 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-2007-29295]

Applicant: R. J. Corman Railroad, Mr. J. D. Boles, Manager of Signals, 
101 McKenna Way, Bardstown, Kentucky 40004.

    The R. J. Corman Railroad seeks approval of the proposed 
discontinuance and removal of two operative approach signals. The 
operative approach signals are located at each end of the R. J. Corman 
Railroad, Central Kentucky Line Old Road Subdivision, one approaching 
CSX Transportation's (CSXT) CP North Cabin, Milepost VB 113.8, 
Winchester, Kentucky, and one approaching CSXT's CP HK Tower, Milepost 
W12.5, Anchorage, Kentucky. Signal 1128 is located within yard limits, 
and is approaching North Cabin CP. Signal 131 is approaching HK Tower 
CP. It is proposed to replace each signal with a permanent fixed sign. 
The reason for the proposed changes is that present day operation does 
not warrant need or retention of operative approach signals.
    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.
