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.
