Hey, Mike say Hi to Jolene for me. I still remember the great Dibble, Gilkey incident at Bel Air mine. I think that was just a free trip to Denver. Keep in mind most of that stuff for the discipline is way up the food chain. Most of the managers don't even get any input. As much as we mess up, I doubt it would differ. I used to hear Al Rickets (Supt. Gillette) say " If I could do what I wanted, there wouldn't be many left, but the ones that were would be good ones"

When I was still working I worked a job I had at least 15 years on the territory.  Most RR management today do not know the territory and are just like most employees do not know the history or how things work.  One or two summers working do not make any kind of manager.  Most that were over me were just YES men.  The guy that would qualify me on the job had never worked it and did not even come from the Chicago Region.

That's true, Al.......

That, and the video game tryin' to tell me in "real time" how to run my motor, is why I'm not re-certing this year. My licence runs out end of November, my vacation starts first of December an' I ain't coming back. The guy who ran the signal and "T-boned" the mty at Fortin got two months as a brakeman in the Edgemont yard, and still thinks it was the signal system's fault because he couldn't figure out the train comin' around the other leg of the wye was gonna' end up on the same track as he was!!!!!!

I was in Gillette when the train ran out of the Coal Siding and smacked the light engine in the Yard, Joleene the Operator still says it was a he** of a bang :>)

It is law that the union must defend and try its best to restore all members rights whether most of the rest of the local thinks the person should be permanently fired or not. So the union has no choice. But the RR managers do. There have been cases where fired employees never got back to work on the RR but those are the exceptions to the norm. Anybody can make a mistake but there are some who never learn yet are restored to service time after time. Frankly I don't want to run against those people, one day their screw-up might kill me. Get rid of them permanently.

The train rolled off the hill into the yard, collided with the head end of another parked train, destroyed locos, knocked down a large concrete overhead pedestrian bridge, turned over numerous tank cars. The crews' punishment? To show safety films to crews coming on duty for two weeks, with pay. Huh?
