Applicant: Union Pacific Railroad

Company, Mr. Phil Abaray, Chief

Engineer—Signals, 1416 Dodge Street,

Room 1000, Omaha, Nebraska 68179–

1000

Union Pacific Railroad Company

seeks approval of the proposed

modification of the traffic control

system, on two main and running

tracks, between milepost 3.6 and

milepost 4.0, in Omaha, Nebraska,

consisting of the the following:

1. Removal of the power-operated

crossover at milepost 3.6, between Main

Tracks No. 1 and No. 2;

2. Conversion of the power-operated

crossover at milepost 3.9, between Main

Track No. 1 and the North Running

Track, to hand operation, equipped with

an electric switch lock for the main

track;

3. Removal of the power-operated

derail on the North Running Track near

milepost 3.9; and

4. Discontinuance and removal of

eastbound controlled signals No’s 112,

124, 126, 132, and 142, and westbound

controlled signals No’s 130, 136, 144,

and 146.

The reason given for the proposed

changes is that due to changes in

are no longer needed; the proposed

changes will increase efficiency and

improve train handling by increasing

block lengths.
