railroad historians. Revenue from these 

activities is used to further restore/ 

maintain these cars for public display. 

On occasion, these locomotives and cars 

are also used in the maintenance of the 

organization’s track. As one of the key 

purposes of the organization is to 

maintain the historic appearances of its 

cars and locomotives, compliance with 

the reflectorization of railroad freight 

rolling stock would greatly affect the 

historic appearance of this equipment. 

Stenciling requirements would also 

impact the appearance of those cars 

used periodically in maintenance of 

way service. 

WVRR further states that it believes 

that a number of factors limit the impact 

on the public on its museum line. Main 

road crossings are signaled, primarily in 

the City of Connersville, Town of Laurel 

and at US Route 52 in Metamora, 

Indiana. Other grade crossings are on 

low volume paved and gravel roads 

with reflectorized grade crossing signs 

and posts to draw attention to these 

crossings. Freight car trains seldom run 

at night or during periods of poor 

visibility and are of limited length, 

generally fewer than 10 cars with the 

locomotive still visible at most of its 

grade crossings. 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in these proceedings by

comments. FRA does not anticipate 

scheduling a public hearing in 

connection with these proceedings since 

the facts do not appear to warrant a 

hearing. If any interested party desires

the end of the comment period and

of RoadRailer® and RailRunner®

Specifically, CSXT seeks relief from 

certain provisions of the Railroad Safety
