Re: CP Positive Train Control Infrastructure in Your Community
Dear Mr.Firnstahl;
Canadian Pacific(CP)would like to inform the city that CP is planning to install five 40-foot Tip Towers within CP's
railroad right-of-way along CP's Marquette Subdivision in the City of Dubuque within Dubuque County, IA, As
part of the Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act(NHPA),we are currently in the 30 day review
period for these antenna poles and welcome your input.
The proposed Wayside Tip Towers are being constructed to ensure effective radio communication coverage for
railroad operations in the area as well as the Base Station Tower as an integral part ofthe federally mandated
Positive Train Control("PTC')system. The proposed Wayside Tip Towers and associated bungalows will be
Installed in disturbed land within CP's railroad right-of-way.
The Tip Towers will be constructed within the existing disturbed railroad right-of-way adjacent to or In proximity
of existing CTC signal poles and bungalows. The tip-towers will be installed on a 5-foot tall and 3-foot wide
precast foundation(see attached typical installation design). The installation will require the excavation ofthe
existing disturbed railroad right-of-way to the approximate size of the precast foundation. The precast
foundation will be inserted into the excavation and backfilled. The tip-towers will be secured to the precast
foundation with anchor bolts. For your reference,included(attached) is the FCC Section 106 Review Tower
Construction Notification System(TCNS) package.
In addition,as required by the National Historic Preservation Act(NHPA),CP will be publishing Public Notice in
the Telegraph Herald inviting the members of your community to submit comments as to how the Tower may
adversely affect Historic Properties.
If you have any comments regarding how these poles may impact historic properties,or any other general
concerns with CP,please call me at(605)321-7343 or email me at herb—loner@cpr.ca.
Sincerely;
