A head on collision last month near Elpaso Tx was due to a engineer

and a drug smoing paraphanila (crack pipe)

Most railroads have very strong Anti-drug programs. Many have counseling as part of their program. I'd guess UP will have the "**** Bus" out and get a lot of random testing done. Besides, it sounds like this guy paid the ultimate penalty. Too bad he took the innocent conductor along with him. I guess I'm still not sure who you are saying was fired???

The least people could do if they end up being a train engineer, or truck driver, or airplane pilot, or any job of that kind is not do drugs, or abuse alcohol.

If you wanna do pot become a philosopher or something where your actions won't be hurting/killing people.

I hear ya, macguy. I don`t touch the stuff. I know people do, but don`t be stupid enough to operate anything at all under the influence, especially a train.

What I find funny/sick about this is that the railroad spouses in El Paso had a big demonstration about crew fatique immediately after the accident. Wonder if anyone in the public will catch a whif of politics in that?
