<P mce_keep="true">[quote user="BaltACD"] <P>[quote user="WIAR"] <P>It didn't seem to be a big deal when the management of the St. Croix Valley RR let me ride along in the cab during their Hinckley - Rush City turn a few Octobers ago. I wrote the railroad a nice letter asking if I could ride along, two days later I got a phone call at work, asking when I wanted to go? I got up to Hinckley, the engineer had a legal form ready for me to sign absolving the company of any liability if I got injured, and away we went (and I great trip it was even with my bladder ready to burst by the time we got back to Hinckley).</P> <P>[/quote]<STRONG><FONT color=#0000ff>When the apporpriate authorities of a railroad authorize a cab ride, it is 'no big deal'. However, a engineer is not the appropriate authority. In todays sue happy society parties will use any potential grounds to prove case, unauthorized cab occupancy would be one such ground in any kind of incident.</FONT></STRONG>[/quote]</P> <P>If you're referring to <U>my</U> particular cab ride, the SCXY engineer wasn't the "authority" who granted permission. That permission came from the company headquarters up north who called me. The engineer is just the employee who handed me the document to sign.</P>
