Two hours may not be an unreasonable amount of time to fix a broken knuckle.  However, two hours is not a reasonable amount of time to block a sufficient number of crossings to disable a city’s emergency response system.  Considering that we all agree that a broken knuckle is a routine matter, there needs to be a way of fixing it without unreasonably long and widespread disruption to a city.  It does not require new technology to do that.  It only requires pulling the head end ahead, and maybe pulling the hind end back if they can find a locomotive to do it.   <o:p></o:p> Derailments are not routine, and they can certainly block grade crossings for several days.  But even when that happens, the rest of the train is quickly pulled ahead and back in order to unblock all of the crossings not directly affected by the derailment.
