Specifically, UP seeks relief to permit trains received at the U.S./Mexico border at Brownsville, TX, from the Kansas City Southern de Mexico Railway (KCSM), to move from the interchange point without performing the regulatory tests and inspections specified in 49 CFR Part 215 and 49 CFR section 232.205(a)(1), at that location. UP proposes moving the trains from the border at Milepost 0.7 on the Brownsville Subdivision to the UP yard at Olmito, TX, a distance of 7.9 miles, where the required FRA inspections will be performed. According to UP, the railroad has been operating in this fashion since February 2004 under the authority of a letter from the Director of FRA’s Office of Safety Assurance and Compliance. 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.
