DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

Petition for Waiver of Compliance 

In accordance with part 211 of Title 

49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 

notice is hereby given that the Federal 

Railroad Administration (FRA) has 

received a request for a waiver of 

compliance from certain requirements 

of its safety standards. The individual 

petition is described below, including 

the party seeking relief, the regulatory 

provisions involved, the nature of the 

relief being requested, and the 

petitioner’s arguments in favor of relief. 

Beaver Lawrence Railway Historical 

Society 

[Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA–2010– 

0121] 

The Beaver Lawrence Railway 

Historical Society (Society) seeks a 

waiver of compliance from certain 

provisions of 49 CFR part 215, Railroad 

Freight Car Safety Standards, 

specifically 49 CFR 215.303 (Stenciling 

of restricted cars), which requires that 

restricted railroad freight cars shall be 

stenciled or marked in clearly legible 

letters with the letter ‘‘R’’ and a series of 

designated terms to completely indicate 

the basis for the restricted operation of 

the car. In addition, the Society seeks a 

waiver of compliance from certain 

provisions of 49 CFR part 223, Safety 

Glazing Standards, specifically 49 CFR 

223.13 (Requirements for existing 

cabooses), and all of 49 CFR part 224, 

Reflectorization of Rail Freight Rolling 

Stock. 

Specifically, the Society’s petition 

concerns four caboose cars: former PRR 

477974, built in 1942; former NKP 479, 

built in 1962; former PC 18216, built in 

1968; and former KKRR 604, built in 

1902, and rebuilt in 1986. Two of the 

Society’s caboose cars in the present 

petition are more than 50 years old, 

measured from the date of original 

construction, and these caboose cars are 

the subject of a parallel petition for 

special approval for continued 

operation under § 215.203(c). Therefore, 

in the first portion of its petition, the 

Society seeks a waiver of the 

requirement for stenciling found in 

§ 215.303, as the Society states that the 

stenciling would detract from both the 

aesthetic and historical nature of the 

vintage rail car equipment. Secondly, 

the Society petitions for relief from the 

glazing requirements of § 223.13 for 

caboose NKP 479 due to the financial 

hardship to the Society. Finally, the 

Society petitions for relief from all of 

the requirements of 49 CFR Part 224, as 

the railroad states that reflectorization 

would detract from both the aesthetic 

and historical nature of their vintage 

equipment. 

The Society states that the regulations 

for which relief are requested are 

inherently in conflict with the Society’s 

educational mission and not relevant to 

daylight only, non-interchange 

operation. The Society also states that 

the costs of compliance are 

disproportionate to the value of the 

equipment and detract from the 

historical accuracy of the 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

the end of the comment period and

0127] 

The Kansas City Southern Railroad 

Company (KCS) has petitioned for a 

waiver of compliance from the 

requirements of 49 CFR part 229, 

Railroad Locomotive Safety Standards, 

specifically § 229.49(a)(1), which states
