If the people who caused many of the recent accidents had only paid attention to their jobs, we wouldn't need all this stuff. PTC as is current law, won't work, which is why the
railroads hate it. Government mandates like the current PTC are reactionary lawmaking, usually poorly thought out and designed. If people would pay attention to their jobs, quit texting their girlfriend at their away terminals, actually rest during their rest periods, pull their heads out and pay attention!! But noooo, everyone has their union backed rights to screw off, and endanger everyone else's safety. I spent too many years as the local chairman listening to everyone complain about this and that, wanting the union to lobby for more safety regulations, and then when they get the regulations they wanted, complain about them, and blame the company for them. The job used to be fun --- back when people actually did them.
