Summary of GENESEE & WYOMING INC

Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On June 15, 2009, Genesee & Wyoming Inc. ("GWI") announced that its subsidiary, Huron Central Railway Inc. ("Huron Central"), intends to discontinue operations. Huron Central operates over 173 miles of track leased from Canadian Pacific Railway ("CP") between Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie in Ontario, Canada. The downturn in the economy has caused the Huron Central's traffic to decline substantially over the last 12 months, to the point that the railroad is not economically viable to operate for the long term.

GWI expects to record charges in the second quarter of up to approximately $5.3 million after tax, or $0.15 per share, reflecting the non-cash write-down of non-current assets of approximately $7.1 million and cash costs associated with the cessation of Huron Central's operations ranging from $0.4 million to $1.9 million, which GWI expects to be partially offset by cash tax benefits of approximately $3.7 million. In the year ended December 31, 2008, Huron Central handled approximately 16,000 carloads, generated revenues of $7.4 million and incurred a $2.1 million operating loss, thereby reducing GWI's diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.04.

Huron Central and CP are working closely together to implement an orderly cessation of operations, and GWI expects the Huron Central to cease operations during the fourth quarter of 2009.

A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
