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 July 14, 2017, Ann Arbor Railroad (AARR) and CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSXT) jointly petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) seeking approval to discontinue or modify a signal system. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2017-0079.
Applicants: Ann Arbor Railroad, Mr. John Vance, General Manager, Operations Office, 4058 Chrysler Drive, Toledo, Ohio 43608; CSX Transportation, Director Joint Facilities, 500 Water Street, Jacksonville, FL 32202.
AARR seeks to modify the Hallett Interlocking, at Toledo, Ohio, by converting power-operated switches numbers 13A, 13B, 15, and 21 to hand-operation. AARR signals 10L, 14R, 16L, 18L, 18R, 18RC, and 22R are to be retired with signals 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18 installed closer to the diamond. CSXT signals 2L, 4L, and 6R will become CSXT 2, 4, and 6, with new signal 8 installed. CSXT switch #20 to become CSXT switch #3.
This modification is to be done in conjunction with the CSXT positive train control (PTC) project.
