    Under 49 U.S.C. 20106 (formerly Sec. 205 of the Federal Railroad 

Safety Act of 1970 (45 U.S.C. 434)), issuance of these regulations 

preempts any State law, rule, regulation, order, or standard covering 

the same subject matter, except a provision directed at an essentially 

local safety hazard that is consistent with this part and that does not 

impose an undue burden on interstate commerce.
