[BS-AP-No. 3360]
Norfolk Southern Railway Co.; Public Hearing
The Norfolk Southern Railway Company, Central of Georgia Railroad
has petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), seeking
approval of the proposed discontinuance and removal of the automatic
block signal and traffic control signal systems, on the single main
track ``P'' Line and sidings between Columbus, Georgia, milepost P-
291.8 and Leeds, Alabama, milepost P-423.8, Alabama Division, Columbus
and Norris Yard District, a distance of approximately 132 miles.
This proceeding is identified as FRA Block Signal Application
Number 3360.
FRA has issued a public notice seeking comments of interested
parties and has conducted a field investigation in this matter. After
examining the proposal, field report, and letters of protest, the FRA
has determined that a public hearing is necessary before a final
decision is made on this proposal.
Accordingly, a public hearing is hereby set for 10 a.m. on
Thursday, January 25, 1996, in the G. W. Andrews Federal Court House
Building, located at 701 Avenue A, in Opelika, Alabama. Interested
parties are invited to present oral statements at the hearing.
The hearing will be an informal one and will be conducted in
accordance with Rule 25 of the FRA Rules of Practice (Title 49 CFR
211.25), by a representative designated by the FRA.
[[Page 67161]]
The hearing will be a nonadversary proceeding and, therefore, there
will be no cross-examination of persons presenting statements. The FRA
representative will make an opening statement outlining the scope of
the hearing. After all initial statements have been completed, those
persons wishing to make brief rebuttal statements will be given the
opportunity to do so in the same order in which they made their initial
statements. Additional procedures, if necessary for the conduct of the
hearing, will be announced at the hearing.
Issued in Washington, D.C. on December 21, 1995.
Phil Olekszyk,
Deputy Associate Administrator for Safety Compliance and Program
Implementation.
