This is the header of the 30 page compilation of RCO incidents. The incidents range from cornering equipment, run through switches (power and Hand), rough joints causing a derailment, shoves hitting occupied power or cars, running signals, kicking cars into other jobs, breaking knuckles. You name it it has been done. The number of RCO the BNSF jobs was running is important to understand. The RCOs were started at the very end on February 2002. by June 10, 2002 there were 27 jobs. By the end of 2002 128 jobs. They haven't updated the number of RCO jobs in 2003. If they continued to put them on at the same rate as they were in the last six months of 2002 there would have been about 228 jobs by the middle of June 2003. That would put the average number of jobs for the whole period covered in this report somewhere between 75 and 114 per day. The full 30 page report gives details of some of the accidents.
