[Docket Number FRA-2010-0157]
Notice of Application for Approval of Discontinuance or
Modification of a Railroad Signal System
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, as detailed below.
Applicant: Twin Cities & Western Railroad Company, Mr. Mark Wegner,
President, 2925 12th Street East, Glencoe, Minnesota 55336.
The Twin Cities & Western Railroad Company (TC&W) seeks approval of
the proposed modification of the interlocking at milepost 543.0, in
Granite Falls, Minnesota. The modification consists of the movement of
the west bound home signal, 98LA, to a point west of the west siding
switch; the conversion of the west siding switch from push-button
control to hand-operation; the discontinuance and removal of the 98LB
signal; and the removal of the ``B'' head from the 98R signal.
The reason given for the proposed change is to eliminate components
that are not necessary for present day operations.
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
[[Page 70772]]
shall be furnished to the applicant at the address listed above.
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.
