[Docket Number FRA-2019-0013]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    Under part 211 of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations 
(CFR), this document provides the public notice that by a document 
dated January 25, 2019, the Logansport and Eel River Railroad Short 
Line, Inc. (LERR) 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 234. FRA assigned 
the petition Docket Number FRA-2019-0013.
    Specifically, LERR seeks relief from the Emergency Notification 
System regulations in 49 CFR part 234, subpart E, Requirements for 
Emergency Notification for Telephonic Reporting of Unsafe Condition at 
Highway-Rail and Pathway Grade Crossings. LERR explains that the 
trackage involved is currently out of service and that they are in the 
process of selling the trackage to the Indiana Transportation Museum.

concerning the petition, is available for review online at
