    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, as detailed below.

Applicant: CSX Transportation, Inc., Mr. Joseph Ivanyo, Chief Engineer,

modification of the block signal system on Main Tracks 1 and

    CSXT will retire controlled signals, 80LA, 80LC, and 80R, at Egypt 
(MP 81.8) and controlled signals 88LA, 88LC, 88LD, at MP 82.3. The
