[Docket Number FRA–2018–0033]
Petition for Waiver of Compliance
Under part 211 of title 49 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice
that on July 25, 2023, the Michigan State
Trust for Railway Preservation, Inc.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:03 Oct 13, 2023
Jkt 262001
(MSTRP), doing business as The Steam
Railroading Institute, petitioned the
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)
for an extension of a waiver of
compliance from certain provisions of
the Federal railroad safety regulations
contained at 49 CFR part 240
(Qualification and Certification of
Locomotive Engineers). The relevant
Docket Number is FRA–2018–0033.
Specifically, MSTRP requests to
extend its relief from § 240.201(d),
which requires that only certified
persons operate locomotives and trains.
The current relief allows noncertified
persons to operate a locomotive as part
of a ‘‘Hands on the Throttle’’ program
on Great Lakes Central Railroad owned
and operated tracks. In support of its
petition, MSTRP notes that the relief
would only apply to persons
participating in the program, and that
participants would have a valid driver’s
license and be under the direct
supervision of a certified and qualified
locomotive engineer. Further, all
movements would take place during
daylight hours and at restricted speed.
MSTRP states that the program
generates interest in steam locomotive
technology to preserve knowledge and
heritage of railroading into the future.
A copy of the petition, as well as any
written communications concerning the
petition, is available for review online at
