Sec. 229.33  Out-of-use credit.



    When a locomotive is out of use for 30 or more consecutive days or 

is out of use when it is due for any test or inspection required by 

Sec. 229.23, 229.25, 229.27, 229.29, or 229.31, an out-of-use notation 

showing the number of out-of-use days shall be made on an inspection 

line on Form FRA F 6180-49A. A supervisory employee of the carrier who 

is responsible for the locomotive shall attest to the notation. If the 

locomotive is out of use for one or more periods of at least 30 

consecutive days each, the interval prescribed for any test or 

inspection under this part may be extended by the number of days in each 

period the locomotive is out of use since the last test or inspection in 

question. A movement made in accordance with Sec. 229.9 is not a use 

for purposes of determining the period of the out-of-use credit.
