Notice of Application for Approval of Discontinuance or 
Modification of a Railroad Signal System

    In accordance with Part 235 of Title 49 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (CFR) and 49 U.S.C. 20502(a), this document provides the 
public notice that by a document dated February 18, 2015, the Union 
Pacific Railroad Company (UP) petitioned the Federal Railroad 
Administration (FRA) seeking approval for the discontinuance or 
modification of a signal system. FRA assigned the petition Docket 
Number FRA-2015-0020.
    Applicants: Union Pacific Railroad Company, Mr. Neal Hathaway, AVP 
Engineering--Signal, 1400 Douglas Street, MS 0910, Omaha, NE 68179.

on the siding between Control Point (CP) W045, at Milepost (MP) 45.30. 
and CP W047 MP 47.20, on the Greely Subdivision at LaSalle, CO. The 
diverging yellow and flashing yellow aspects will be retired from the B 
head of the W signal at CP W047, and the B head of the E signal at CP 
W045.
    The purpose of the discontinuance is to facilitate the large number
