Mike, I have heard just about enough of your crap! We are brainwashed? huh? What do you think happens at work for us? A company sponsored rally and subliminal message laden safety meeting. Let me tell you something. You can bet your sweet *** that we are professionals! I take my job and safety (us and the public) very seriousely. Funny thing about your approach to your so called "truth." It doesn't hold water with me. <br /> I've got a little story for you. Two days ago we are approaching a grade crossing (gated). We are shoving, I'm on the point protecting the movement. I'm in constant radio contact with the engineer giving car counts to the crossing. One guy speeds up to make it when he sees us coming (in a sedan) annother guy stops and decides that he is gonna make a run for it. Guess what he was driving. Yeah, he was driving a tandem axle fuel delivery truck. He barely makes it across. The crossing arm missed the back of the tank by 2 or 3 feet. If you think that is close, the car behind him decided that he should go as well. He had to swerve to miss the second gate and nearly rear ended the fuel truck. I got a bad feeling about 5 car lengths away and radioed for the engineer to plug it. I knew that one of those idiots were gonna make a run for it. We were going maybe 10 mph and had a short cut of cars, luckily. Now tell me about us bad guys. The crossing was gated, had bells, broad daylight, c'mon Mike. You and your "Ultra hazardous," crossings. Yeah right. Maybe Ultra hazardous for us idiots that have to be on the point of a shove like sitting ducks waiting to get smashed. This crap happens every day. I was complaining to the engineer about this and he said that was nothing. He has seen cars/ trucks go through the second set of arms breaking the crossing arm, not just one time. You know that plugging a train can and has resulted in derailment. When I have to do things like that because of people that think that their time is more valuable than their or my life, I get pissed. Now what do you suggest for my little girl or mom and dad if I were to get smashed because of somebody that thought that their time was more important than my life? By the way, this has happened more than once to me. Maybe you don't want to know the "truth."
