material compliant with the
requirements of 49 CFR 223.11. Steam
locomotive Number JS8419 was built in
China by Datong Locomotive Works in
Shanxi, China, in October 1988,
purchased new by the BSV in 1989, and
delivered with automotive-type safety
glazing. It has been in regular summer
weekend service each year since 1990,
except for in 1993 and 2002.
By letter dated February 12, 2007,
BSV requested that Number JS8419 be
granted a waiver under the same
conditions as their four diesel electric
locomotives. They stated that
retrofitting JS8419 with compliant
glazing would be very costly, and a
serious financial burden on the
museum.
