DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Railroad Administration
Notice of Application for Approval of
Discontinuance or Modification of a
Railroad Signal System or Relief From
Requirements
Pursuant to Title 49 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) part 235 and 49
U.S.C. 20502(a), the following railroad
has petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) seeking approval
for the discontinuance or modification
of the signal system or relief from the
requirements of 49 CFR part 236 as
detailed below.
[Docket Number FRA–2005–21965]
Applicants: Rock and Rail LLC., Mr.
Franklin Lloyd, President, P. O. Box
1026, Canon City, Colorado 81215;
Canon City and Royal Gorge Railroad,
Mr. Mark Greka, Owner/Manager, 1106
Rose Street, Georgetown, Colorado
80444; Union Pacific Railroad, Mr. T. T.
Ogee, AVP Engineering Design, 1400
Douglas Street, Stop 0910, Omaha,
Nebraska 68179.
Rock and Rail LLC., the Canon City
and Royal Gorge Railroad, and the
Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP)
jointly seek approval of the proposed
discontinuance and removal of the
traffic control system, on the single
main track and sidings between Canon
City, Colorado, milepost 159.2 and
Parkdale, Colorado, milepost 171.8, on
the former UP Denver Area, Tennessee
Pass Subdivision, a distance of
approximately 12.6 miles.
The reason given for the proposed
changes is that due to changes in
operation and traffic, the signal system
is no longer required. The UP closed the
trackage as a through route in August
1997, and in 1998 sold the portion of
trackage from Canon City to Parkdale to
RGX.LLC. The line was severed and
RGX.LLC acquired a stub-ended
industrial spur, accessible only from the
Canon City, with no potential for
through traffic.
Any interested party desiring to
protest the granting of an application
shall set forth specifically the grounds
upon which the protest is made, and
include a concise statement of the
interest of the party in the proceeding.
Additionally, one copy of the protest
shall be furnished to the applicant at the
address listed above.
All communications concerning this
proceeding should be identified by the
docket number and must be submitted
