In accordance with part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this document provides the public notice that by a document dated February 27, 2015, Union Pacific Railroad (UP) 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 232, Brake System Safety Standards for Freight and Other Non-Passenger Trains and Equipment; End-of-Train Devices. Specifically, UP requests a waiver of compliance from the requirements of 49 CFR 232.205, Class I brake test–initial terminal inspection, to permit a train to be split en route using the same initial terminal inspection. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA–2015–
0126.

In its petition, UP states that it is launching trains with multiple locomotive consists within the train so that the train can be split at an appropriate point en route, creating two separate trains bound for different destinations. A combined train of this type undergoes a Class 1 air brake test at departure pursuant to 49 CFR 232.205. At a location less than 1,000 miles from the departure point, the combined train is cut at the distributed power units. No new locomotive units are added to the resulting second train. The second train is equipped with an end-of-train device or equivalent device, linked to what is now the lead locomotive in the consist. No cars are added to the second train. The cars on the second train were all part of the original train and have not been off air for more than 4 hours. These cars undergo a Class 3 air brake test pursuant to 49 CFR 232.211, Class III brake teststrainline continuity inspection, before continuing to their destination.

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.
