          - [Docket Number FRA-2007-28613]

                    Under part 211 of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this provides the public notice that by a letter dated June 18, 2018, the San Francisco Bay Railroad (SFBR), formerly doing business as LB Railco, has petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for a renewal of a waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR part 223,                     *Safety glazing standards—locomotives, passenger cars and cabooses*. FRA assigned the petition docket number FRA-2007-28613.                

Specifically, SFBR requests relief for SFBR No. 23, an Alco S-2 diesel electric switcher locomotive built in 1945. The locomotive has its original glass in the cab, consisting of 13 separate windows. SFBR 23 has been operating for the past 73 years in and around the same area of San Francisco, and the glass has remained intact without damage. SFBR maintains 5 miles of Class 1 track with a maximum allowable speed of 10 miles per hour.

                    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications concerning the petition, is available for review online at                     *www.regulations.gov*                     and in person at the Department of Transportation's Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New Jersey Ave. SE, W12-140, Washington, DC 20590.
