We already have a generation of young engineers who don’t understand how to properly use the air brakes, don’t understand how to control slack and really have no understanding of train dynamics because they haven’t been taught about those things. They have only been taught what they need to know to get a train over the road with everything working properly. Let something go wrong and they are totally lost and unable to do any creative problem solving because they don’t even know what the problem is, let alone how to solve it.
LOL, that kinda' reminds me of a humorous commercial that used to be on TV, where (if memory serves) a business-type guy carrying a briefcase and talking on his cellphone is taking an escalator to go upstairs, and all of a sudden, the electricity goes out. He's stranded halfway between floors and doesn't know what to do!
That's modern technology for ya'.
