The Union Pacific Railroad Company
(UP) seeks approval of the proposed
discontinuance and removal of the rail
locks on the Conley frogs on the Hudson

The Hudson Swing Bridge has wedges
with circuit controllers which measure
the required 1″ to determine that the
bridge is properly seated, and circuit
controllers and linkage to measure the
surface of the rail to within the required
3⁄8″.

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.

hearing is accompanied by a showing

for public hearing.
