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–2008–0024
Applicant: BNSF Railway, Mr. Ralph
Young, Director Signal Engineering,
4515 Kansas Avenue, Kansas City,
Kansas 66106–1199.
The BNSF Railway (BNSF) seeks
approval of the proposed
discontinuance and removal of two
operative approach signals. The
operative approach signals are located
on the Freight Lead, Signal No. 2E, and
on the Fuel Lead, Signal No. 1E, at
Jarales Control Point in Belen, New
Mexico, on the Southwest Division,
Clovis Subdivision (LS 7100, Milepost
895.31). The reason for the proposed
changes is that new absolute signals at
Jarales Control Point were installed on
a signal bridge and their preview is no
longer an issue. In addition, the
operative approach signals may be
creating operational confusion for the
train crews.
Interested parties are invited to
participate in these proceedings by
submitting written views, data, or
comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in
connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a
hearing. If any interested party desires
an opportunity for oral comment, they
should notify FRA, in writing, before
the end of the comment period and
specify the basis for their request.
All communications concerning these
proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number (Docket
Number FRA–2008–0024) and may be
submitted by any of the following
