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
the party seeking relief, the regulatory
provisions involved, the nature of the
relief being requested, and the
petitioner’s arguments in favor of relief.
Whitewater Valley Railroad
Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA–
2010–0148
The Whitewater Valley Railroad
(WVRR) seeks a waiver of compliance
from certain provisions of the Railroad
Freight Car Safety Standards, i.e.
§§ 215.303 and 215.305, which require
stenciling of restricted cars; as well as
that of the Reflectorization of Rail
Freight Rolling Stock, i.e. §§ 224.3 and
224.5, which require applying reflectors
on freight cars and locomotives.
WVRR owns 13 freight cars that are
older than 50 years from their date of
original construction, and are restricted
by the provision of 49 CFR 215.203(a).
WVRR is concurrently seeking special
approval to continue to use these cars
under proceeding according to 49 CFR
215.203(b).
To support its petition to seek relief
from the stenciling and reflectorization
requirements, WVRR states that it is a
501(c)(3) non-profit organization. It is an
operating railroad museum dedicated to
the operation of a historic branch line
railroad, to the restoration of railroad
equipment, and to the conduct of
educational railroad programs. The
railroad owns and operates 19 miles of
track between Metamora and
Connersville, Indiana. These tracks are
not part of the general railway system.
Operating speeds on the line would
never be authorized at more than 25
miles per hour.
WVRR states that to support its
mission, it operates antiquated freight
and passenger cars built prior to 1945,
as well as a group of freight cars and
locomotives built after 1945, in public
excursion service as operating historic
artifacts. On rare occasions, locomotives
and freight cars (including flat, box and
hopper cars) are used to demonstrate
typical freight trains of the 1940s–60s.
These operations are sometimes
chartered programs designed for
photographers, film production, and for
