Federal Railroad Administration Docket Number FRA20100100

Petition for Waiver of Compliance Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations CFR, this document provides the public notice that on December 10, 2020, Brownsville & Rio Grande International Railroad BRG petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration FRA for a modification to its waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR parts 232, Brake System Safety Standards for Freight and Other Non-Passenger Trains and Equipment; End-Of-Train Devices, and 215, Railroad Freight Car Safety Standards. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA20100100.
Specifically, BRG seeks a modification to its waiver of compliance with certain requirements of 49 CFR
part 215, and 49 CFR 232.205, Class I
Brake TestInitial Terminal Inspection.
Presently, BRGs relief permits trains transferred by Union Pacific Railroad Company UP from the US/Mexico border interchange with the Kansas City Southern de Mexico Railway KCSM at Brownsville, Texas, to move from BRGs interchange point with UP at milepost MP 4.48 to the BRG inspection point between MPs 8.0 and 9.0, where required FRA inspections are performed see Docket Number FRA200728340.
Occasionally, trains destined for interchange to BRG are delayed at UPs Olmito Yard by additional Federal agency inspection activities. BRG is permitted to pick up trains at Olmito Yard in lieu of the interchange point at MP 4.48 on those occasions and perform the required FRA inspections between MPs 8.0 and 9.0 in accordance with its present relief.
In its petition, BRG requests that the track covered under this waiver be extended an additional three miles through the end of the Palo Alto Subdivision, which terminates at MP
0.0, and onto BRGs South Lead, where the required inspections will be completed between MPs 2.0 and 3.0, as were previously completed between MPs 8.0 and 9.0 on the Palo Alto Subdivision. BRG states that it will

adhere to the same conditions outlined in FRAs decision letter dated December 18, 2017, at the proposed new inspection point.
In support of its petition, BRG states this waiver would help expedite any delays caused by required port of entry inspections and other unforeseen delays. The modification would provide capacity to process two inbound trains back-to-back, allowing for more efficient use of bridge windows. Trains from the KCSM Matamoros Yard to the Port of Brownsville Port travel less than 25
miles. BRG further states that its request will facilitate international trade between the United States and Mexico by allowing inbound trains to go directly to the Port. The Port is a more secure location to inspect the incoming trains, and operational efficiencies are gained by moving the cars directly into the serving yard. BRG states that the change will support the ongoing extensive growth in the Rio Grande Valley.
