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.
[Docket Number FRA–2008–0010]
Applicant: Northwestern Pacific
Railroad Company, Mr. John H.
Williams, President, 385 Sherman
Avenue, Suite 1, Palo Alto, California
94306–1840.
The Northwestern Pacific Railroad
Company (NWP) seeks approval of the
proposed discontinuance and removal
of the interlocking signal systems on
three drawbridges that are located
between a point near Lombard,
California, at Milepost (MP) 63.4 and a
point near Petaluma, California, at MP
38.5 on the NWP’s Russian River
Division at the following three
locations: Brazos Drawbridge, MP 64.7;
Black Point Drawbridge, MP 28.7; and
Haystack Landing Drawbridge, MP 37.2.
The reason given for the proposed
changes is that the three interlocking
signal systems have not been in service
for the last seven years and have fallen
into disrepair. The signal systems do not
presently comply with FRA
requirements for these types of systems.
Any interested party desiring to
protest the granting of an application
shall set forth specifically the grounds
upon which the protest is made, and
PO 00000

shall be furnished to the applicant at the
address listed above.
FRA expects to be able to determine
these matters without an oral hearing.
However, if a specific request for an oral
hearing is accompanied by a showing
that the party is unable to adequately
present his or her position by written
statements, an application may be set
for public hearing.

proceeding should be identified by
