The Union Railroad Company (URC),
further herein identified as the railroad,
seeks approval for a waiver of
compliance with the requirements of
Reflectorization of Rail Freight Rolling

the requirements of 49 CFR part 224 for
154 slab rack cars, 238 coke rack hopper
cars and 283 gondola cars. The railroad
asserts that these cars travel exclusively
on their property at speeds of 20 mph

public road crossings over which the
cars traverse. The railroad has requested
that it be exempt from applying the
required retro-reflective material tape to
the sides of these freight cars.

comments. Each comment shall set forth

scheduling a public hearing in
connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a
hearing. If any interested Party desires
