Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2015–0126] 

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 

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

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 

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.
