interlockings required by the FRA place
an undue burden on the railroad. Due to
train traffic, some large control points
can take a month or more to complete
the 2-year locking tests. Once a
processor-based system has been tested
and locking tests documented on
installation, re-testing should not be
required since the logic continues to
operate in the same manor as it did
when installed and the operation does
not change.
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.

Notice of Application for Approval of
Discontinuance or Modification of a
Railroad Signal System or Relief From
the Requirements of Title 49 Code of
Federal Regulations Part 236
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.
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 main track and yard
tracks, at CP-Bowl, milepost 000–384.3,
on the Atlanta Division, Boyles
Terminal Subdivision, near
Birmingham, Alabama. The proposed
changes consist of a reduction to the
limits of the traffic control system,
including the following: discontinuance
of all controlled signals at CP-Bowl,
conversion of all remaining poweroperated switches to hydraulic type
switches under the jurisdiction and
control of the local yardmaster, and
designation of the trackage to Yard
Limits, CSXT Operating Rule 193, for
train movement authority.
The reason given for the proposed
changes is that present day operation,
along with the proposal to modify the
track configuration, including
installation of an additional main track
between Black Creek and Mary Lee,
does not warrant retention of the poweroperated switches and signals.
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

block signal (ABS) system; conversion
of all power-operated switches to hand
operation; and conversion of the method
of operation to TWC–DCS authority,
supplemented by signal indications of
the ABS system.
The reason given for the proposed
