DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

[Docket Number FRA–1999–6135]
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 from New Jersey
Transit (NJT). NJT seeks a modification
to the original terms and conditions of
its waiver of compliance that was
granted in 1999. As part of NJT’s
construction of a future Pennsauken
transfer station (allowing transfers
between Atlantic City commuter trains
and the River Line), NJT is lengthening
the Pennsauken siding at Control Point
(CP) 55 to now include Minson siding;
incorporating trackwork improvements
and changes to the signal and train
control (S&TC) system. NJT submits that
this request is consistent with the
waiver process for shared use. (See
Statement of Agency Policy Concerning
Jurisdiction Over the Safety of Railroad
Passenger Operations and Waivers
Related to Shared Use of the Tracks of
the General Railroad System by Light
Rail and Conventional Equipment, 65

Statement of Agency Policy Concerning
Shared Use of the Tracks of the General
Railroad System by Conventional
Railroads and Light Rail Transit
Systems, 65 FR 42626 (July 10, 2000).)
Specifically, in April 2007, FRA
approved NJT’s S&TC improvements
between CP45 and CP70 (which
includes CP Ross, Minson siding, and
Pennsauken siding) along its River Line
