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

Applicant: CSX Transportation, Incorporated, Mr. N. Michael Choat,
Chief Engineer, Communications and Signal, 4901 Belfort Road, Suite

CSX Transportation, Incorporated seeks approval of the proposed
discontinuance and removal of the interlocking signal system on the
single main track, Lower Savannah River Bridge, milepost AK456.3, near
Augusta, Georgia, on the Florence Division, Augusta Subdivision. The
proposed changes consist of the removal of the interlocked signals at
the bridge, all associated signal equipment, and the associated
inoperative approach signals. The authority for movements will remain
Main Track Yard Limits (Rule 193) with a maximum authorized of 15 mph.
The reason given for the proposed changes is that the bridge has
been straight-railed, and was last opened in 1992.
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.

facility. All documents in the public docket are also available for

FRA wishes to inform all potential commenters that anyone is able

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.
