FRA has assigned the petition Docket Number FRA–2012–0020. UP, Amtrak, and the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) plan to conduct demonstration highspeed passenger train operations over a portion of the corridor between Chicago, IL, and St. Louis, MO, as part of the high-speed rail (HSR) program. The demonstration segments are on UP’s Joliet Subdivision, between Control Point (CP) X073 South Dwight, milepost (MP) 72.81; and CP X093 Pontiac, MP 92.48. VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:27 Apr 16, 2012 Jkt 226001 This modification of ITCS is in furtherance of the High-Speed Rail 2A Route Construction Agreement or the ‘‘2A Agreement.’’ High-speed passenger trains will operate up to 110 mph on UP’s portion of the 2A route. UP freight trains will continue to operate at speeds not to exceed 60 mph. The scope of the work for the 2A Agreement requires UP to design, procure, and install: 1. Cab signal fixed equipment in an initial segment between Dwight and Pontiac. 2. A train control system meeting Positive Train Control (PTC) requirements on the entire UP portion of the route, in accordance with Federal regulations. Because the proposed system does not meet the statutory and regulatory requirements for PTC systems, and does not interoperate with the same, UP and Amtrak plan to seek FRA approval for its operation under Part 236, Subpart H. Operation on the demonstration segment will be under the centralized traffic control rules of the General Code of Operating Rules. UP freight trains will use automatic cab signals (ACS), consistent with the operation on its other ACS territories that do not provide speed control. Amtrak passenger trains will use the speed control function of the automatic train control onboard their locomotives, which provides enforcement of speed limits associated with signal indications. UP and Amtrak are the only operators on the demonstration segment. ITCS will provide a mechanism for safe activation of highway-grade crossing warning devices by passenger trains operating in excess of 79 mph. In addition, the two-way communications feature of ITCS allows crossing health and status information to be provided to approaching ITCS equipped trains.
