[Docket Number FRA-2012-0067]
Petition for Extension of Waiver of Compliance
Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice that on November 30, 2022, the
Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board (JPBX), which owns and operates
Caltrain, 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 215
(Railroad Freight Car Safety
[[Page 4073]]
Standards). The relevant FRA Docket Number is FRA-2012-0067.
Specifically, JPBX requested to extend its special approval
pursuant to 49 CFR 215.203, Restricted cars, for 2 flat-straight deck
cars, JPBX 711 and JPBX 712, that are more than 50 years from the date
of original construction. JPBX also requests to extend its existing
relief from 49 CFR 215.303, Stenciling of restricted cars. JPBX seeks
to continue use of the cars to transport decorations during its annual
Holiday Train event. In support of its request, JPBX states that the
cars have been inspected and determined to be safe for continued
operation and they will not be interchanged.
