[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by zardoz Antigates, I must respectfully disagree. [/quote] Which is fine, i sure didnot hope to get anybody mad, and I'm not trying to say I am looking forward to this happening....but I bet it does happen, none the less.. There are too many benefits available for it not to happen.... it may entail trains being ran in a manner completely different from what we are used to, , to make the objective more "machine friendly", but the savings available might make that worthwhile. Sure, employee training is important. But just how long were you proposing that a full wage "fireman" sit in the students chair in the cab? 2 years? 5 years? That doesn't sound very realisitic to me. Don't the rail roads put 3 man crews out already when one is a student engineer? to learn the specific route he will be running on? Maybe current training levels are too short, but adding a 3rd staff position to every train just to always have a man in training (which is the way I read what you were saying) seems like overkill by a couple degrees of magnitude. Time will tell, I guess
