[Docket Number FRA-2013-0074]


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

    In accordance with Part 235 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations 
and 49 U.S.C. 20502(a), this document provides the public notice that 
by a document dated June 28, 2013, Norfolk Southern Corporation (NS) 
petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) seeking approval 
for the discontinuance or modification of a signal system. FRA assigned 
the petition Docket Number FRA-2013-0074.
    Applicant: Norfolk Southern Corporation, Mr. Brian Sykes, Chief 
Engineer, C&S Engineering, 1200 Peachtree Street NE., Atlanta, GA 
30309.
    NS seeks approval of the proposed discontinuance of Control Point 
(CP) CSXT Connection, at Milepost (MP) H 194.9 on the NS Roanoke 
District, Virginia Division, between Shenandoah and Roanoke, VA. CP 
CSXT Connection will be discontinued, and all associated signal 
equipment and Crossover 83 will be removed. Signals 82L, 82RA, 
82RC, 84L, and 84R will be removed. Power-operated switch 81 
will be converted to a hand-operated switch equipped with an electric 
lock.
    The reason given for the proposed changes is that CP CSXT 
Connection is seldom used and no longer needed for railroad operations.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications 
concerning the petition, is available for review online at 
www.regulations.gov and in person at the Department of Transportation's
