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

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.

for public hearing.
