DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Railroad Administration
Petition for Waiver of Compliance
Pursuant to title 49 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) part 235 and 49
U.S.C. 20502(a), the following railroad
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:35 Aug 12, 2010
Jkt 220001
has petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) seeking approval
for the discontinuance or modification
of the signal system or relief from the
requirements of 49 CFR part 236, as
detailed below.
Docket Number FRA–1998–4821
Applicant: Mr. Timothy R. Luhm,
Canadian National, Manager S&C,
17641 South Ashland Avenue,
Homewood, Illinois 60430.
The Canadian National (CN) seeks an
extension for an additional 5 years of a
waiver on the former Duluth, Missabe
and Iron Range Railway Company
(DMIR) that permits the railroad to
utilize wheel counters to detect trains
over the spans of their steel deck
bridges. This waiver was granted by
FRA on January 29, 2001, was renewed
on April 25, 2006, and will currently
expire on April 25, 2011. In addition to
the extension, CN requests that the
allowable maximum authorized speed
over the subject bridges be increased
from 25 miles per hour (mph) to 40
mph.
The Applicant’s justification for the
request is that during the past 10 years
in which the wheel counters have been
in service on the DMIR, no incidents
have occurred at the location of the
wheel counter devices. Any failures in
the wheel counter devices have been
failsafe, resulting in train operations at
restricted speed. During the past 10
years, no broken rails occurred on the
bridges where such systems are
installed. As for the increase in
maximum authorized speed from 25 to
40 mph, CN states that train handling
will be improved and safety enhanced
due to less frequent speed transitions. In
addition, steel-deck bridges on the
DMIR in signaled territory that have
traditional signal system trap circuits
are not restricted in maximum
authorized speed.
Any interested party desiring to
protest the granting of an application
shall set forth specifically the grounds
upon which the protest is made, and
include a concise statement of the
interest of the party in the proceeding.
Additionally, one copy of the protest
shall be furnished to the applicant at the
address listed above.
FRA expects to be able to determine
these matters without an oral hearing.
However, if a specific request for an oral
hearing is accompanied by a showing
that the party is unable to adequately
present his or her position by written
statements, an application may be set
for public hearing.

proceeding should be identified by
