I could see the point of remote control, if it was used by a trainman at the lead end of a cut while shoving to couple up. The engineer would then stay in his cab and take control when the engine is in the lead. <br /> <br />BUT THAT AIN'T HOW THEY DO IT - not here anyway. <br />the guy with the beltpack could be anywhere! He can't even see as good as the engineer while shoving - let alone feel how the cut is handling. The yard sure is getting noisy with all the bangin around - and almost every day a busted coupler too boot. <br /> <br />But the big thing I don't understand is why the UTU gets away with signing deals on another AFL union's turf. How come the AFL-CIO hasn't censured the UTU. Ain't that how the teamsters got kicked out - for doing such "Un-brotherly" stuff! <br /> <br />I guess the union is out for its own self, just the same as the company is! We are the pawns! <br />
