Federal Railroad Administration
[Docket Number FRA-2013-0131]
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 November 19, 2013, Conway Scenic Railroad (CSRX) 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 230, Steam Locomotive Inspection and Maintenance
Standards. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2013-0131. CSRX
owns and operates No. 7470, a 0-6-0-type steam locomotive built in 1921
by and for the Grand Trunk Railway. No. 7470 is operated for tourist
trains on CSRX.
CSRX requests relief from 49 CFR 230.17, One thousand four hundred
seventy-two (1472) service day inspection. CSRX is petitioning for a
delay of the 1,472 service-day inspection (SDI), due on July 7, 2014,
until January 7, 2015. The delay of the SDI would allow No. 7470 to
complete the 2014 CSRX operating season, which ends on January 3, 2015.
To date, No. 7470 has used 499 service days with 973 remaining for the
2014 season. The typical annual use for No. 7470 is 31 service days per
year.
A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at
