[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Overmod Was this job description floated and posted before the Rail Labor Bargaining Coalition started its little power game with the ground rules of engagement for negotiations? If Bergie will permit, this seems like it might be a railroad version of the old joke about the "battle of the sexes" -- as my father's best friend once put it, being quick enough to say "am I hurting you, dear?" before she says "is it in yet?" No doubt that "one-man crews" will be a logistical disaster in most forms of freight railroading -- even point-to-point intermodals. But carefully, carefully look at what GE is talking about with that 'digital system' in their annual report. Think for a moment about what happens when you have really good, continuously-updated GIS coupled with NDGPS... and, if I remember correctly, NDGPS is slated for effective completion to coverage of Class 1 rail mileage ahead of schedule, if not already... Who said the one guy left on the train would be primarily an engineer? ;-} [/quote] LOL. Yup. Sounds like he might be from the mechanical side. Combination Locomotive Mechanic and Carman. He can sling a nice hammock where the Conductor/Fireman's seat used to be. Set the alarm for when a knuckle breaks... LC
