Dear railroaders: <br />As a railfan, this business about voluntarily braking rules is starting to make me a little worried. From your examples, it seems to be usually harmless. But say you're at the point of a train of chlorine-laden tank cars, and the dispatcher tells you to pass an absolute red signal at track speed when you can see another train coming your way. Doing so under protest won't do much good when all four crewmen are dead and there is a multi-million dollar toxic spill. <br /> <br />Also, how would the FRA have authority in matters of rules-but-not-laws infractions? <br /> <br />I had always thought railroads took a more "by the book" approach than you have presented here. And by the way, what is "doubling the air on more than one double"? <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />Daniel Parks
