Mike et al..."Down in the nose" replaced "Puttin in a fire" when diesels replaced steam..I was never involved in any kind of "incident" where a fireman was involved when he was not..."back in the engine room"...or "down in the nose"...Read the old ICC Accident Investigations and you'll see how that "excuse" came from "eternity past" into the diesel age.
I love "account"...also...that was one of the terms the "new" management tried to get us to get rid of...."See no failure to comply" was indeed a classic and nearly always followed a diatribe promising dire consequences from the Supt. or General Manager.
All of these things continue to build support for my oft repeatedd adage..."The only thing that changes from railroad to railroad is the railroad name and the people name...The stories and "incident reports"...remain the same from railroad to railroad over the years. Pete

I really love "See no failure to comply" :>) Mike __._,_.___
