Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 22 / Wednesday, February 4, 2009 / Notices 6083 

Union Pacific Railroad Company 

(Docket Number FRA–2008–0166) 

The Union Pacific Railroad Company 

(UP) seeks a waiver of compliance from 

certain provisions of 49 CFR part 218, 

Railroad Operating Practices. 

Specifically, UP is requesting a waiver 

of Blue Signal Requirements as 

prescribed in 49 CFR 218.25 Workers on 

a main track, in Kansas City, KS and 

Kansas City, MO. These tracks are in the 

middle of the Kansas City facilities and 

are used for functions normally 

performed on yard tracks. Trains 

passing through the Kansas City 

Terminal stop for fuel, locomotive 

inspection, or adding or removing 

power from the train. To perform this 

work on the main track, UP must 

provide blue signal protection under 49 

CFR 218.25. This request is for the 

following track locations: 

• Main 1 and Main 2 between 

Manchester and Troost. (MX279– 

MX281); 

• Main 1 and Main 2 at 18th St. 

Between KX004 and KX006; 

• Mainline at 10th St. (KX287– 

KX289). 

UP is requesting flexibility to treat 

these main tracks at the Kansas City 

facilities as tracks other than main 

tracks so they can have the option of 

protecting its employees working on, 

under, or between rolling equipment in 

accordance with § 218.25 Workers on a 

main track, or § 218.27 Workers on track 

other than main track, or a combination 

of both. UP believes that the safest and 

most efficient method of protecting its 

employees in the Kansas City facilities 

is through the use of a combination of 

blue signal protection and remotely 

controlled switches. UP believes that 

this request is similar to a waiver 

originally granted to the SP at El Paso, 

TX, and renewed to the UP under 

Docket Number FRA–2000–7669. UP 

states they have operated under the 

requirements of that waiver without any 

adverse effect on safety of operations 

and would like to have the same 

conditions for this request. 

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 

appropriate docket number (e.g., Waiver 

Petition Docket Number FRA–2008– 

0166) and may be submitted by any of 

the following methods:
