BILLING CODE 4710–08–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2012–0072] 

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 August 

28, 2012, Capital Passenger Car, Inc. 

(CPC) of Orrville, OH, 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–2012–0072. 

CPC has petitioned for a permanent 

waiver of compliance for a 28-seat 

parlour car (RPCX 3850) named ‘‘C&B 

Marshall.’’ This car was built by 

Pullman in 1947, and since 1989 has 

operated on lease for passenger 

excursions that are limited to regional 

railroads, namely Buffalo and Pittsburgh 

Railroad, Columbia and Ohio River 

Railroad, Ohio Central Railroad 

(Genesee and Wyoming), and Wheeling 

and Lake Erie Railway. The car typically 

operates between 1,000 and 2,000 miles 

per year on about six weekends at 

speeds of 45 mph or less, mostly on 

single-track rail lines through areas 

largely rural in nature. When not being 

used, this car is stored at the Orrville 

Railroad Heritage Society, Inc.’s Pine 

Street Yard in Orrville, OH, on the 

Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway. 

There are two end windows in the Bend vestibule, one right and one left. 

Both the right side and left side of the 

car contain eight windows each. No 

Type I or Type II FRA-certified glazing 

is currently installed in the car. 

However, all side windows are 1⁄4-inch 

panes of Duplate ASI PPG Safety Glass. 

Some of these side windows are 

equipped with double panes. Also, each 

end window is 1⁄4-inch pane of Duplate 

ASI PPG Safety Glass. CPC states that 

barring one incident of vandalism in the 

spring of 2010 when the car was in 

storage—resulting in several cracked 

windows—there has been no accident or 

injury attributed to window glazing 

since this car came under its present 

ownership in 1988. CPC states that 

besides the prohibitive cost 

(approximately $30,000) involved in 

retrofitting the car with FRA-certified 

glazing, side-lining the car for this 

purpose will be catastrophic because 

most of its revenue comes from the 

operation of this car on steam and diesel 

powered excursions. Therefore, CPC is 

requesting this relief. 

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 U.S. Department of Transportation’s 

(DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200 

New Jersey Avenue SE., W12–140, 

Washington, DC 20590. The Docket 

Operations Facility is open from 9 a.m. 

to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, 

except Federal Holidays. 

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 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with
