[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by drfizzix [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by ironken [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by nssr9169 It is not at all ard to move a locomotive, even on our tourist line we ALWAYS REMOVE THE REVERSER BEFORE LEAVING A LOCOMOTIVE UN OCCUPIED, why can a little 23 mile museam operation remember somthing that I thought was a manditory safety procedure? [/quote] There is a difference between some dude on a tourist line that runs a silly 23 miles and a certified engineer and conductor. Do you know how your statement sounds to real rails? Think about it. Sheesh! Oh yeah, I have worked that job in Lawrence and what they did is SOP. The FRA should issue an emergency order to stop non qualified people from popping off and critisizing crews. Your signature "at the throttle of a sw blah blah blah." How silly! Most of us rails have spent more time in the crapper on the motor than you have on a loco total. [/quote] First off, just because something is SOP, it does not mean that there is no room for improvement. If you don't believe that then you're an accident waiting to happen[soapbox]. Second, if you have indeed spent that much time in the locomotive crapper as you claim, then obviously you have not worked for the railroad that long. Most of them I wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole[xx(]. Last, spelling words like "criticizing" incorrectly and unneccessarily going off on the unsuspecting non-railroader public is nothing but an embarrasment to our profession [B)]. [/quote] I read your profile you dork. Gee whiz, I am a proud graduate of the Modoc Railroad academy class of April 2005. When did you hire out? Which road do you work for? I am an embarassment to our profession? Really! C'mon wise guy how many years do you have in? I am an accident waiting to happen? Wow, maybe I should trade in my 11+ years in the industry (not all in TY&E) and get schooled correctly at a pissant foamer school especially on the subject of safety. You could have went to a real school such as N.A.R.S. in Kansas at least. You are a wannabe. Book geek. If you have less than 5 years, it is not OUR profession, it is MY profession and your on the job training. You smell of foamer! Maybe if I sell my BNSF Safety plates, I too can go to MODOC and become a pro in only 6 short weeks and then I'll be as smart as you! Now go stand at the switch. I'll tell you which way to line it. Can you handle that?
