    Norfolk Southern Corporation has asked the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for permission to discontinue or modify a signal system on the Bloomington District of the Midwest Division, between certain mileposts, which include several control points and automatic signals. They plan to switch this segment to a different type of operation because the current system is no longer needed for their operations. The FRA has given the public until April 5, 2021, to share their comments on this proposal through various methods such as online comments, fax, mail, or hand delivery. Comments will help the FRA decide on the petition, although it doesn't expect a public hearing unless requested.
