[quote user="Murphy Siding"] <blockquote> <div><img src="/TRCCS/Themes/trc/images/icon-quote.gif" /> Bucyrus:</div> <div></div> I do not see what is meant by several people here saying that this has to make economic sense in order for the railroads to accept it.  There is currently developing, a formulated approach to solving this problem.  And I don’t think it is going to make economic sense.  I would not be surprised if it doubles the cost of labor.    I don’t think the railroads or the unions are going to be in a position to reject the solution just because it adds cost or does not make economic sense.  Does PTC make economic sense? <div style="clear:both;"></div>   </blockquote>      Why is everything in your world viewed through your *The big-bad government is out to get all of us and make us slaves to their every whim, and we are utterly powerless to stop THEM" goggles? <img src="/TRCCS/emoticons/icon_smile_sigh.gif" alt="Sigh" /> Oof duh!  Change is going to come.  It always does.  Change will come to this situation as well.  The change will be evolutionary, as most things are, not revolutionary (or visionary, for that matter.)  Railroad safety has been improving since the day the first tracks were laid.      Were the big-bad wolf able to force railroads to change everything about their operations, whether it involve sleep pattersn, operations in fog, black tankcars, or whatever else, it won't be done in a vaccuum.     The government will be able to FORCE the railroads into operating 9:00 to 5:00, Monday thryu Friday.  (On days it's not foggy.) This will happen the same time that the government FORCES the airlines, truckers, police, fire departments, military, hospitals, power plants, etc..etc..etc... to do the same.      I understand your paranoia and your agenda.  But why?  Why does it have to the focus of everything you type about any subject under the sun? <img src="/TRCCS/emoticons/icon_smile_dead.gif" alt="Dead" /> <div style="clear:both;"></div> [/quote] I think that is what you are projecting from your perception of what I am saying, and that the goggles you speak of are on your eyes, not mine.  I have no control over the fact that you think I am pushing an agenda, or paranoid.  But, I do think you are jumping to conclusions in making everything I say fit your model of what you think I am about.  This sleep issue is what it is.   I can see it but I can't change it.   Open your eyes and look at it.   Let me know if you think it is something other than what I see.  I'll be glad to consider it.
