Our cabs are not all that filthy, the DSF usually dumps the trash, sweeps and services the head regularly. In the summer the head can get a little stinch to it, but, not overwhelming. We do have chairs (the seats in the cabs) and a conductor's desk or engineer's control stand to eat off of (engineers on the non comfort cabs are kinda screwed). To wash hands they provide crew packs that contain waterless hand cleaner, moist towlettes, paper towels, butt gasket (for the toilet) and T.P. If it weren't for the unions we wouldn't get that much, you can bet on that! As far as passenger service, I cannot speak on what dress is req'd or furnished. In freight svce. you are responsible for all clothing except for PPE. Boots are 85% paid for by the company. This all is on the BNSF, I cannot speak for other roads. <br />Ken
