[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by jhhtrainsplanes OOOOOHHHHHHHH NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO [:0] [:0] [:0] This thread seems to be waning again. [|)] Think we might wax it a little. [;)] [/quote] HHHHHHmmmmmmmmmm I guess I will have to wax it myself. So here goes. Ed, this isn't the stupid question thread, but since this accident is posted in this thread I will ask a question here. Years ago I heard the statement that the railroads were self-insured. One year mother (who retired from Frisco with 36 years service) bought a very nice charcoal grill from the railroad. It was of course salvalged. She stated that a train had derailed and the railroad was selling the grills. The one we received was still in the carton and had no damage. It gave us many years of fine service. Things might or might not be the same now. I don't know. Things might be different with a terminal railroad verses a long haul class 1, there again, I don't know. So even though I am posting this question in other than the stupid question thread I believe our crowd will still see it. Talk, please, about the railroad's insurance in reference to their locos and boxcars, etc., and about your friend who had the acid accident. Do the railroad's carry workman's comp insurance? Do they foot the bill themself and have no insurance? The locos are financed correct. If so the holding company or trust or whoever holds the note would require insurance. I was sorry to hear about his accident. It does, however, fuel these questions. Once again, this is not intended as a test. None of my question will ever be so.
