In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e)

if the following occurs: (1) The person 

fails to comply with the terms and 

conditions of the exemption; (2) the

still effective at the end of the 2-year 

period, the person may apply to FMCSA

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket No. FRA–2014–0115] 

Notice of Application for Approval of 

Discontinuance or Modification of a 

Railroad Signal System 

In accordance with Part 235 of Title 

49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 

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

provides the public notice that by a 

document dated October 22, 2014, 

Norfolk Southern Corporation (NS) 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–2014– 

0115. 

Applicant: Norfolk Southern 

Corporation, Mr. Brian L. Sykes, Chief 

Engineer C&S Engineering, 1200 

Peachtree Street NE., Atlanta, GA 

30309. 

NS seeks approval of the proposed 

discontinuance of a traffic control 

system (TCS) on the Winding Gulf 

Branch between Horsepen, Milepost 

(MP) WG 6.5 and Tams, MP WG 12.1, 

near Amigo, WV. 

The reason given for the proposed 

changes is that the TCS is no longer 

desirable or needed to handle current 

train operations. The TCS will be 

discontinued and replaced with NS 

Rule 171 for track authority operation. 

CP Horsepen will be renewed, and fixed 

approach signals will be installed, in 

approach to the start of TCS territory. 

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

[Docket No. FD 35862] 

Arkansas Louisiana & Mississippi 

Railroad Company—Lease and 

Operation Exemption Including 

Interchange Commitment—Union 

Pacific Railroad Company 

Arkansas Louisiana & Mississippi 

Railroad Company (ALM), a Class III rail 

carrier, has filed a verified notice of 

exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 to 

lease from Union Pacific Railroad 

Company (UP) and operate 

approximately 9.32 miles of rail line, 

known as the Bastrop Lead, between 

mileposts 551.25 and 560.57, in 

Collinston, La. 

ALM and UP have entered into a lease 

agreement wherein the Bastrop Lead 

connects with another line leased by 

ALM between Bastrop and Monroe, La., 

to UP’s McGehee Sub at Collinston. 

According to ALM, the lease will allow 

ALM and UP to shift their primary 

interchange location from Monroe to 

Collinston, which should allow for more 

efficient interchange and handling of 

traffic that is moved jointly by the 

carriers. 

As required by 49 CFR 1150.43(h), 

ALM has disclosed in the verified notice 

that the subject lease agreement 

contains an interchange commitment 

that indirectly affects interchange with 

Kansas City Southern Railway Company 

at Monroe. 

ALM has certified that its projected 

annual revenues as a result of this 

transaction will not result in ALM’s 

becoming a Class II or Class I rail 

carrier, but that its annual revenues 

exceed $5 million. Accordingly, as 

required by 49 CFR 1150.42(e), ALM has 

certified that: (1) On October 16 and 23, 

2014, a copy of the verified notice was 

posted at the workplaces of the 

employees on the line, and (2) on 

October 24, 2014, a copy of the verified 

notice was served on the national offices 

of all labor unions with employees on 

the line. Additionally, under 49 CFR 

1150.42(b), a change in operators 

requires that notice be given to shippers. 

ALM states that there are no shippers on 

the line. 

The earliest this transaction may be 

consummated is December 26, 2014, the 

effective date of the exemption (30 days 

after the exemption was filed). ALM 

states that it intends to consummate the 

transaction on or shortly after that date. 

If the verified notice contains false or 

misleading information, the exemption 

is void ab initio. Petitions to revoke the 

exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d) 

may be filed at any time. The filing of 

a petition to revoke will not 

automatically stay the effectiveness of 

the exemption. Petitions for stay must 

be filed no later than December 19, 2014 

(at least seven days before the 

exemption becomes effective). 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD 

35862, must be filed with the Surface 

Transportation Board, 395 E Street SW., 

Washington, DC 20423–0001. In 

addition, one copy of each pleading 

must be served on Eric M. Hocky, Clark 

Hill, PLC, One Commerce Square, 2005 

Market Street, Suite 1000, Philadelphia, 

PA 19103.
