Sunnyland, Contrary to his own judgment, the engineer left the smoking engine running per instructions from his supervisor.  He told the cab driver that he was going to re-contact his supervisor to see if he would reconsider the decision to leave the smoking engine running.  After the engineer had left, the public called the fire department and they arrived and shut down the engine according to the rules of the railroad.  Contrary to what Mr. Burkhardt said, the MM&A had been fully informed of the fire and the call to the fire department.  But then, Mr. Burkhardt might have been speaking in shades of gray rather than black and white when he told the public that the fire department never notified the railroad company.     After the fire department left, the engineer had several conversations with his supervisor about the fire and the supervisor informed the engineer that the fire was out and that everything was okay.  It is unclear why these conversations did not resolve the issue of leaving no engines running to pump air.  Certainly, the engineer’s supervisor knew that the one running engine had been shut down by the fire department because they told him that after they had finished their response at the scene.
