The existing tower and its associated switching equipment are obsolete. For the High- Speed Rail (HSR) program, the tower must be replaced with modern equipment. This action will cause an Adverse Effect to the Lenox Tower, a resource determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. This Adverse Effect finding is documented in the attached concurrence letter dated August 12, 2014. The attached draft document outlines proposed mitigation measures, which include Historic American Building Survey recordation and marketing of tower components prior to the removal of the tower. On behalf of the FRA and in accordance with the HSR Programmatic Agreement, ratified January 24, 2014, we request your review of the proposed mitigation measures. Please provide comments within 30 days. If you have no comments, then we request the concurrence of the State Historic Preservation Officer regarding the proposed mitigation measures.

The three letters are from the General Chairmen of GO-377, GO-433, and GO-987 of the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers, Transportation Division (“SMART-TD”). All three general chairmen write that their local unions “unequivocally support[] approval of Canadian National’s voting trust.” In combination, GO-377, GO-433, and GO-987 represent over 1800 conductors on the CN system in the United States. GO-377 represents over 200 conductors on the Grand Trunk Western Railroad Company; GO-433 represents over 800 conductors employed on the Illinois Central Railroad Company and the Chicago-Central & Pacific Railroad Company; and GO-987 1 CN-22 KCS-5 represents approximately 800 conductors on the Wisconsin Central Ltd. portion of CN’s system. Applicants note that the letter by General Chairman Flashberger of GO-987 was previously filed in this docket on June 16, 2021. Canadian Pacific then included the letter in its filing on Monday, June 21, and falsely claimed that it was a letter “express[ing] opposition to approval of Canadian National’s voting trust.”1 Despite Canadian Pacific’s misrepresentation, Mr.
