One other aspect of trying to schedule a 'daylight railroad' operation. <br /> <br />Major industrial concerns don't want crew switching in their plants while the industry's work force is attempting to manufacture the industry's product.....so such switching is performed between 5 PM and 7 AM as a general rule. <br /> <br />Secondly, on the railroad the track and signal systems must be worked on, for the most part M of W and Signal personal do all their 'scheduled' work and inspections during 'normal' daylight working hours. <br /> <br />As a consequence of the above two realities, most of the train operations of the railroad occur between 3PM and 7AM. REAL railroading is a night time operation.
