Modification of a Railroad Signal System or Relief From Requirements
Pursuant to Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 235 and
49 U.S.C. 20502(a), the following railroads have petitioned the Federal
Railroad Administration (FRA) seeking approval for the discontinuance

Applicant: Union Pacific Railroad Company, Mr. W. E. Wimmer, Vice

The Union Pacific Railroad Company seeks approval of the proposed
modification of the traffic control system, on Main Tracks No.'s 1, 2,
and 3, at milepost 510.8, near Cheyenne, Wyoming, on the Laramie
Subdivision, consisting of the discontinuance and removal of three
power-operated derails within the limits CP W511. The reason given for
the proposed changes is that the derails are no longer needed.
Any interested party desiring to protest the granting of an
application shall set forth specifically the grounds upon which the
protest is made, and contain 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.
All communications concerning this proceeding should be identified

Central Docket Management Facility, Room PL-401 (Plaza Level), 400 7th
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590-0001. Communications received within
45 days of the date of this notice will be considered by the FRA before
final action is taken. Comments received after that date will be
considered as far as practicable. All written communications concerning
these proceedings are available for examination during regular business
hours (9 a.m.--5 p.m.) at the above facility. All documents in the
public docket are also available for inspection and copying on the
internet at the docket facility's Web site at http://dms.dot.gov.
FRA wishes to inform all potential commenters that anyone is able
to search the electronic form of all comments received into any of our
dockets by the name of the individual submitting the comment (or
signing the comment, if submitted on behalf of an association,
business, labor union, etc.). You may review DOT's complete Privacy Act

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.
