Yobs nabbed playing chicken' with train
GOSHEN, Ind. - A Norfolk Southern train engineer made an emergency stop in Goshen just after 4 a.m. Friday, WSBT-TV reports.

Four youths were playing chicken' with the oncoming train near Fifth Street, prompting the engineer to stop the train and call police.

Goshen Police located all four youths within minutes, according to an Elkhart County emergency services dispatch supervisor.

A Norfolk Southern safety officer also came to the scene.

A real RR would sue the kids and every living family member for delaying the train and wear and tear on the brake shoes.....

Then fire the engineer for making an unnecessary emergency application....... he should have known there were kids in the tracks......

Yeah, and fire Troll because everything is his fault and fire HHB because that power might've been on the UP at one time or another and fire all the other LAMCO employees because they failed to contact this hogger with an updated job briefing.

A job briefing is no job briefing without side shields - riveted side shields.

Snippy, if we're sitting in the yard office and we haven't actually left the safe confines of the yard office and the person conducting the job briefing, where we're discussing our dispatcher bulletins, latest operations bulletins, superintendent notices, safety concerns, consist of train, safe walking, best train handling practices, what to do if we see chicken-playing kids, oh, it goes on and on.  Anyway, the person conducting the job briefing does not wear presciption eyewear and, in this part of the mighty LAMCO system, at least, safety eyewear with riveted sideshields is not required in the yard office, then what you're telling us is that the person conducting the job briefing really can't do that.  I say nay.  Or is that neigh?  Nea?  Whatever, I cry foul.

Sorry, since there's only a couple of guys on here that I've actually laid eyes on, I cannot verify or deny that Uke is a mongoloid. Just as I cannot verify or deny that you yourself are or are not a mongoloid. But, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, just as I've given Uke.

Re: Job briefings, side shields, *cy*'s comments

*cy*
i'll give you your rule interpretation, but why would we not want to go the extra mile in our rule compliance? Shouldn't we strive to be safe in all aspects of our work life? (LIFE) Suppose a piece of paper were to get caught by the wind. Riveted side shields may be the difference between an annoying breeze and a REPORTABLE INJURY!!! Imagine your embarrassment to be struck down in the prime of your work LIFE because your side shields were laying on the table! What would your co-workers do if you were to lose the Safety Stock (Equivalent) Award! We could lose the Harry Man because of your cavalier attitude. Just because something isn't strictly AGAINST the rules does not make it safe!

Think about this and THINK! the next time you CHOOSE not to wear your riveted side shields.

Nah, I don't think so, Uke is the spitting image of an old conductor buddy of mine and you, well, I don't think you're FABIO'S twin. Although you might be. And, if you are, do you carry a stick or does Mrs. Troll carry it?

Snippy, you're so inspiring, you've so inspired me to try to attain new heights of safey performance. You're almost as inspiring as the last LAMCO supervisor I had the privilege of speaking to. If a piece of paper is caught by the wind and strikes me down in the prime of life while I'm inside the yard office, what punishment is severe enough for the person or persons who left the door open? That's the only way I see your scenario unfolding around here in our modern climate-controlled surroundings.

Ah, there's so many questions, so little time. Tell me, if I were so privileged to be present at a job briefing Snippy was participating in, would there still be sufficient time to do any work? Surely, no stone is left unturned by the end of the job briefing.
