[Docket Number FRA-2005-23489]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    In accordance with part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations 
(CFR), this document provides the public notice that by a document 
dated January 24, 2017, Gettysburg & Northern Railroad Company (GNRR) 
has petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for a waiver 
of compliance from certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety 
regulations contained at 49 CFR 223.11, Requirements for existing 
locomotives. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number 2005-23489.
    GNRR is seeking this waiver of compliance due to noncompliant 
glazing on two locomotives, numbered PREX 401 and PREX 402. GNRR is 
located in Gettysburg, PA, and operates on approximately 25.5 miles of 
track at speeds not exceeding 15 mph. The surrounding area is 
predominantly rural and these locomotives are used primarily in 
passenger service during the summer excursion season. Occasionally, 
they are also used as backup power units in freight service.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications 
concerning the petition, is available for review online at 
www.regulations.gov and in person at the U.S. Department of 
Transportation's (DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New Jersey

Facility is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except
