Middletown & Hummelstown Railroad
wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with NOTICES_PART 1
[Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA–2010–
0105]
The Middletown & Hummelstown
Railroad (MIDH) has petitioned FRA for
a waiver of compliance with the
requirements of 49 CFR 215.203(a)(1)
‘‘Restricted Cars’’ (more than 50 years
old) for 2 cars, RPCX 1987 and
CNJ91537. Both of these cars are
cabooses built in 1956, and 1942,
respectively. MIDH is also requesting a
waiver of compliance with 49 CFR
223.13, ‘‘Glazing requirements for
existing cabooses’’ because of the high
costs of FRA Type I and Type II Glazing,
as opposed to the very low incidences
of vandalism. MIDH operates its own
rail line between Middletown and
Hummelstown, Pennsylvania, a distance
of approximately 7 miles. The
maximum passenger train speed is 15
mph, and these cabooses will be used
on this trackage.

Federal Railroad Administration
Petition for Waiver of Compliance
In accordance with part 211 of title 49
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR),
notice is hereby given that the Federal
Railroad Administration (FRA) has
received a request for a waiver of
compliance from certain requirements
of its safety standards. The individual
petition is described below, including

provisions involved, the nature of the
relief being requested, and the
petitioner’s arguments in favor of relief.
Southeastern Pennsylvania
Transportation Authority
[Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA–2010–
0113]
The Southeastern Pennsylvania
Transportation Authority (SEPTA) seeks
a waiver of compliance with the
Locomotive Safety Standards, 49 CFR
229.129(b)(2), which requires that the
sound level of horns of locomotives
manufactured before September 18,
2006, be tested before June 24, 2010.
SEPTA operates approximately 332
pieces of equipment (locomotives) with
train horns that were manufactured
before the September 18, 2006, date.
SEPTA states in their request that lack
of a site meeting the requirements of the
horn test regulation has caused SEPTA
to be unable to perform any of the
required horn tests. SEPTA has recently
realized that removal of trees at their
Frazier Facility will allow the horn
testing to be performed there. SEPTA
requests that the requirement to
complete testing of horns on
locomotives built prior to September 18,
2006, be extended 6 months, to
December 24, 2010.
