[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Mookie Ok - when you are in the middle of nowhere and your whole crew of 1 other is dead to the world, whose to know? Surely no one is going run out to the engine and check! And it should be a foregone conclusion that you nap with your ears properly tuned to any noise.....or maybe that is a "mother's thing". Sleep through a tornado, but the baby passes gas and Mom is awake! [/quote] The railway is like that all-'round mook. You're supposed to wear your high-vis, but when you're on the road there usually isn't anyone out there to remind you to put it on. On most railways you're supposed to be wearing safety glasses, but in most cases there is nobody looking over your shoulder telling you to put them on. You're not supposed to move cars with handbrakes applied, and you're supposed to test the handbrake before you ride it. Most of the time there's nobody looking over your shoulder telling you to do those. In most cases running trades employees are left on their own with very little supervision, it's assumed, to an extent, that everyone plays by the rules. Of course I say "most cases" because you really never know when one of those road supervisors or yardmasters are looking over your shoulder. [}:)]
