Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2012–0012] 

Notice of Application for Approval of 

Discontinuance or Modification of a 

Railroad Signal System 

In accordance with Part 235 of Title 

49 of the Code of Federal Regulations 

(CFR) and 49 U.S.C. 20502(a), this 

document provides the public notice 

that by a document dated January 18, 

2012, the Union Pacific Railroad (UP) 

has petitioned the Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA) seeking approval 

for the discontinuance or modification 

of a signal system. FRA assigned the 

petition Docket Number FRA–2012– 

0012. 

UP seeks approval of the proposed 

discontinuance of the automatic block 

signal (ABS) system between Control 

Point (CP) Troost and Neff Yard on UP’s 

KC Metro Subdivision, at approximately 

Milepost 281. UP’s plans call for the 

discontinuance of ABS Signals Numbers 

2805L, 2805R, 2806L, and 2806R, on 

Track 112 and Main 2; as well as a 

switch circuit controller on a handoperated switch on Track 112. 

The reason given is that the ABS 

system is not needed for efficient and 

safe operation of trains in this area. 

A copy of the petition, as well as any 

written communications concerning the 

petition, is available for review online at 

www.regulations.gov and in person at 

the U.S. Department of Transportation’s

hearing. If any interested party desires 

an opportunity for oral comment, they 

should notify FRA, in writing, before 

the end of the comment period and 

specify the basis for their request.
