DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

Petition for Exemption or Waiver of

Compliance

In accordance with Title 49 CFR

Sections 211.9 and 211.41, notice is

hereby given that the Federal Railroad

Administration (FRA) has received

requests for exemptions from or waivers

of compliance with requirements of its

safety standards. The individual

petitions are described below, including

the party seeking relief, the regulatory

provisions involved, and the nature of

the relief being requested.

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.

All communications concerning these

proceedings should identify the

appropriate docket number (e.g., Waiver

Petition Docket Number RSRM–94–1)

and must be submitted in triplicate to

the Docket Clerk, Office of Chief

Counsel, FRA, Nassif Building, 400

Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, D.C.

20590. Communications received within

45 days of the date of publication of this

notice will be considered by FRA before

final action is taken. Comments received

after that date will be considered as far

as practicable. All written

communications concerning these

proceedings are available for

examination during regular business

hours (9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.) in Room

8201, Nassif Building, 400 Seventh

The individual petitions seeking an

exemption or waiver of compliance are

as follows:

Birmingham Southern Railroad

Company (BS)

(Waiver Petition Docket Number

RSRM–94–1)

The BS has petitioned for relief from

the Rear End Marking Device

regulations, Title 49 CFR Part 221. The

railroad states that the use of a rear end

marking device is unnecessary on their

railroad due to their method of

operation on main tracks, which

requires an absolute block behind all

trains operated, and granting the

exemption is in the public interest and

will not adversely affect safety. The BS

is a Class 3 switching and terminal

railroad headquartered in Fairfield

(Birmingham), Alabama. It operates in

Birmingham, Alabama, and surrounding

area, over about 84 track miles. A

particular line segment known as the

Port Birmingham Main, a distance of

approximately 15 miles, is designated as

a main track.

Northern Nevada Railroad Corporation

(NN)

(Waiver Petition Docket Number

RSGM–95–5)

The NN seeks a permanent waiver of

compliance with certain provisions of

the Safety Glazing Standards, Title 49

CFR Part 223 for two locomotives. The

70-ton switcher locomotives were built

by General Electric Company in 1950

and 1952 and were recently acquired

from the Santa Maria Valley Railroad

Company. The NN operates 129 miles of

track between Shafter, its interchange

with Union Pacific Railroad Company

(UP), and Keystone, Nevada. In 1995 the

line will be extended to Reiptown,

Nevada, a distance of approximately 3

miles, to a new concentrator mill site of

Magna Copper. Also in 1995, NN

expects to complete a rail/rail crossing

at Shafter with the UP and reactivate 18

miles of isolated track to the Southern

Pacific Transportation Company

interchange at Cobre, Nevada. This will

give NN a total of 150 track miles. The

area of operation is mostly flat and is

extremely rural in nature with a few

small towns. The railroad states that

there is no record of vandalism.

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

In accordance with Title 49 CFR

Sections 211.9 and 211.41, notice is

hereby given that the Federal Railroad

Administration (FRA) has received from

Procor Limited a request for a waiver of

compliance with certain requirements of

Federal regulations. The petition is

described below, including the

regulatory provisions involved, the

nature of the relief being requested and

the petitioner’s arguments in favor of

relief.

Procor Limited

(Waiver Petition, Docket Number SA–

95–1)

Procor Limited seeks a waiver of

compliance from certain sections of

Title 49 CFR Part 231, Railroad Safety

Appliance Standards. Procor Limited is

requesting a permanent waiver of the

provisions of Title 49 CFR Part 231

which requires that handholds be

securely fastened with * * * bolts with

nuts outside (when possible) and

riveted over, or with not less than 1⁄2-

inch rivets.

Procor Limited built 125 covered

hopper cars in 1991 and 58 more

covered hopper cars in 1995 for a total

of 183 cars that have the side and end

handholds secured with the nuts of the

bolts to the inside. The bolted

connections of the handholds of all 183

cars were applied and the bolts chisel

checked under a controlled condition.

Car series: UNPX 127000 through

127124, 125 cars; UNPX 128000 through

128029, 30 cars; UNPX 128050 through

128077, 28 cars, Procor Limited requests

to continue the use of these subject cars

throughout the United States.

Title 49 CFR 231.27(e)(4) requires that

side handholds be securely fastened

with not less than 1⁄2-inch bolts with

nuts outside (when possible) and

riveted over, or with not less than 1⁄2-

inch rivets. Several other sections in

Part 231 address the application of

safety appliances (sill steps, ladder

treads, etc.) which requires that they be

securely fastened with not less than 1⁄2-

inch bolts with nuts outside (when

possible) and riveted over, or with not

less than 1⁄2-inch rivets.

Procor Limited states the estimated

cost to remove and replace 66 fasteners

on each car is $685.00. Adding out of

service time, the anticipated total cost

impact of this modification is $215,000.

The cost of changing the nuts from the

inside to the outside will not enhance

the safe operation of these cars.

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.

All communications concerning these

proceedings should identify the

appropriate docket number (e.g., Waiver

Petition Docket Number SA–95–1) and

must be submitted in triplicate to the

Docket Clerk, Office of Chief Counsel,

FRA, Nassif Building, 400 Seventh

Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590.

days of the date of publication of this

notice will be considered by FRA before

final action is taken. Comments received

after that date will be considered as far

as practicable. All written

Petition for Waivers of Compliance

In accordance with Title 49 CFR

Sections 211.9 and 211.41, notice is

hereby given that the Federal Railroad

Administration (FRA) has received from

the MK Rail Corporation (MKRC) and

CSX Transportation, Incorporated

(CSXT), a request for waiver of

compliance with certain requirements of

the Federal rail safety regulations. The

petition is described below, including

the regulatory provisions involved, the

nature of the relief being requested, and

the petitioner’s arguments in favor of

relief.

MK Rail Corporation (MKRC)

CSX Transportation, Incorporated

(CSXT)

(FRA Waiver Petition Docket Numbers

PB–95–1—SA–95–2)

The MKRC and CSXT seek a waiver

of compliance from certain regulatory

provisions and from underlying Safety

Appliance Act requirements in

connection with a test of a train known

as the Iron Highway. Petitioners seek a

waiver of Title 49 CFR 231.6, (Railroad

Safety Appliance Standards), Title 49

CFR 232.2, Title 49 CFR 232.13

(Railroad Power Brakes and Drawbars),

and Appendix B, Definition Section 13

(Emergency brake-cylinder pressure)

and related emergency requirements

provisions. Petitioners also seek,

pursuant to 45 U.S.C. 20306, exemption

from the requirements of portions of 45

U.S.C. 20302(a)(1), (a)(2) and (a)(3)

which are the statutory bases for the

subject requirements.

The interim version of the Iron

Highway train will consist of two

conventional type locomotives with

modified cab controls, two adapter

platforms, one split-ramp platform and

40 load-carrying ramp platforms. The

Iron Highway train, which functions as

one freight car, is equipped with

articulated joints and a continuous

deck, permitting highway trailers to

bridge the joints with no length

restrictions as it is virtually slack free.

According to the petitioners, it will

reduce weight and train preparation

time and will eliminate the loss, damage

and delay inherent during current,

conventional switching activity.

Operating costs are projected to be
