Ohio Central Railroad System

[Docket Number FRA-2006-26177]

    OCRS has submitted an informational filing to FRA to permit field 
testing of the railroad's processor-based train control system 
identified as OCRS Positive Train Control (OCRS PTC). The informational 
filing addresses the requirements under 49 CFR 236.913(j)(1).
    Specifically, the informational filing contains a description of 
the OCRS PTC product and an operational concepts document, pursuant to 
49 CFR 236.913(j)(1). The OCRS PTC system is designed to prevent 
authority limit and over-speed violations in non-signaled Track Warrant 
Control (TWC) territory, and to prevent equipped trains from entering 
the limits, without authorization, of on-track authority granted to 
employees.
    OCRS desires to commence field testing in the fourth quarter of 
2007, or as soon as practicable thereafter, contingent upon FRA's 
acceptance and approval of their informational filing.
    Interested parties are invited to review the informational filing 
and associated documents at the DOT Docket Management facility during 
regular business hours (9 a.m.--5 p.m.) at 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., 
Room W12-140, Washington, DC 20590. All documents in the public docket 
are also available for inspection and copying on the internet at http://www.regulations.gov

    Anyone is able to search the electronic form of any written 
communications received into any of our dockets by name of the 
individual submitting the document (or signing the document, if 
submitted on behalf of an association, business, labor union, etc.).
