Hommie,and the rest of u clowns.Take a good look at that 3 ring binder.Each and every rule in there can get you fired.When you get hired on the railroad, the management welcomes you on board,then starts trying to fire you. You and your silly cohorts, who it is quite clear have never worked for any railroad, are so quick to judge. If I and my fellow railroaders were to follow every rule, the railroads would never move any frieght.That rulebook is there to cover there *** when something goes wrong, or someone gets hurt. Then they can pull out the book to show the rule that was violated. When there comes a time when they have to many workers, the book is used to thin the workforce. If they have a shortage of workers, the rulebook is placed on the shelf. The crew you mentioned bottled the air so they could recharge it quicker. They did this because they dont understand how the breaking system works. All you need is a 1&1/2 lbs increase, and the air tanks on the cars start dumping air into the breakline to help recharge it. It is a quick release feature found on all cars today. So if just 1 car leaks air into the breakpipe,then a domino effect comes into play and all breaks will release. On a cold day, with a 100 car train, it can take over 40 min.to recharge a train w/no air in it. They were trying to save time. I would think that this was the company's fault for not making sure the men new about the break system of a train and how it works.
