DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

Petition for Waiver of Compliance 

In accordance with Title 49 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 211, 

notice is hereby given that the Federal 

Railroad Administration (FRA) received 

a request for a waiver of compliance 

from certain Federal railroad safety 

requirements. 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. 

Twin Cities and Western Railroad 

[Docket Number FRA–2006–26093] 

Twin Cities and Western Railroad 

(TC&W) seeks a permanent waiver of 

compliance from certain provisions of 

the Railroad Safety Appliance Standards 

in 49 CFR part 231, concerning 

RailRunner train operations over their 

system. Specifically, TC&W requests 

relief from those sections of 49 CFR part 

231 that stipulate the number, location, 

and dimensions for handholds, ladders, 

sill steps, uncoupling levers, and 

handbrakes. TC&W also seeks relief 

from 49 CFR 231.31, which sets the 

standard height for drawbars. 

TC&W states that this waiver is 

necessary to permit them to begin 

operation of RailRunner equipment 

between Appleton, Minnesota, and 

Minneapolis, Minnesota. TC&W 

requests that this petition, if approved, 

be modeled on conditions contained in 

waiver FRA–2003–16203, which was 

granted to the Norfolk Southern Railway 

and RailRunner on March 25, 2005. 

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 this 

petition should identify the appropriate 

docket number (FRA–2006–26093) and 

may be submitted by one of the 

following methods:

the plaza level of the Nassif Building, 

400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington,

Communication received within 45 

days of the date of this notice will be

being taken. Comments received after 

that date will be considered to the 

extent practicable. All written 

communications concerning these 

proceedings are available for
