(BJRY)petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration
(FRA)for a waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR part 223, Safety Glazing Standards.

BJRY 3238 operates on other-than-main track at speeds not exceeding 10 miles per hour. The locomotive is equipped with safety laminate glass (AS-1, AS-2) and is serviced and maintained by BJRY at Rochelle, Illinois.
