Petition for Waiver of ComplianceFeb 26, 2013 (FIND, Inc. via COMTEX) -- In accordance with Part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this document provides the public notice that by a document dated January 31, 2013, the Chessie Logistics Company LLC (CLCY), a Class III railroad, has petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2013-0010. Specifically, CLCY has petitioned for a waiver of compliance from the requirements of: 49 CFR Sections 223.11, Requirements for existing locomotives; 231.30, Locomotives used in switching service; 229.47, Emergency brake valve; 229.115, Slip/slide alarms; 229.125, Headlights and auxiliary lights; 224.105, Sheeting dimensions and quantity; 224.106, Location of retroreflective sheeting; 229.129, Locomotive horn; 229.131, Sanders; and 229.135, Event recorders. CLCY seeks this waiver for its 5TM track mobile, CLCY 106. CLCY employs the track mobile for yard and industry switching, which is confined to CLCY's tracks within the J. Emil Anderson & Son, Inc. Industrial Park, located in Melrose Park, Cook County, IL. CLCY operates on 1.06 miles of track and 431 feet of siding. It interchanges railcars with the Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad on a transfer track that is west of Mannheim Road. CLCY is the sole rail operator on this line and provides rail service to two shippers. The 5TM track mobile switches, shoves, and pulls all railcars with their train air brakes cut in to maintain control of all switching movements. The track mobile will always operate at speeds not to exceed 10 mph. CLCY will not use a locomotive for these switching operations.
