Title: ●Historic, Tourist, and Scenic Railroad Amendments | |
Abstract:
This rulemaking would modify Federal regulations to incorporate several waivers and interpretations applicable to tourist, historic, and scenic railroad operated equipment. By eliminating the need for waivers, the rulemaking would eliminate the current cost of preparing and submitting waiver requests and likewise eliminate uncertainty whether the waiver requests will be approved or extended, while maintaining appropriate safety. This rulemaking would also clarify steam locomotive reporting requirements and require appropriate safety measures better tailored to small operations. These modifications would provide regulatory relief and certainty to small railroads that operate at speeds limited to 30 mph and do not interchange certain equipment. |
