In September 2004, the FRA Railroad
Safety Board granted an extension of

HARTLine is now notifying the FRA of

Based on the foregoing and with some
modifications, HARTLine is seeking to
renew its existing waiver of compliance

New Jersey Transit
[Docket Number FRA–2004–18577]
New Jersey Transit (NJ Transit) seeks
a modification to its waiver granted
September 29, 2004. NJ Transit was
granted a waiver of compliance from the
provisions of the Federal Track Safety
Standards, 49 CFR 213.345, subpart G,
regarding use of instrumented wheelset
tests (IWS) for vehicle qualification
testing of its new COMET V coach
equipment. In lieu of the IWS tests, NJ
Transit demonstrated similarity with inservice COMET IV coach equipment
through testing with accelerometers.
The testing verified that the design and
performance of each type of equipment
was substantially the same and NJ
Transit was granted a waiver allowing
its COMET V coach equipment to
operate at maximum speed of 100 mph
and three inches of cant deficiency on
AMTRAK’s NEC between Newark, NJ
and Philadelphia, PA.
NJ Transit is asking the Federal
Railroad Administration to modify the
language of the waiver to extend the
operating limits of this equipment to
New York City, NY, in order to
eliminate operational issues and the
need to list equipment on the Northeast
Corridor (NEC) timetable with different
speeds for different locations. NJ Transit
seeks further modification so that the
original waiver will also apply to
identical Metro North Railroad (MNCW)
COMET V coach equipment (NJ Transit
operates MNCW’s Port Jervis, NY Line
from Port Jervis, NY to Hoboken, NJ)
that is used interchangeably by NJ
Transit in NEC trainsets between
Newark, NJ and Philadelphia, PA.
