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

    In accordance with part 235 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations 
(CFR) and 49 U.S.C. 20502(a), this document provides the public notice 
that by a document dated May 23, 2016, Norfolk Southern Railway (NS) 
petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) seeking approval 
for the discontinuance or modification of a signal system. FRA assigned 
the petition Docket Number FRA-2016-0057.
    Applicant: Norfolk Southern Railway; Mr. B.L. Sykes, Chief 
Engineer, C&S Engineering, 1200 Peachtree Street NE., Atlanta, GA 
30309.
    NS seeks approval of the modification of power-operated Switch 17 
at Control Point (CP) MO, Milepost (MP) PT 250.5 on the NS Pittsburgh 
Line at Cresson, PA.
    Switch 17 will be converted to a hand-operated switch with an 
electric lock. Signal 12W will be moved west, placing the converted 
switch outside of the limits of CP MO. The method of operation on main 
tracks 1 and 3 will be NS Operating Rule 261.
    These changes are being proposed to improve operations in the area.

concerning the petition, is available for review online at
