This and all the other payouts, bad PR, cleanup and delay expense would have maintained a lot of cabooses and employed lots of Conductors watching the rear of the train. Safety is of the first importance... === === = === JLH

Truth.   The periodic inspections en route are not sufficiently rigorous.   (former NS shareholder)

Why stop there?  Its a long way from the caboose to a car 160 cars forward.  Why not assign an employee to watch every 2 cars?  They could ride on a platform between the cars and watch for problems.

Bring it up on the morning meeting, you’ll be an idea man, idea people get bonuses and promotions and stuff.
