Did you hear about the major UP terminal that had just opened a new operation in their yard? They had the local TV crew there to get the story on the new operation. The terminal manager is live on TV, bragging about what a great improvement this is going to be for the local area and the economy, blah, blah, blah. And while he is talking....BOOM, SCREECH...the switch crew derails a car right behind him while the TV crew is filming. Nothing major, just a truck riding up out of the rails. The terminal manager is so pissed off he fires the crew that day! The union gets involved and tells the Terminal Manager that the two local switch crews are working 12 hour shifts and yes, they are bending every rule in the book to get the work done in twelve hours. IF, the crew gets fired they promise to diligently obey every rule which the terminal manager knows will tie up the terminal, require two extra crews and four more locomotives to get the work done in the alloted time. Plus they threatened to go back to the local TV station and tell everything! As a compromise, the crew was transferred to some God forsaken outpost for a two week punishment tour before being allowed to return to their regular assignment. What a way to run a railroad!
