The last line of your post is SO TRUE!!!!!I know many of the Amtrak and Metrolink engineers out here...and believe me, once they have enough seniority to stay off the Metrolink runs, they do. And they all cite the same reason..."the damn crossings, you're always blowing the horn and getting ready to jump out of the seat (when in a cab car). And recently, Metrolink instituted a rule that whenever the train is being operated from the cab car, the cab door MUST be closed. (In other words, slow the engineer down when they have to bail.) Used tobe they always had the cab door open...and the cab section of the cab car was roped off and closed to passengers. (It still is roped off, even with the closed cab door closes.) |
