DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Railroad Administration
[Docket Number FRA–2006–25764]
Petition for Waiver of Compliance
Under part 211 of Title 49 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), this provides
the public notice that by a letter dated
December 21, 2017, Union Pacific
Railroad Company (UP) petitioned the
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)
for an extension of its waiver of
compliance from certain provisions of
the Federal railroad safety regulations
contained at 49 CFR 232. FRA assigned
the petition Docket Number FRA–2006–
25764.
UP originally received conditional
relief in 2007 from 49 CFR 232.205,
Class I brake test-initial terminal
inspection, and 49 CFR 215 Freight car
safety standards, for freight cars
received in interchange at the United
States/Mexico border crossing in
Calexico, California, to permit required
inspections to be conducted in El
Centro, California, 10.1 miles north of
Calexico. The original justification for
the relief, as stated by UP, included:
Inadequate capacity at the yard in
Calexico, due to increased rail traffic
volume;
• Inability to adjust its infrastructure
due to Calexico yard’s location in the
middle of the city (causing the yard to
be effectively ‘‘boxed in’’ by existing
development and the locations of
highway crossings);
• The need to avoid ‘‘bottleneck’’
delays at Calexico, affecting commerce
on both sides of the border; and
• The elimination of choked flow of
automobile traffic in Calexico, when
trains stop or go very slowly across
street crossings for inspections.
UP’s relief was extended for an
additional five years in a decision letter
dated March 26, 2013. In support of its
present petition to extend its relief, UP
states it has been operating under the
requirements set forth in the waiver for
the past ten years and no adverse effect
on the safety of operations has occurred.

UP originally received conditional relief in 2007 from 49 CFR

Freight car safety standards, for freight cars received in interchange
at the United States/Mexico border crossing in Calexico, California, to

Inability to adjust its infrastructure due to Calexico
yard's location in the middle of the city (causing the yard to be
