That's plural) on that train UP. <br /> <br />The very first busted coupler you see on that train 100 miles from anythingville is going to be the one that halts that division. <br /> <br />Or even that through train has to sit sometime at a red signal. <br /> <br />Perhaps that engineer goes to sleep while waiting for it to turn green again. Who is going to be the one to be sent to wake him or her up? <br /> <br />Or worse yet... some kind of freak accident that breaks the boot of the engineer and causes a injury that must be tended to right now. <br /> <br />Who is going to be found to be sent out to drive that train huh? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />And how about the poor sob that hits somebody... What does he do? Get down out of the cab and leave it unattended, away from the radio, while he walks the train in the dark waiting to come upon some nightmare all by himself? <br /> <br />Dave <br /> <br />-DPD Productions - Featuring the NEW TrainTenna LP Directional RR Radio Monitoring Antenna- <br />http://eje.railfan.net/dpdp/ <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />He stays on the locomotive and notifies the Dispatcher for help, just like he is supposed to do right now. <br /> <br />LC
