[Federal Register Volume 82, Number 179 (Monday, September 18, 2017)] [Notices] [Page 43656] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2017-19688] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Railroad Administration [Docket Number FRA-2017-0091] Notice of Application for Approval To Discontinue or Modify 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 notice that on August 31, 2017, Norfolk Southern Corporation (NS) petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) seeking approval to discontinue or modify a signal system. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2017-0091. Applicant: Norfolk Southern Corporation, Mr. B.L. Sykes, Chief Engineer C&S Engineering, 1200 Peachtree Street NE., Atlanta, GA 30309. NS seeks to discontinue the signal system on the Meadville Line between Greenville, PA, milepost (MP) MI 128.6 and control point (CP) Hubbard MP MI 150.8 at Hubbard, OH. This includes CP Cole, CP Sharpsville, two head block signals and 18 automatic signals. New operative approach signals will be placed at MP Ml 148.6 in approach to CP Hubbard and at MP Ml 133.8 in approach to Shenango. The main track between MP Ml 128.6 and CP Hubbard MP Ml 150.8 will be converted to NS Rule 171 operation. The sidings within the application limits at Cole, Budd, Clark and Sharpsville will be made noncontrolled, other than main track. The reason for the proposed change is that operations no longer require a signal system. 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 Avenue SE., W12-140, Washington, DC 20590.
