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 the public notice that 
on April 20, 2018, CSX Transportation (CSX) petitioned

[[Page 19138]]

the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) seeking approval to 
discontinue or modify a signal system. FRA assigned the petition Docket 
Number FRA-2018-0042.
    Applicant: CSX Transportation, Mr. Carl Walker, Chief Engineer 
Communications & Signals, 500 Water Street, Speed Code J--350, 
Jacksonville, FL 32202.
    CSX seeks approval to discontinue the signal system on the main 
tracks between control point (CP) Strick, milepost (MP) OWI 208.1 on 
the EK Subdivision, Winchester, KY, and CP Blackey, MP OVB 267.1 on the 
Rockhouse Subdivision, Blackey, KY. CSX proposes to discontinue the CP-
511 and TC-510 Rules in the track segment and operate under TWC-D-505 
Rules.
    CSX states the reason for the proposed change is that CP-511 and 
TC-510 Rules are no longer needed for present day operation.
    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
