My goodness! Look, Extra board has made this clear to me, but I am going to try clear up youre confusion : Observe and Call Signals....It is required that any signal OTHER THAN GREEN be called out and acknowleged. Do you now understandwhat that means? It means that NO ONE SAYS A DAMN THING if the signal is green!!!! If that dudedidn't call out any signals then the Conductor is RIGHT to assume that the signal is clear---- the Conductor does NOT need to ask the engineer what the aspect is. O.K.
And on a different point, the only person here who thins a computer runs the train is JOhn Bruce. You know what John? Your doing it agian wheer you talk down about people. No one here says they ave friendly feelings toward child molesters, drug addicts, etc. But how do you keep them from putting the pubilc in danger? the only way to ENSURE they are not at the controls is live in a Brave New World (Aldous Huxley). If that's what you want, find yourself a time machine and travel back to 1939's Germany. Wouldn't it be great if everyone was a SUPERSTAR? The railroad's don't conduct background checks like J. Edgar Hoover (dress-wearing closet homo) and they don't wash-out trainees like the Navy does in its fighter pilot program. Take the bus, John

I think I'm going to take a break from this now.
