NS seeks approval of the proposed retirement of Control Point (CP) 145 and the discontinuance of the traffic control system (TCS) on the Miami Outbound Track, Milepost (MP) CJ 144.7 to MP CJ 145.2; Miami Inbound Track, MP QZ 0.0 to MP QZ 0.85; Alton Outbound Track, MP CJ 145.2 to MP CJ 146.2; and the Alton Inbound Track, MP CJ 145.81 to MP CJ 146.2; and on the Buckeye Yard Branch and Dayton District of the NS Lake Division, North Alton, OH.Show citation box

The reason given for the proposed changes is that Buckeye Yard is no longer used as a classification yard and the existing operating rules and CP are no longer required for railroad operations. All tracks listed above will be designated “yard limits” under NS Operating Rule 137. Switch 1 at CP 145 will be converted to a hand-thrown switch and all signals will be removed.

Makes it that much easier to sell off the south end old receiving tracks to G&W now....
