Zarkoff,
Let me know where you run? I don't want to be on anything you're operating. As I regularly told my staff, who chose to cruise the internet at work, you have no right of privacy on your employers computer. Nor do you when you are at the controls of a locomotive, it's a condition of working in a safety sensitive industry. So if you don't like working for the railroad (if in fact your do?), quit. The police state rhetoric is total Bxxxxxxt.
It's that kind of attitude toward serious safety issues, that refuses to take responsibility, because you might be "annoyed", that is at the heart of "enabling" a culture of unprofessional behavior that resulted in this accident. We wouldn't want to "annoy" you over the negligent and prevenable deaths of 25 people.
This culture of lax safety was enabled by Connex/Veolia's failure to do even minimal rules enforcement. So Metrolink is stepping back in to take control, and demand some accountability, and the camera's are just one part. They declared two of the (ir?)responsible Connex officials persona non grata on the property, yesterday, and rightly so.
If two people in the cab was the solution, then I wouldn't have visited all of those accident sites where two people were in the cab over the last 40 years? Even with two people in the cab, the camera will make sure one of them isn't snoozing off?
When you learn to "read" what you quote, we'll discuss PTC? Which you obviously don't understand, or apparently like, either.
Thank you for your efforts to save America from becoming a Weimar Republic, whatever the hell that means???? I'm sure the families of the Chatsworth victims understand your sincere concerns.
