Oh boy here we go , to start with im a 11 yr employee of the uprr i work the COAL LINE in wyoming for those who do ot know ,there are 55 to 70 20,000 ton trains loaded , empty trains not included !!!!!! all in the area of 120 miles of track between shawnee JCT , and cabballo mine ( by gellete ,wyoming ). <br /> All i have to say is this , will one man crews work ? yes , but not until countless lives are lost through trial and error , because try as they might ( and oh! will they )there will come a time that 4 eyes are better than 2 no matter how you slice it , no computer system in the world can take the place of that , how do i know this ? ive reviewed times in my career where i asked could a computer do what i did to stop an accident , and honestly , 50 % of them i could see that a computer could have helped , but in no way could the other 50 % EVER been helped by computer . I often wonder now at what cost is the RR going to endure , lives ,jobs...........to be competitve they say !!! HAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHA competitive with who ??????????????????????? The U.P.R.R is a big a business there is and we all know about big business dont we ?$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$profit at ANY COST !
