Petition for Waiver of Compliance
In accordance with part 211 of Title
49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR),
this document provides the public
notice that by a document dated August
12, 2015, Metro-North Railroad (MNCW)
has petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) for a waiver of
compliance from certain provisions of
the Federal railroad safety regulations
contained at 49 CFR part 213. FRA
assigned the petition Docket Number
FRA–2015–0081.
MNCW requests relief from 49 CFR
213.233(c), which specifies the required
track inspection frequency. MNCW’s
request concerns the twice-weekly
inspection requirement that applies to
MNCW tracks. The regulation specifies
that if a track carries passenger trains, it
must be inspected twice weekly. FRA
has interpreted that 1 week is defined as
a period of 7 days, Sunday through
Saturday. MNCW states that it is more
cost effective for its operations to satisfy
the twice-weekly inspection
requirement using a calendar week
beginning on Monday, and requests a
waiver to conduct track inspections on
this schedule.

Petition for Waiver of Compliance
In accordance with part 211 of Title
49 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), this document provides the
public notice that by a document dated
August 19, 2015, the Delaware
Lackawanna Railroad Company (DLR)
has petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) for a waiver of
compliance from certain provisions of
the Federal railroad safety regulations
contained at 49 CFR 223.11—–
Requirements for existing locomotives.
FRA assigned the petition Docket
Number FRA–2015–0093.
DLR has petitioned FRA to grant a
waiver of compliance from 49 CFR part
223–Safety Glazing Standards, for a 100
ton, 600 horsepower diesel-electric
locomotive, Number DL&W 426. This
locomotive was built in 1934 by
Electromotive Corporation for DLR for
use in yard switching. DLR is a Class III
railroad. DL&W 426 would be used in
yard and terminal switching service at
the former Delaware Lackawanna and
Western yards in Scranton, PA, and
occasional historic passenger moves
within Steamtown National Historic
Site. The locomotive would operate at
speeds not exceeding 15 mph. The
locomotive is currently equipped with
unblemished laminate safety glass and
is serviced and maintained by DLR, in
Scranton, PA. The waiver is being
sought because of the limited operation
of the locomotive and the low risk of
