 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-2006-26718]

    Applicant: CSX Transportation, Incorporated, Mr. C. M. King, Chief 
Engineer, Communications and Signals, 500 Water Street, SC J-350, 
Jacksonville, Florida 32202.
    CSX Transportation, Incorporated, seeks approval of the proposed 
modification of the traffic control system on the single main track and 
siding near Woodbury, Georgia, Milepost ANB-798, on the Atlanta 
Division, Manchester Subdivision. The proposed changes consist of the 
conversion of each power-operated switch at each end of the 4,638-foot 
Woodbury siding to electrically locked hand operation and the 
discontinuance and removal of all the associated controlled signals.
    The reason given for the proposed changes is that a new 10,000-foot 
signaled siding is being constructed approximately 4 miles south of the 
present Woodbury siding.
    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.

of the Nassif Building, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC,

Statement in the Federal Register published on April 11, 2000 (Volume

    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.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on February 7, 2007.
