[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by zardoz</i> <br /><br />All this talk about padlocks! If someone is determined to "hijack" a locomotive, a mere padlock is not going to even slow them down. Sure, they will stop an opportunist who sees a locomotive and wants to go inside and maybe mess up things, or steal from the grips. And a clever engineer can do things to a locomotive that will prevent anyone other than another trained (pun intended) person from getting it going. <br /> <br />Which reminds me: thanks to all the non-rails that wanted to show off their "knowledge" by announcing to the public the basic safety measures most train crews use to secure their equipment. How would you feel if someone used the information you posted to cause a REAL problem? Maybe caused injuries or death? <br /> <br />Please think before you post. There are greater concerns to consider. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I have a better idea, lets close down the Trains.com and other online railfan forums in the name of homeland security [:p]. Furthermore, if someone is determined enough to cut a padlock off of a locomotive cab door, then certainly none of the other safety measures are going to stop them either... it's only a matter of how long it takes them to figure it out.
