Noel, you have taken the wrong position in this forum. You have taken the position of authority, the same position that you undoubtedly take in your classroom. Here is where the problem lies! To help you out, I will set you straight. You are the ammature here! Don't forget that! You no doubt have knowledge on the business end of the RR through books, lit., and discussion. But, that is where your knowledge ends. You don't learn RRing from discussion, books, etc. You learn it by living it. You present yourself as the authority on the RR and we (the ones who live it) as the ones who must prove our point to you. A slight role reversal here. It is you sir who must prove himself to us. Your limited knowledge of the RR is showing in your posts. In your behalf, I would not even dream of comparing the quality of an on-line class to one that I am face to face with an instructor. I believe that alot is lost there. I did go to college, and I had some very good instructors that got through to me where as an on-line course couldn't have.....period. Now, Noel, quit portraying yourself as the expert and listen. I operate those remotes every day and will answer questions about them honestly. By not working on the RR, there are so many things that you have not a clue about. There are rules and operating practices that you most likely have no idea even were in place. There are scenarios that you would not think of unless you were a part of them. Here is your chance to learn and take to your class a less opinionated, more factual take on the real world application of new technology on the RR. <br /> As far as your weak scenario of the train A and B emergency thing, there are GCOR rules that apply after a train has gone into emergency. Tell me how these rules can be complied with if they were ran by GPS remotely (seems here that you are confusing RCO and the GPS technology currently being tested. There is a great difference)
