(Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA–
1999–6069)
The Buffalo Southern Railroad, Inc.
(BSOR), seeks a waiver extension for
FRA–1999–6069, which grants relief
from 49 CFR part 223.11 of the Safety
Glazing Standards for locomotives:
BSOR 5010, 93, 100 and 105.
The FRA’s field investigation reveals
the locomotives in question are
equipped with safety plate glass. Some
of the glazing is marked and some is
unmarked. Generally, all the
locomotives are in good condition.
The BSOR is a short line freight
carrier which travels over 30 miles
through rural countryside and several
small communities. There are still no
police records of damage to the
locomotives or any reports of employee
injuries to any railroad employee.
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
hearing. If any interested party desires
an opportunity for oral comment, they
should notify FRA, in writing, before
the end of the comment period and
specify the basis for their request.
All communications concerning these
proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number (e.g., Waiver
Petition Docket Number 1999–6069) and
