[Docket Number FRA-2006-26300]
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 February 22, 2013, the Mid-Continent Railway Historical Society,
Inc. (MCRY) has petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)
for an extension of a waiver of compliance from certain provisions of
the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR part 223,
Safety Glazing Standards--Locomotives, Passenger Cars and Cabooses, and
49 CFR part 231, Railroad Safety Appliance Standards. FRA assigned the
petition Docket Number FRA-2006-26300.
Specifically, MCRY has petitioned FRA to grant an extension of
relief from the requirements of 49 CFR 223.9(a) and 49 CFR
231.30(c)(ii). In addition, MCRY requests the continuation of a maximum
operating speed of 15 mph for operations on MCRY's property. MCRY seeks
an extension of the requested
[[Page 28285]]
relief for Diesel Locomotive MCRY 1256 (MCRY 1256).
On November 3, 2008, FRA granted MCRY a waiver of compliance from
the safety glazing provisions of 49 CFR 223.9(a) and from the
requirements of 49 CFR 231.30(c)(ii) for MCRY 1256. FRA also approved a
maximum operating speed of 15 mph for the operation of MCRY 1256 on
MCRY's property. MCRY states that since FRA granted the waiver, it has
complied with all of the conditions of the waiver and that there have
been no accidents or incidents involving MCRY 1256.
