As far as my 3 seasons on the Loop goes ,no passenger stock ever went daisy picking. There was only 1 occasion when we did have to re-rail stock, but that was due to a fixed position flop over derail out on the Hall sideing doing its job when a B.O.(Bad Order) drop bottom Gon pushed its chalks out of the way and rolled back about 10 feet. Even with all the preventative maintaince in the world, any number of things can happen to put cars on the ground without any warning.
