Federal Railroad Administration Docket Number FRA20210024

tkelley on DSKBCP9HB2PROD with NOTICES

Petition for Waiver of Compliance Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations CFR, this document provides the public notice that on February 1, 2021, Sandersville Railroad Company SAN 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 237, Bridge Safety Standards. FRA
assigned the petition Docket Number FRA20210024.
Specifically, SAN seeks relief from the requirements of 49 CFR 237.31, Adoption of bridge management programs. SANs requested relief would include continuing the use of a scale inspector rather than a railroad bridge inspector for annual bridge inspections.
SAN owns and operates 35 miles of track and has one railroad bridge, which is a weigh-in-motion scale with a maximum authorized speed of 6 miles per hour. The scale provides accurate weights for customers using SANs sidings and for Norfolk Southern Corporation NS to ensure it does not exceed weight restrictions for its intended routes or railcar weight limits.
No railcars containing hazardous materials operate over the scale. SAN
claims the scale was designed to meet American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association, Association of American Railroads, and Cooper E80 design specifications.

SAN states that an NS railroad scale inspector inspects the scale annually and provides a report that details any structural deficiencies found that could jeopardize the safety of the scale. SAN
believes that its current method of inspection, which has been in place for twenty years, provides a more knowledgeable and less costly inspection than would be required by 49
CFR part 237.

Petition for Waiver of Compliance Under part 211 of title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations CFR, this document provides the public notice that on January 26, 2021, Norfolk Southern Corporation NS, 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 236, Rules, Standards, and Instructions Governing the Installation, Inspection, Maintenance, and Repair of Signal and Train Control Systems, Devices, and Appliances. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA2021
0020.
Specifically, NS requests relief from 49 CFR 236.566, Locomotive of each train operating in train stop, train control or cab signal territory; equipped.
The relief is requested for the Morrisville Line in the Keystone Division, from control point CP John milepost MP MV 4.7 to CP King MP
MV 30.1. NS seeks to operate positive train control PTC equipped locomotives, that are not equipped with cab signal system equipment, in cab signal system territory.
PTC-equipped locomotives are to be used in switching, transfer service, with or without cars, manifest trains, work trains, wreck trains, ballast cleaners to and from work, and engines and rail diesel cars moving to and from shops, with all movements made at timetable speed. If a PTC-equipped locomotive experiences an en route failure, then 49
CFR 236.1029, PTC system use and failures, would apply.
