OK SO IF THEY BECOME ENGINEER ONLY TRAINS, DOES THAT MEAN THIS PERSON GETS TO WALK THE 2 MILES TO THE REAR OF AN INTERMODUAL TRAIN AFTER THE TRAIN GOES INTO EMERGENCY? THEN 2 MILES BACK TO THE CAB. THEN LUG THE KNUCKLE, AIR HOSE OR OTHER PART BACK, MAKE THE REPAIR, THEN GO BACK UP TO THE CAB, BACK THE TRAIN TO COUPLE IT, THEN WALK BACK, HOOK THE AIR UP, THEN GO BACK TO THE CAB AND HOPE LIKE HELL THAT IT STAYS TOGETHER. ABOUT THE TIME HE GETS THE AIR BUILT UP HE WILL OUTLAW AND WAIT FOR THE RELEIF MAN TO SHOW UP, ALL THE WHILE BLOCKING THE MAINLINE. THERE IS NO SENSE TO IT! SO I AM SURE SOME BOOZO IN THE BOARD WILL COME UP WITH THIS GREAT IDEA TO MAKE A BETTER BOTTOM LINE. OH YAH FOR THE RECORD, I DO NOT WORK FOR ANY RR. BUT I STILL DO HAVE THAT THING CALLED COMMON SENSE AND THIS IDEA DOES NOT.
