FRA assigned the request Docket Number FRA–2010–0174. PATH operates a fleet of 25 flat cars in consist with revenue cars utilized as locomotives in ‘‘work’’ trains, where the friction brakes operate in conjunction with the RT2 system of straight air brake employed on PATH cars. The single car air brake test described in Association of American Railroads (AAR) S–486 (incorporated by reference in 49 CFR 232.305) is intended for freight cars with automatic brake systems that are significantly different than the RT2 system utilized by PATH. As such, PATH believes that a brake system inspection and testing procedure similar to that performed on PATH MU locomotives is required since a conventional AAR S–486 single car air brake test cannot be performed on these flat cars. PATH requests a modification to the single car air brake test procedure required in 49 CFR 232.305 by the adoption of ‘‘Procedure for the Inspection/Testing of PATH Flat Cars’’ (05/04/11 revision), Docket Number FRA–2010–0174–0004.1; and ‘‘Procedure for the Inspection/Testing of PATH Flat Cars Addendum Brake Rigging Inspection and Slack Adjustment’’ (05/04/11), Docket Number FRA–2010–0174–0005.1.
