I don't know. I have read both the BLE and UTU web pages alomost daily for about two years (I know, I am supposed to be working) and I think that the BLE made a MAJOR tactical error on the RC issue. An engineer on the ground with a RC pack is still an engineer, paying BLE dues. To oppose any discussion of RC was to open the way for the UTU members to step in and take their places- concern for safety is a red herring- otherwise locos manned by BLE humans would never run a red, collide in th yards or all the other things that happen every day, with or without persons at the controls or on the ground. The Canadian experience shows the safety possibilities, and as with any technology it will get better and safer over time. <br /> <br />The BLE as an orgaization may have sacrificed many of their members jobs in their desire the stay in the cab (and collecting dues) and not face the future- a little like fireman on diesels for 40 years. Sad.
