Re: Track Spacing

Jeez, Mr PRSL, you need to get out and observe the real world once in awhile! Nobody should ride the side of equipment? If you're going to shove a cut 2 or 3 miles to a spot, your brakeman ain't gonna walk it! Getting on or off of moving equipment? Happens everyday. Doesn't mean it's right, but it is what it is. The quickest way to bring a railroad dang near to a standstill is to obey every rule in the book to the letter. Generally isn't long before the local yardmaster or MTO wants to know why nothing is moving. White handrails and step edges generally appear just after the STB inspector leaves. Again, there's the perfect world, then there's the real world.
