Hello group there is and always will be disagreements between managenent and labor but some how the job gets done take for example the trainmaster we often call them weed weasels bur we know there job is to operationaly test the crews in both road and yard service if you are doing your job properly and do not pay attention to them you will be ok a lot of trainmasters can switch and have no idea what is involved in flat switching cars. I have been ordered on a train to go somewhere and have had to take the siding to meet a train that took over 4 hours to show up there is a thing in the GCOR called napping when your train is sitting the crew can nap the most screwed up time is when you are on a interchange train once you leave your home rails you are at the mercy of the interchange road and the biggest share of the time you control point hop. Yes there are accdents some are caused by broken rails but some are cused by human error forgetting to algine the switch or remove the derail. As for the extra board the only thing bad about it is not knowing when you are going to get called to go to work the extra board people fill holes in the road or yard service. Rodney Beck Switchman
