Funny you ask, Bruce. I just got RCO qualified on the BNSF. There is a 60 day hold down, and I was on the virge of getting forced to a spot. In a nutshell, there are 2 man crews. No engineer! These remotes suck! Imagine now trying to switch and have the responsibilities of the engineer, not to mention the loss of a brother's job. I feel like a friggin' scab when I run the thing. Virtually no trainhandling experience and pulling 7000 ft. drags. Yep, it is dangerous. We get paid an additional 46 minutes to run them. The UTU sold us out. I have since withdrawn from the UTU and became a BLE member. Mark my word, others have been hurt by them and it will continue. Quantum is now testing satellite controlled trains on the road...you are correct, it won't be long. <br />Ken
