Hey Brakie...have you heard that the B.N.S.F. now has a exception to sleeping on the job for 'main-line' crews that was adopted about 2 years ago? Yes, it's true. And only for 45 min. at a time. Engineer, and Conductor, take turns. Where in the heck would so much time pass where such a exception could be realised? On the Scenic Sub., which goes over and through the Cascade Mtn. range to Wenatchee from Seattle Wa. It's single trk., and sometimes the waits are long, especially if someone on the 2.2% grade has a 'Hick-up'. There are other subtle restrictions on this exception, but it allows some relief for the guy's. Quite a move on the part of a Class 1 would'nt you say?...Hommie
