Docket Number FRA–2006–24529
Applicant: CSX Transportation,
Incorporated, Mr. C.M. King, Chief
Engineer, Communications and
Signals, 500 Water Street, SC J–350,
Jacksonville, Florida 32202.
CSX Transportation, Incorporated
(CSXT) seeks approval of the proposed
modification of the traffic control
system on the two main tracks, near
milepost BE 22.60, in Cincinnati, Ohio,
on the Cincinnati Terminal Subdivision,
Louisville Division. The proposed
changes consist of the discontinuance
and removal of three electric locks from
independently operated derails ‘‘M’’
and ‘‘N,’’ and inside crossover switch
‘‘G.’’ The proposed changes are
associated with the installation of shunt
and break type circuits to open the
signal control circuits when the derails
are not in the derailing position, or if
the inside switch is not in the normal
position.
The reason given for the proposed
changes is that the modification will
allow these switch locations to comply
with present CSXT standards for
independently operated derails and the
inside switch of a crossover between a
main track and a yard track.

Docket Number FRA–2006–24563
Applicant: Long Island Rail Road, Mr.
Brian J. Finn, Chief Engineer, Hillside
Maintenance Complex, 93–59 183
Street, Hollis, New York 11423.
The Long Island Rail Road Company
(LIRR) seeks relief from the
requirements of the Rules, Standard and
Instructions, Title 49 CFR, Part 236,
§ 236.51, Track circuit requirements, to
the extent that the LIRR be permitted to
utilize single rail track circuits which do
not provide for broken rail protection, in
the vicinity of a new LIRR terminal
called East Side Access (ESA). The ESA
Project is a new rail and tunnel
connection being developed, which will
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001
operate from existing Harold
Interlocking, located in Long Island
City, Queens, New York, extending
approximately 3.5 miles into a new
eight track terminal at Grand Central
Terminal (GCT), in New York City, New
York. There is a total of 36 specified
track circuits involved.
Applicant’s justification for relief:
(1) The track speed for these circuits
will be restricted to 15 mph.
(2) The track in this area will be
inspected, a minimum of twice per
week, for evidence of broken rail.
(3) The cost to provide broken rail
protection in the area is estimated to
cost $30 million, due to the necessary
installation of reactors in the negative
return circuits. These reactors are
necessary for LIRR’s double rail track
circuits in DC propulsion territory, to
prevent leakage current from adjoining
track circuits from keeping track relays
energized, in the event of a broken rail.
(4) The installation of broken rail
reactors would have an effect on the
tunnel construction and the
environmental impact study (EIS), due
to increased ventilation plant
requirements for the reactors.
Any interested party desiring to
protest the granting of an application
shall set forth specifically the grounds
upon which the protest is made, and
contain 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.
