South Carolina Railroad Museum, Inc.
[Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA–2010–
0095]
The South Carolina Railroad Museum
(SCRM) is a non-profit (501)(c)(3)
railroad museum located near
Winnsboro, South Carolina, which
operates excursion passenger trains
primarily on certain weekends and on
special charters as part of its museum
activity. SCRM seeks a waiver from
compliance with 49 CFR 240.201(d),
which provides that only certified
persons may operate trains or
locomotives. The waiver would affect
only persons who participate in the
‘‘engineer for a day’’ program, which
would allow non-certified persons to
operate a diesel electric locomotive as
the ‘‘engineer.’’ Various restrictions
would be placed on these operations.
The waiver would cover operations
on 5,280 feet of main line track between
Milepost (MP) 4 and MP 5 that would
be placed under absolute block control
(section of track can only be occupied
by one train at a time) during these
operations. This section of track does
not have any public highway-rail grade
crossings on it, and is located largely
within the confines of Rion Quarry,
which is no longer in operation.
SCRM has an annual budget of
approximately $180,000.00. SCRM has
no employees. All excursion trains are
staffed by volunteers who have been
through testing and certification for
their respective train crew duties. The
‘‘engineer for a day’’ program would
allow SCRM to supplement its
education programs and generate
needed additional income for
preservation and for providing a
railroad experience to persons visiting
the museum.
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. If any interested party desires
an opportunity for oral comment, they
should notify FRA, in writing, before
the end of the comment period and
specify the basis for their request.
All communications concerning these
proceedings should identify the
