[Docket Number FRA-2017-0034]


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

    Under part 235 of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 
and 49 U.S.C. 20502(a), this document provides public notice that on 
April 20, 2017, Union Pacific Railroad (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-2017-0034.

Applicant: Union Pacific Railroad, Mr. Kevin D. Hicks, AVP Engineering-
Design, 1400 Douglas Street, MS 0910, Omaha, NE 68179.

    UP seeks approval to discontinue the traffic control system on the 
Pequot Subdivision, between milepost (MP) 56.90 and MP 62.75 in the 
cities of Mazon, Braceville, and Coal City, IL. The subdivision will be 
converted to a non-signaled industrial lead.
    The reason given for the proposed discontinuance is to allow the 
track currently out of service per Timetable Special Instruction SI-01, 
between MP 58.69 and MP 62.75, to be re-opened to service an industry 
project for Hoffman Transportation, whose facility will begin at the 
end of the proposed industrial lead at MP 59.77. UP will discontinue 
its common carrier operation between MP 59.77 and MP 56.75 per Surface 
Transportation Board Docket AB-333X. UP will upgrade and return to 
service the highway-rail grade crossing warning equipment within the 
project's limits at MP's 58.69 Spring Road, MP 59.78 Reed Road, and MP 
61.71, Braceville Road. The north switch on the BNSF Railway at MP 
56.90 was previously removed.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications 
concerning the petition, is available for review online at 
www.regulations.gov and in person at the U.S. Department of 
Transportation's (DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New Jersey
