[Docket Number FRA-2015-0050]


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 provides the public 
notice that by a document dated March 27, 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-2015-0050.
    Applicant: Union Pacific Railroad Company, Mr. Neal Hathaway, AVP 
Engineering--Signal, 1400 Douglas Street, MS 0910, Omaha, NE 68179.
    The UP seeks approval of the modification of the traffic control 
system (TCS) at control point (CP) T342, at milepost 342.20, on the 
Baird Subdivision, by the conversion of dispatcher controlled signals, 
45L and 45R, to intermediate signals. The CP was installed to hold 
trains clear of switching operations which took place at a yard which 
is no longer there.

concerning the petition, is available for review online at 
www.regulations.gov and in person at the U.S. Department of
