[quote user="zardoz"][quote user="Expresslane"] <p>Hey zardoz You seem to not like conductors. </p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Not true. I just do not like someone who's behavior puts my (as well as others) life at risk.</p><p>EVERYONE in the operating department of any class 1 railroad has fallen asleep on duty at one time or another (but only the honest ones admit it). I certainly have. And when I did, I was not happy with myself, for I knew I put my life, as well as my conductor's life, as well as the life of everyone who lived near the tracks, at risk.</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>I think there is a good case to be made for having alertors installed to keep conductors awake as well. Here is an idea, how about a system were <em><strong>both the conductor and engineer both have to press a button at the same time</strong></em> to shut off the alarm? I am willing to bet that that would be cheeper than installing a PTS system on an entire railroad system. </p>
