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. 

South Carolina Railroad Museum, Inc. 

[Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA–2010– 

0095] 

The South Carolina Railroad Museum 

(SCRM) is a non-profit (501)(c)(3) 

railroad museum located near 

Winnsboro, South Carolina, which 

operates excursion passenger trains 

primarily on certain weekends and on 

special charters as part of its museum 

activity. SCRM seeks a waiver from 

compliance with 49 CFR 240.201(d), 

which provides that only certified 

persons may operate trains or 

locomotives. The waiver would affect 

only persons who participate in the 

‘‘engineer for a day’’ program, which 

would allow non-certified persons to 

operate a diesel electric locomotive as 

the ‘‘engineer.’’ Various restrictions 

would be placed on these operations. 

The waiver would cover operations 

on 5,280 feet of main line track between 

Milepost (MP) 4 and MP 5 that would 

be placed under absolute block control 

(section of track can only be occupied 

by one train at a time) during these 

operations. This section of track does 

not have any public highway-rail grade 

crossings on it, and is located largely 

within the confines of Rion Quarry, 

which is no longer in operation. 

SCRM has an annual budget of 

approximately $180,000.00. SCRM has 

no employees. All excursion trains are 

staffed by volunteers who have been 

through testing and certification for 

their respective train crew duties. The 

‘‘engineer for a day’’ program would 

allow SCRM to supplement its 

education programs and generate 

needed additional income for 

preservation and for providing a 

railroad experience to persons visiting 

the museum. 

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 FRA–2010– 

0095) and may be submitted by any of 

the following methods: 

• Web site: http://

taken. Comments received after that 

date will be considered as far as 

practicable. All written communications 

concerning these proceedings are
