[Docket Number FRA–2018–0015]
Notice of Application for Approval To
Discontinue or Modify a Railroad
Signal System
Under part 235 of Title 49 of the Code
of Federal Regulations (CFR) and 49
U.S.C. 20502(a), this provides the public
notice that on January 21, 2018, Norfolk
Southern Corporation (NS) petitioned
the Federal Railroad Administration
(FRA) seeking approval to discontinue
or modify a signal system. FRA assigned
the petition Docket Number FRA–2018–
0015.
Applicant: Norfolk Southern
Corporation, Mr. B. L. Sykes, Chief
Engineer C&S Engineering, 1200
Peachtree Street NE, Atlanta, GA 30309.
NS seeks to discontinue the existing
signal location at milepost (MP) SC–
127.5 on the Charleston District,
Piedmont Division, at the west end of
Andrews Yard, Columbia, SC. The
existing positive signal, MP SC127.5,
will be retired from service. A new
crossover will be installed from the SC
mainline to the yard track lead to allow
trains to enter and exit the yard from
multiple tracks. The existing westbound
automatic signal located at MP SC–
128.1 will become a positive signal and
govern movements out of the yard per
NS rules. The existing eastbound
automatic signal at MP SC 128.0 will be
removed from service.
NS states the reason for the proposed
change is to increase efficiency of yard
operations at the expanded west end of
the yard and expedite train movements
in and out of the yard.
