interlockings required by the FRA place 

an undue burden on the railroad. Due to 

train traffic, some large control points 

can take a month or more to complete 

the 2-year locking tests. Once a 

processor-based system has been tested 

and locking tests documented on 

installation, re-testing should not be 

required since the logic continues to 

operate in the same manor as it did 

when installed and the operation does 

not change. 

Any interested party desiring to 

protest the granting of an application 

shall set forth specifically the grounds 

upon which the protest is made, and 

include a concise statement of the 

interest of the party in the proceeding. 

Additionally, one copy of the protest 

shall be furnished to the applicant at the 

address listed above.

[Docket Number FRA–2007–27599] 

Notice of Application for Approval of 

Discontinuance or Modification of a 

Railroad Signal System or Relief From 

the Requirements of Title 49 Code of 

Federal Regulations Part 236 

Pursuant to Title 49 Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) Part 235 and 49 

U.S.C. 20502(a), the following railroad 

has petitioned the Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA) seeking approval 

for the discontinuance or modification 

of the signal system or relief from the 

requirements of 49 CFR Part 236 as 

detailed below. 

Applicant: CSX Transportation, 

Incorporated, Mr. C. M. King, Chief 

Engineer, Communications and 

Signals, 500 Water Street , SC J–350, 

Jacksonville, Florida 32202. 

CSX Transportation, Incorporated 

(CSXT) seeks approval of the proposed 

modification of the traffic control 

system, on the main track and yard 

tracks, at CP-Bowl, milepost 000–384.3, 

on the Atlanta Division, Boyles 

Terminal Subdivision, near 

Birmingham, Alabama. The proposed 

changes consist of a reduction to the 

limits of the traffic control system, 

including the following: discontinuance 

of all controlled signals at CP-Bowl, 

conversion of all remaining poweroperated switches to hydraulic type 

switches under the jurisdiction and 

control of the local yardmaster, and 

designation of the trackage to Yard 

Limits, CSXT Operating Rule 193, for 

train movement authority. 

The reason given for the proposed 

changes is that present day operation, 

along with the proposal to modify the 

track configuration, including 

installation of an additional main track 

between Black Creek and Mary Lee, 

does not warrant retention of the poweroperated switches and signals. 

Any interested party desiring to 

protest the granting of an application 

shall set forth specifically the grounds 

upon which the protest is made, and 

include a concise statement of the 

interest of the party in the proceeding. 

Additionally, one copy of the protest

Pursuant to Title 49 Code of Federal

Docket Number FRA–2007–27418 

Applicants: CSX Transportation, 

Incorporated, Mr. C.M. King, Chief 

Engineer, Communications and

Jacksonville, Florida 32202. 

Four Rivers Transportation, Mr. A.V. 

Reck, President, 1500 Kentucky 

Avenue, Paducah, Kentucky 42003. 

CSX Transportation, Incorporated 

(CSXT) and Four Rivers Transportation 

jointly seeks approval of the proposed 

modification of the signal system, on the 

single main track and siding, between 

Berkeley Run Jct., milepost BUC 0.0, 

near Grafton, West Virginia, and 

Hampton Jct., milepost BUC 41.9, near 

Adrian, West Virginia, on CSXT’s 

Huntington Division East, Cowen 

Subdivision. The proposed changes 

consist of the conversion of the existing 

traffic control system to an automatic 

block signal (ABS) system; conversion 

of all power-operated switches to hand 

operation; and conversion of the method 

of operation to TWC–DCS authority, 

supplemented by signal indications of 

the ABS system. 

The reason given for the proposed 

changes is that the current traffic 

density does not warrant retention of 

this type of signal system.
