  • Wirelines – Electrical, Fiber, Cable, etc.
  • Pipelines – Water, Sewer, Gas, culverts, etc.
  • Small cell construction (complete the new Utility Application)

Rights of Entry Permits: Right of Entry access for temporary purposes ONLY. 

  • Surveying, Ingress/Egress, Inspection of bridges, roads, soil borings or sampling, wide load on operating track and/or property, and property remediation.
  • Environmental investigation, monitoring wells, soil testing, etc.

Wireless Infrastructure Permits: The construction of new or co-location of wireless equipment on CSX property.
