[Docket Number FRA-2010-0017]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this 
document provides the public notice that on January 15, 2021, the 
Burlington Junction Railway (BJRY) 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 
223, Safety Glazing Standards. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number 
FRA-2010-0017.
    Specifically, BJRY, a Class III railroad, seeks to renew its waiver 
of compliance from 49 CFR 223.11, Requirements for existing 
locomotives, for one 60-ton, 500 horsepower diesel-electric locomotive 
numbered BJRY 3238. This locomotive was built for the United States 
Army by Baldwin Locomotive Works in November 1953.
    BJRY operates this locomotive in terminal/switching service at 
Rochelle, Illinois, where BJRY interchanges with both Union Pacific 
Railroad Company and BNSF Railway Company. BJRY 3238 operates on other-
than-main track at speeds not exceeding 10 miles per hour. The 
locomotive is equipped with safety laminate glass (AS-1, AS-2) and is 
serviced and maintained by BJRY at Rochelle, Illinois.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications 
concerning the petition, is available for review online at 
www.regulations.gov.
