          - [Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA-2010-0139]

                    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.                          ( print page 61563)    

## Fillmore & Western Railroad Co.

The Fillmore & Western Railroad Company (FWRY) seeks a waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the Railroad Freight Car Safety Standards, 49 CFR 215.303, which requires stenciling of restricted cars; as well as 49 CFR 224.3, which requires Reflectorization for freight cars. FWRY owns sixteen rail cars that are older than 50 years from their date of original construction, and are restricted by the provision of 49 CFR 215.203(a). FWRY is concurrently seeking special approval to continue to use these cars under proceeding according to 49 CFR 215.203(b).

To support its petition to seek relief from the stenciling and reflectorization requirements, FWRY states that the cars subject to this waiver are only used for tourist passengers, films, movies, props, still photos and the like. Although FWRY is considered a general system railroad, these subject cars are not interchanged in or with the general system, and are not freight revenue cars. FWRY asks for this waiver due to the fact that the movie and television companies, still photographers and the like want the cars to be authentic in their antiquated and historic look.
