FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2017-0097. Applicant: Norfolk Southern Corporation, Mr. B.L. Sykes, Chief Engineer C&S Engineering, 1200 Peachtree Street NE., Atlanta, GA 30309. NS seeks to discontinue control point (CP) East End Avenue on the CNO&TP District at milepost (MP) 337.2, Central Division, Chattanooga, TN. CP East End Avenue will be removed from service. All associated signal equipment, existing power switches, movable point frogs and slip switches will be retired or converted to hand operation. Zero track is currently governed by Rule 261.

AGS #1 will be renamed Main #2 and CNO&TPO Main will be renamed Main #1; both will remain governed by Rule 261.
