Federal Railroad Administration
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
PO 00000
Frm 00094
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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–2009–0046.
Applicant: Paducah & Louisville
Railway, Inc., Mr. C.D. Edwards,
General Supervisor of Signals and
Structures, 1400 Bell Avenue, Paducah,
Kentucky 42003.
The Paducah & Louisville Railway,
Inc. (P&L) seeks approval of the
proposed discontinuance and removal
of signal locations between Milepost
(MP) J 22.0 and MP J 45.0, and replacing
with new signal and track circuitry.
The locations are between West Point,
Kentucky, MP J 22.0 and North Cecilia,
Kentucky, MP J 45.0. The proposal
consists of retiring nine back-to-back
signal locations between MP J 22 and
MP J 45, and replacing with six back-toback signal locations. Electro Code II
track circuitry is to be replaced with
Electro Code 5 track circuitry.
The signals to be removed are: J234,
J235; J262, J261; NBH, J283; J308, SBH;
J238, J239; J356, J355; J382, J381; J408,
J407; and J432, J433. The signals to be
installed are: J250, J251; NBH, J283;
J308, SBH; J346, J345; J382, J381; and
J420, J421.
The reason given for the proposed
changes is to improve safety of train
operation and reduce the cost of testing,
and maintenance.
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.
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.
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.
