 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 S&C, 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.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings 
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate 
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since

desires an opportunity for oral comment, they should notify FRA, in 
writing, before the end of the comment period and specify the basis for 
their request.
