Notice of Application for Approval of Discontinuance or Modification of a Railroad Signal System or Relief From the Requirements of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations Part 236
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-2008-0102.
Applicant: Canadian National Railway, Mr. Timothy R. Luhm, Senior Manager of SC, 1625 Depot Street, Stevens Point, Wisconsin 54481.
The Canadian National Railway Company (CN) seeks approval of the proposed discontinuance and removal of an automatic block signal system from Milepost 40.2 to Milepost 41.9 on the Dresser slide fence, CN Lake Zone, Dresser Subdivision, Wisconsin. The reason for the proposed changes is that the slide fence is not required with the current restricted speed requirement. A 10 miles per hour speed restriction will extend through the entire slide area.
