this is probably the single biggest issue in regards to safety & railroading, at least where I work..[UP Ft Worth] the carrier could do a lot better job when it comes to crew members knowing when they are going to work.there is nothing worse than waking up as you are going across a major railroad xing & realizing you aren't blowing the horn..it can be absolutley brutal to have to go to work tired & then run for 12 hours without a nap..I'm suprised the railroads don't issue amphetamines to their employees...[just kidding]this fatigue problem costs too much money to fix..they could come up with a better crew management system, but the carriers aren't interested in anything that won't return a handsome profit....problem is, accidents/derailments/fatalities ARE expensive & I can't for the life of me figure out wht they don't see this....I just don't see the big picture....or maybe the picture has fallen off the wall.
