Operation Redblock was a (excuse the pun) joint effort by the railroads and the labor unions to curb drug and alcohol abuse on the railroad. If I recall correctly, the program started sometime in the early 1980's about the same time as Mothers against Drunk Driving, "Just say No" and the D.A.R.E. program for teens were starting. The program offered voluntary and first offense rehabilitation programs but after that, the railroads were going to get tough on violations of Rule G (no alcohol or drugs). You'll see some locomotives lettered "Operation Redblock" and they came out with a lot of bumper stickers, etc for the employees. run8john
