Railtown 1897 State Historic Park [Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA–2010– 0092] The Railtown 1897 State Historic Park (Railtown), an excursion train operating in Jamestown, California, seeks a waiver of compliance from the Safety Glazing Standards of 49 CFR 223.11 Requirements for existing locomotives. Specifically, Railtown has petitioned FRA for a waiver for four diesel locomotives: Former U.S. Navy locomotives 613 and 612, built by Alco in 1953; former U.S. Army locomotive 1265, built by Baldwin/Whitcomb in 1952; and former U.S. Army locomotive 1638, built by General Electric in 1952. Railtown operates weekends only from April through March on three miles of track in a lightly settled area with a fifteen mph speed restriction. The locomotives are primarily used in yard switching service and on rare occasions provide back-up service for Railtown’s historic steam locomotives. Additionally, Railtown states the combined annual operation of their diesel locomotives is less than 200 hours per year, and that in 26 years of operation as a state historic park, they have not sustained any incidents of breakage on their locomotives. Railtown estimates glazing costs to be in excess of $20,000.00, and believes it is not economically justified to replace the glass in light of the ages of the locomotives, low risk of vandalism and the extremely low hours of operation.
