[Docket Number FRA–2020–0055]
Notice of Application for Approval of
Discontinuance or Modification of 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 document provides
the public notice that on June 18, 2020,
Union Pacific Railroad Company
(UPRR) petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) seeking approval
to discontinue or modify a signal
system. FRA assigned the petition
Docket Number FRA–2020–0055.
Applicant: Union Pacific Railroad
Company, Mr. Neal Hathaway, AVP
Signal Maintenance & Construction,
1400 Douglas Street MS/RM 0910,
Omaha, NE 68179.
Specifically, UPRR requests
permission to return a portion of a
traffic control system to yard track on
the Moffat Tunnel Subdivision, between
milepost (MP) 3.64 and MP 4.68, in or
near Denver, Colorado.
Returning Moffat Runner (Track 101)
to yard track will allow a remote control
locomotive pullback on Track 102 to be
extended to DS005, at Federal
Boulevard, stopping the pullback
control 290 feet short of the insulated
joints for signal 2W(S) CD.
In its petition, UPRR states the reason
for the change is to allow its Operating
Practices team to pull longer car cuts
out of the yard, which will in turn help
with congestion and conflict in the
North Yard.
A copy of the petition, as well as any
written communications concerning the
petition, is available for review online at

[Docket Number FRA–2019–0081]
Notice of Application for Approval of
Discontinuance or Modification of 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 document provides
the public notice that by a document
dated July 3, 2020, Grenada Railroad,
LLC (GRYR) petitioned the Federal
Railroad Administration (FRA) seeking
approval to discontinue or modify a
signal system. FRA assigned the petition
Docket Number FRA–2019–0081.
Applicant: Grenada Railroad, LLC,
Barbara W. Wilson, President & CFO,
1515 S. Federal Highway, Suite 404,
Boca Raton, FL 33432.
Specifically, GRYR seeks
reconsideration of FRA’s May 7, 2020,
decision to deny GRYR’s September 18,
2019, proposed discontinuance and
removal of the automatic block signal
(ABS) system located from milepost
(MP) 403.0 near Southaven, MS, to MP
617.4 near Grenada, MS.
In its July 3, 2020, petition, GRYR
states that reactivation of the ABS
system, which has been out of service
since 2014, is not justified by current
rail operations, and the prohibitive costs
of reactivation will require the use of
capital which could be better spent on
other projects to yield stronger safety
benefits.
GRYR further states that under the
ownership of RailUSA, GRYR has
worked diligently and invested
significantly to revitalize this longneglected rail line, re-establish
operations on the southern half of its
system, and improve the safety and
operations of the northern half of its
system. The committed focus on rail
safety and continued investment in
infrastructure is expected to continue to
improve the safety and operations of
GRYR’s main line and adjacent rail
facilities.

written communications concerning the
petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov and in person at
the U.S. Department of Transportation’s
