[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by MP173 Got a silly question. Remember, I am from Indiana and we dont usually have these situations... Lets just say a crew goes dead after 12 hours, but they are in a situation where there is danger for them to stay in their current location. What do they do? Do they stay in their locomotives until another crew arrives, or do they continue with their train? ed[/quote] Ed, I don't think its a silly question, and it was asked on a list I belong to, and got some good answers. Apparently this sums it up: "The code, in part, reads: (a) General. - This chapter does not apply to a situation involving any of the following: (1) a casualty. (2) an unavoidable accident. (3) an act of God. (4) a delay resulting from a cause unknown and unforeseeable to a railroad carrier or its officer or agent in charge of the employee when the employee left a terminal." "The carrier order the crew to violate, by declaring an emergency. The carrier always holds the bag. If the crew knowingly violated the law, without being ordered to do so, they would hold the bag." Hope this answers your question.
