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-2008-0031

    Applicant: CSX Transportation, Incorporated, Mr. C. M. King, Chief 
Engineer, Communications and Signals, 500 Water Street, SC J-350, 
Jacksonville, Florida 32202.
    The CSX Transportation, Incorporated seeks approval of the proposed 
conversion of two dispatcher controlled power-operated switches to two 
T-21 hand-operated clearing switches, switches 486.15, and 486.12, on 
the Huntington Division East, Kanawha Subdivision, at CP Milton, 
Milepost CA 486.05.
    The reason given for the proposed changes is pole line elimination 
and that the power-operated switches are no longer needed to provide 
service to industry in present day operation.

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.
