Posted by kp5308 on Sun Apr 18 22:42:26 2010, in response to Re: PHOTOS: Staten Island ERA Trip, posted by Broadway Lion on Sun Apr 18 21:21:40 2010. One must ask if he is just making it short and sweet for a foamerNo. He was not responding to a specific question from a "foamer". He did go into detail on several points about SIRT not needing to be FRA compliant on his own. Now since I believe the SIRT to be a safely operated railroad by serious professionals I didn't pay too much attention to the particular points discussed since that is not my particular interest. I can tell you the ride was smooth (as in the cars brakes were not stopping the engine) & there were plenty of SIRT operating personell on the trip. I also believe no rules governing operation of the special were violated. The only experience I have with all this is the Reading Tech trips operated for several years between Temple & Hamburg PA. ALL our vehicles (locomotives & cars) were in compliance with the governing rules applicable to the operation of said trips & operated by crews fully qualified to run on the line we travelled. I know Andy Muller, owner of the track we ran on wouldn't have it any other way & I believe SIRT is no different. |
