[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by edblysard Mookie, RCOs use two people, one runs the motor, one is the helper. The contract lets displaced yard engineers have first crack at running the remote, if he chooses not to, the senior switchman/yardmen/conductor gets it. Most of the time, you never see the helper on a remote job, he is down in the yard, lineing switches and watching shoves. Ed [/quote] Gosh, Ed...back here in the east, the two RCO guys are trainmen. The BLE decided engineers running remotes was beneath our dignity, so it was all or nothing. We got nothing. Every one of those switching jobs had an engineer at one time...we'd had a percentage of the rco's, but NOOOOOOO! Thanks, BLE for looking out for my interests. BTW, Mook. Do you think the crew of BNSF 9765 shopped their engine "...account not pretty..."?
