Federal Railroad Administration

 
 Notice of Application for Approval of Discontinuance or 
Modification of a Railroad Signal System

    Pursuant to Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 235 and 
49 U.S.C. 20502(a), the following railroad has petitioned the Federal 
Railroad Administration (FRA), seeking approval for the discontinuance 
or modification of the signal system or relief from the requirements of 
49 CFR Part 236, as detailed below.

Docket Number FRA-2010-0119

    Applicant: CSX Transportation, Inc., Mr. Joseph S. Ivanyo, Chief 
Engineer, Communications and Signals, 500 Water Street, SC J-350, 
Jacksonville, Florida 32202.
    CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSX) seeks approval of the proposed 
modification of the traffic control system at Mileposts OWA 63.8 and 
OWA 63.0 on the W&A Subdivision, Atlanta Division, at Adairsville, 
Georgia. The modification consists of the removal of Control Points 
North Halls and South Halls, including the removal of the power-
operated switch, switch frog, and turnout, and signals 26LA, 26LC, and 
26R, at South Halls (Milepost OWA 63.0); and the conversion of the 
power-operated switch to a hand-throw switch, and removal of signals 
28LA, 28RA, and 28RC, at North Halls (Milepost OWA 63.8). Intermediate 
Signals 631 and 630 will be installed at Milepost 63.0.
    The reason given for the proposed change is that the existing 
siding is no longer needed for current operations.
    Any interested party desiring to 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. However, if a specific request for an oral hearing is 
accompanied by a showing that the party is unable to adequately present 
his or her position by written statements, an application may be set 
for public hearing.
    All communications concerning this proceeding should be identified 
by Docket Number FRA-2010-0119, and may be submitted by one of the
