Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 158 / Tuesday, August 16, 2011 / Notices
Requirements for existing passenger
cars. Specifically, DRDM has petitioned
for one lightweight passenger car built
in 1949 for Canadian National Railway
(now Coach RPCX 422). DRDM operates
this car on its Polar Express, which is
a roundtrip of 40 miles on track owned
by Genesee & Wyoming Railroad. This
car was purchased by DRDM in 2008
from the Locomotive and Tower
Preservation Fund, LTD. There have
been no accidents and/or incidents
attributed directly or indirectly to
window glazing failures in this
equipment while under current
ownership. There has been one act of
vandalism (with one cracked window;
no resultant injuries) that occurred in
the fall of 2009. The maximum
authorized speed for this train is 45
mph, mostly rural in nature. The car
operates in excursion service during two
weekends in December, with two
roundtrips on Fridays and four on
Saturdays and Sundays (20 Polar
Express trips; annual mileage is
approximately 800).
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.

proceedings should identify the
