[quote user="henry6"] Yes, the FRA and Bucyrus are right.  But in the end the engineer has to know his job, his train, his right of way, his railroad, his own "feelings".  It is his judgement as to how things proceed.  What's the argument? [/quote] Henry, These are the questions: <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> 1)      If visibility is poor, but not zero, does an engineer have the authority to slow down if he feels that it would be safer, or is he not allowed to slow down in such circumstances because it would delay the train? <o:p></o:p> 2)      If visibility is zero, does the engineer have the option to run blind, or is he required to stop running?  Or is he not allowed to slow down in such circumstances because it would delay the train? <o:p></o:p> The FRA says the answer to question #2 is that the engineer is required to stop running. I could not get a clear answer from the FRA to question #1, but I did not press it.
