notice is hereby given that the Federal
Railroad Administration (FRA) received
a request for a waiver of compliance
with certain requirements of its safety

standards. The individual petition is
described below, including the party
seeking relief, the regulatory provisions
involved, the nature of the relief being
requested, and the petitioner’s
arguments in favour of relief.
Illinois Railway Museum
[Docket Number FRA–2005–21271]
The Illinois Railway Museum (IRM), a
standard gage railroad and electric
traction museum, seeks a waiver of
compliance from the requirements of
title 49 Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) 230.17 One thousand four
hundred seventy-two (1472) service day
inspection for their locomotive number
(IRM) 428. Locomotive number 428, is
a former Union Pacific steam
locomotive, built by the Baldwin
Locomotive Works in 1901 (Boiler
Number 18303) with a wheel
arrangement of 2–8–0.
The IRM is not engaged in general
railroad transportation, and provides
only railroad/electric railway tourist
excursions on a limited schedule. The
IRM currently consists of approximately
26 acres of display area, with 1.5 miles
of track under cover for display
purposes. In addition, they operate a
segment of track on the former Elgin &
Belvidere electric railway right-of-way,
between Kishwaukee Grove and East
Union, Illinois, in McHenry County.
This waiver specifically requests
relief from the requirements of 49 CFR
230.17(a) General that states: ‘‘In the
case of a new locomotive or a
locomotive being brought out of
retirement, the initial 15 year period
shall begin on the day that the
locomotive is placed in service or 365
days after the first flue tube is installed
in the locomotive, which ever comes
first.’’ The IRM initiated restoration of
the number 428 in January 1984,
underwent a successful interior boiler
inspection by FRA in October 1999, and
passed a hydrostatic test in early 2000.
The locomotive has been stored dry, and
indoors since the initiation of the
restoration project. Relief is sought by
IRM to begin the 1,472 service days, and
the corresponding 15 year period on the
day of the first steam test, not the day
the first tube was installed, as they
installed the tubes in October 1999, and
FRA published the revised 49 CFR part
230 Inspection and Maintenance
Standards for Steam Locomotives on
November 17, 1999.
Interested parties are invited to
participate in these proceedings by
submitting written views, data, or
comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in
connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a
