Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2015-0093]


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

safety of continuing to operate with the current glazing.

concerning the petition, is available for review online at
