Oh, yeah, a couple more. <br /> <br />15. Always have your train paperwork in good order. Always know where in your train all hazmat cars are located and keep track of their changed position on your trainsheet after each switching stop. Make sure you always have enough buffer cars between the locomotive and any hazmat cars. <br /> <br />16. Know your hazmat rules and keep your DOT book in your grip. <br /> <br />17. Always be aware of your surroundings and watch for anything out of the ordinary. <br /> <br />18 Be careful when flagging crossings. That flag and fusee won't stop that 2 ton automobile. <br /> <br />19. Always stand in a safe place when performain rollby inspections of other trains. You never know what may come flying at you. <br /> <br />20. When you are on the ground in multi-track territory always be aware that another train may approach at any time. <br /> <br />21. Watch out for the others on your crew. <br /> <br />22. Watch out for transients on and off trains. Report them if you deem it necessary. Don't feel guilty about reporting them. They don't belong there and could hurt you or cause a derailment. Also, if one of them is hurt or killed on your train at best you will be held up for hours and at worst you will have long legal proceedings to deal with. <br /> <br />LC
