Federal Railroad Administration 

Petition for Waiver of Compliance 

In accordance with part 211 of Title 

49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 

notice is hereby given that the Federal 

Railroad Administration (FRA) has 

received a request for a waiver of 

compliance from certain requirements 

of its safety standards. The individual 

petition is described below, including 

the party seeking relief, the regulatory 

provisions involved, the nature of the 

relief being requested, and the 

petitioner’s arguments in favor of relief. 

Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum, Inc. 

[Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA–2010– 

0161] 

The Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum, 

Inc. (HVRM) of North Judson, Indiana, 

has petitioned for a permanent waiver of 

compliance for five cabooses from the 

requirements of the Railroad Safety 

Glazing Standards, title 49 CFR part 

223, which require certified glazing in 

all windows. The subject cabooses do 

not meet the glazing requirements as per 

49 CFR 223.13. The reporting marks on 

these cabooses, with built-years in 

parentheses, are as follows: B&LE 1989 

(1956), EL C345 (1953), NKP 471 (1962), 

GTW 75072 (1948) and EJ&E 184 (1970). 

HVRM states that they are a 501(c)(3) 

non-profit organization with the mission 

to preserve railroad history in northwest 

Indiana. The subject cabooses are used 

in tourist, historic and/or excursion 

operations for the purpose of historic 

demonstration, photography and film 

production. 

The subject cabooses are only 

operated at limited track speed over the 

Chesapeake & Indiana Railroad (CKIN) 

over tracks owned by the Town of North 

Judson, Indiana, and are operated under 

yard limits subject to the authority of 

CKIN. HVRM states that the installed 

glass is in good condition, operations 

are in a benign environment, and the 

expense of retrofitting the subject 

cabooses with FRA certified glazing will 

impose a high financial burden. 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in these proceedings by 

submitting written views, data, or 

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 

an opportunity for oral comment, they 

should notify FRA, in writing, before 

the end of the comment period and 

specify the basis for their request. 

All communications concerning these 

proceedings should identify the

Petition Docket Number FRA–2010–
