the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) seeking approval to discontinue or modify a signal system. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2018-0042.

Applicant: CSX Transportation, Mr. Carl Walker, Chief Engineer Communications & Signals, 500 Water Street, Speed Code J--350, Jacksonville, FL 32202.

CSX seeks approval to discontinue the signal system on the main tracks between control point (CP) Strick, milepost (MP) OWI 208.1 on the EK Subdivision, Winchester, KY, and CP Blackey, MP OVB 267.1 on the Rockhouse Subdivision, Blackey, KY. CSX proposes to discontinue the CP-

511 and TC-510 Rules in the track segment and operate under TWC-D-505 Rules.

CSX states the reason for the proposed change is that CP-511 and TC-510 Rules are no longer needed for present day operation.
