DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2001–10215] 

Petition for Waiver of Compliance 

In accordance with part 211 of Title 

49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 

this document provides the public 

notice that by a document dated 

November 1, 2012, the Finger Lakes 

Railway Corp. (FGLK) has petitioned the 

Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) 

to seek an extension of an existing 

waiver of compliance from certain 

provisions contained at 49 CFR Part 

223–Safety Glazing Standards– 

Locomotives, Passenger Cars and 

Cabooses for six cars. The car numbers 

of those six cars are: FGLK 7201, FGLK 

7202, FGLK 7601, FGLK7602, FGLK 

1642, and FGLK 1643. 

In support of an extension of the 

existing waiver, the FGLK petition states 

that the cars subject to this request are 

in all aspects still operating in the same 

service environment with no changes to 

speed or line segments. FGLK is 

following the conditions stipulated in 

the existing waiver. FGLK states that 

glass replacement continues to be an 

extremely high cost for an excursion 

operation and would jeopardize any 

chance of profitability for such 

operation for quite some time. 

Additionally, the frequency of 

excursion services offered by FGLK has 

decreased by nearly 75 percent in the 

past 2 years as freight movements have 

taken precedence. This would further 

hamper the ability to justify any costs 

associated with replacing noncompliant 

window glass with Part 223-compliant 

glazing. Since the last waiver request 

was granted by FRA, FGLK replaced 22 

pieces of noncompliant glass in 2009 at 

a cost of nearly $9,000.

written communications concerning the 

petition, is available for review online at

[Docket Number FRA–2002–11669] 

Petition for Waiver of Compliance 

In accordance with Part 211 of Title 

49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 

this document provides the public 

notice that by a document dated March 

26, 2012, the Southern Indiana Railway 

(SIND) of Sellersburg, IN, has petitioned 

the Federal Railroad Administration 

(FRA) for 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–2002– 

11669. 

SIND has petitioned for a permanent 

waiver of compliance for two 

locomotives, SIND 103 and SIND 104, 

from the requirements of 49 CFR 

223.11—Requirements for existing 

locomotives, which requires FRA Type 

I material in the forward and rearward 

end-facing glazing locations of the 

locomotive cab windshields as well as 

FRA Type II material in all side-facing 

windows of the locomotive cabs. Each 

locomotive is a Model S–3, built by the 

American Locomotive Company in 

1950. Both locomotives were rebuilt in 

1988. SIND states that it operates one 

train per day, over a 5-mile-long single 

track through mostly rural or lightly 

populated areas, to interchange with 

CSX Transportation and the Louisville 

and Indiana Railway for inbounds and 

outbounds. SIND further states that it 

has never had any employee injuries 

caused by broken locomotive glass. 

SIND describes the current glazing as 

single-pane safety plate glass in good 

condition. SIND is requesting this relief 

on account of the absence of history of 

any previous glazing-related accidents 

or injuries. 

A copy of the petition, as well as any 

written communications concerning the 

petition, is available for review online at
