BILLING CODE 4910–13–P
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Railroad Administration
[Docket Number FRA–2020–0084]
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 September 11, 2020, CSX
Transportation (CSXT) petitioned the
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)
seeking approval to discontinue or
modify a signal system. FRA assigned
the petition Docket Number FRA–2020–
0084.
PO 00000
Frm 00131
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Applicant: CSX Transportation, Mr.
Carl A. Walker, Chief Engineer
Communications & Signals, 500 Water
Street, Speed Code J–350, Jacksonville,
Florida 32202.
Specifically, CSXT requests
permission to discontinue the use of the
automatic train control (ATC) segment
of the cab signal systems (CSS) onboard
equipped CSXT locomotives that
operate on the RF&P subdivision,
located between Richmond, Virginia,
and Washington, DC.
CSXT states that discontinuing the
use of ATC when operating on the RF&P
will provide a standardized operation
across all CSS-equipped CSXT
locomotives, enhancing reliability and
safety. This standardization will
enhance safety by reducing maintenance
due to failures, train crew cutouts, and
line of road equipment failure.
CSS with the ATC segment removed
will still stop the train if the locomotive
operator does not acknowledge any
signal downgrade, even if the positive
train control (PTC) system is cutout.
CSXT implemented the I–ETMS PTC
system on the RF&P in October 2018.
Wayside signal cab generators,
locomotive cab signal equipment, and
automatic train stop will remain.
A copy of the petition, as well as any
written communications concerning the
petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov.
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 parties desire
an opportunity for oral comment and a
public hearing, they should notify FRA,
in writing, before the end of the
comment period and specify the basis
for their request.
All communications concerning these
proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number and may be
submitted by any of the following
methods:
• Website: https://
www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments.
• Fax: 202–493–2251.
