subsidize continued rail service can be filed with the STB. Trail use/rail banking and public use condition requests are not appropriate in discontinuance proceedings. An original and 10 copies of any pleading that raises matters other than environmental issues (such as offers of financial assistance) must be filed directly with the STB's Chief, Section of Administration, Office of Proceedings, Surface Transportation Board, 395 E Street, S.W., Washington, DC 20423-0001 [see 49 C.F.R. 1104.1(a) and 1104.3(a)], and one copy must be served on applicants' representatives [see 49 C.F.R. 1104.12(a)].
