Norfolk Southern Corporation has submitted a request to the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) asking to discontinue or change the signal system on a section of tracks from milepost 10.3 to milepost 144.4 on the Dry Fork Branch of the Blue Ridge Division. This change would involve removing the existing traffic control system in this area and switching to a different method of operation. The public is invited to view details of this request and send any comments or concerns to the FRA by April 5, 2021. If the public wants a hearing on this matter, they must submit their reasons in writing before the end of the comment period.
Simple Explanation
Norfolk Southern wants to change how they control trains on some tracks and have asked for permission. People can look at their plan and say if they like it or not by a certain date.
