One of the classes, "Internship in Railroad Operations," has the
following requirement:

"...Students will be required to make up trains, couple and uncouple cars and locomotives,
troubleshoot air brake systems, get on and off moving equipment up to 20 miles per hour, remove and apply knucles of cars (knuckles weigh 75 pounds) and throw switches. This course will require the student to get on and off a train moving up to 20 miles per hour."

It wouldn't seem to be a typo because it is stated twice--getting on and off equipment/moving train at up to 20 mph.

I thought nowadays getting on and off moving equipment was not allowed at all--equipment must come to a complete stop before a trainman can step on or off equipment. Someone familiar with this school perhaps should advise them of this what seems to be an error.
