I wonder Terry, have you ever worked as a trainman or engineer? Or were you a manager at Burgerking before this?Maybe straight out of collage? You mean to tell me you have NEVER hiden some where to watch a crew for rule violations? You honestly think that if we were to follow every rule , we would get things done? You do know, of course, that a break test ( by the rules ) requires that a conductor or car department walk the application on BOTH SIDES of the train? The rule states that the shoes must be against every wheel. This means that when leaving a yard with a 130 car train, it would take better than 2 hours just for the break test. Tell me, have you or your buddies cut jobs,crew, but still expect the work to get done? Maybe cut off a switchman, to make a job conductor only, but not cut any of his work. Tell me, how does he switch one end a protect the other end? The ansewer is he can't, and this is understood. The track holds 90 cars and the yard master wants you shove the track in because it only has 60 cars on it, if the conductor tries to go to the rear to protect the shove, he gets yelled at for holding up the move (in a hump yard). OK,there are a few managers that don't get a hard-on for trying to fire people, maybe you are one of those, but if this is true , you are in the minority.
