CSX Transportation, Inc.— 

Abandonment Exemption—in Glynn 

County, GA 

On May 22, 2009, CSX 

Transportation, Inc. (CSXT) filed with 

the Board a petition under 49 U.S.C. 

10502 for exemption from the 

provisions of 49 U.S.C. 10903 to 

abandon a 0.31-mile rail line on its 

Southern Region, Jacksonville Division, 

Brunswick Subdivision, between 

milepost AOB 534.36 and milepost AOB 

534.67 in Brunswick, Glynn County, 

GA. The line traverses United States 

Postal Service Zip Code 31520. 

CSXT also requests expedited 

consideration of the exemption petition, 

including effectiveness of the exemption 

no later than August 1, 2009. CSXT 

states that expedited action is necessary 

here because a new middle school has 

been built to the east of the right-of-way. 

In order to access the school, a new road 

must be built across the line. CSXT 

argues that construction must begin 

soon in order for the new road to be 

completed before the start of the school

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

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. 

Docket Number: FRA–2009–0046. 

Applicant: Paducah & Louisville 

Railway, Inc., Mr. C.D. Edwards, 

General Supervisor of Signals and 

Structures, 1400 Bell Avenue, Paducah, 

Kentucky 42003. 

The Paducah & Louisville Railway, 

Inc. (P&L) seeks approval of the 

proposed discontinuance and removal 

of signal locations between Milepost 

(MP) J 22.0 and MP J 45.0, and replacing 

with new signal and track circuitry. 

The locations are between West Point, 

Kentucky, MP J 22.0 and North Cecilia, 

Kentucky, MP J 45.0. The proposal 

consists of retiring nine back-to-back 

signal locations between MP J 22 and 

MP J 45, and replacing with six back-toback signal locations. Electro Code II 

track circuitry is to be replaced with 

Electro Code 5 track circuitry. 

The signals to be removed are: J234, 

J235; J262, J261; NBH, J283; J308, SBH; 

J238, J239; J356, J355; J382, J381; J408, 

J407; and J432, J433. The signals to be 

installed are: J250, J251; NBH, J283; 

J308, SBH; J346, J345; J382, J381; and 

J420, J421. 

The reason given for the proposed 

changes is to improve safety of train 

operation and reduce the cost of testing, 

and maintenance. 

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. 

FRA expects to be able to determine 

these matters without an oral hearing. 

However, if a specific request for an oral 

hearing is accompanied by a showing 

that the party is unable to adequately 

present his or her position by written 

statements, an application may be set 

for public hearing. 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in these proceedings by 

submitting written views, data, or 

comments. FRA does not anticipate 

scheduling a public hearing in 

connection with these proceedings since 

the facts do not appear to warrant a 

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.
