Rules Compliance

I don't have a current documents but Metrolink Timetable No 3 effective June 5 1993 shows that a clear rule was already in effect:

RULE 601. GAMES, READING:Following ins added:
Cellular phones must not be used except for Company business and use must be approved by Company officer.


Reading the LA TImes reports derived from the recent NTSB proceedings suggests at best this indivual had contempt for professional railroading and a reckless disregard for the safety of others.

Quote:
Sanchez sent a text message that day arranging another ride-along with one of the unidentified rail buffs, saying, "this time I'm taking a picture of you @ da throttle!!!"
Messaging another prospective rider about a trip planned for the evening of the Sept. 12 crash, Sanchez wrote: "yea . . . but I'm REALLY looking forward to getting you in the cab and showing you how to run a locomotive."
That recipient, also unidentified, responded: "Omg [oh my God] dude me too. Running a locomotive. Having all of that in the palms of my hands. Its a great feeling. And ill do it so good from all my practice on the simulator."
Sanchez answered: "I'm gonna do all the radio talkin' . . . ur gonna run the locomotive & I'm gonna tell u how to do it."
The Times reported last week that text messages indicated Sanchez had let rail enthusiasts ride in locomotive cabs, but conversation details released Tuesday also show that he tried to cover it up.
"I'm going to have to swear you to secretcy on this. not a word to anyone when we do. sorry but it needs to be that way" Sanchez messaged.
The recipient responded: "My lips are # sealed. Not a word will be spoken. You have my word on it."
