Let's do a little math:
It was steamed up yesterday, to play around in the yard.
That's one service day.
The schedule shows it will be under steam for 32 days.
That's a total of 33 service days without a federally-required
31 service day inspection and boiler wash. Which would be an
intentional violation.
This would not be the first time they've cheated on the service
days, as they have manufactured their own definition of a service
day, which is direct conflict with what the law clearly requires.
They've managed to "explain" it away before. Maybe they will this
time, as well.
And the trailing load today was more like 750 tons. Since it's all
downhill from Archer to Omaha, a 44-tonner could have done that.
Big whoop!
