This is where looking over your paperwork very carefully before depature comes in handy. Having hazmats too close to the head is always frowned on. Having too many loads trailing your empties can be a disaster. Also csx had a rule prohibiting having more than 5000 or 6000 trailing tons behind an empty 89' flat. Having a loaded log car next to a tank car is prohibited, as well as having anything protruding over the ends of a flat car. If the train is blocked wrong I tell the yardmaster and trainmaster to cover myself. I know guys who have tried to refuse trains because the cab of the locomotive stunk, or they didn't have AC. Bottom line is if you are gonna refuse to take a train you better have a good reason.
