Lastly, this is for the Number 90, HW, and the other people in this group who ran trains. In your honest opinion, are the people who are now running trains have that "innate" knowledge of railroading? NO!
A railroad version of Scully. Is the training good enough? NO!
Did the railroad industry loose a training base by having fewer switch jobs and locals. Not really. The trouble started long before!
What about a Top Gun program where some of the best in the field teach, if they have the later skill. Ha! The RR's have no idea what that is! Even with the tools that they developed, they fumbled the ball from the get-go! With "Safety is of first importance in the discharge of duty" is the motto of the day, the RR's turned their back on proper training! It is sinful in the way that the RR's would not let the knowledgeable engineers instruct their trainee's correctly!
