Yeah. Last week all the jobs at West Oakland were using two-units sets variously made up from 3 GP15s, 2 GP38s, and 1 MP15AC. Took that many units to cover two jobs per shift.

Yeah, but that was all wrong. Everything SP did was wrong. Now we've been shown the right way to railroad. For example, on Thursday a manager was more concerned about there being a company-supplied ice bucket in the cab - it's now a safety violation 'cuz some stupid employee might trip over it, sue the railroad, and win mega-bucks - of a unit that's had its broken refrigerator removed than he was about the lack of a controlable headlight on the training unit (I'm not kidding!).
