Your chance to be a lawyer.....

I have a major qualm about remote road train scheduling. This qualm is caused by the road maintenance question. If someone at headquarters decides (possibly correctly based on the balance sheet) that we must cut track maintenance and inspection, We ALL would be at risk as that remote train highballed down the main line until someplace (possibly in a town or suburb) a derailment happened spilling the contents of the wrong tank car, or cars. Based on our present tort procedures, the area lawyers would be flocking around like bees to a nectar source to legally collect "damages" and further cause delayed maintenance. In short, using of remote controlling quite possibly could break (aga9n) the railroad . In short, I live in a suburb of Miami, Fl. and know how the FEC trains leave the yard here and go through the city of Hialeah to reach the main line going North. I know this main line, and shudder at the thought that the time freights between Miami and Jacksonville would be going through all the downtowns with no one being immediately present to take action on situations caused either by railroad or driver (pedestrian) failure. I already know from riding Tri-Rail how you can sit while you wait for the CSX geniuses in Jacksonville Despatch to clear the line for real live passenger trains.
