Subject: Fw: Always follow the stupid Rules
|
The Good
news:
It was a normal day in
Sharon Springs , Kansas , when a Union Pacific crew boarded a loaded
coal train for the long trek to Salina
...
The Bad
news:
Just a few miles into the trip,
a wheel-bearing became overheated, and
melted, letting a metal support drop
down and grind on the rail,
creating white hot molten-metal
droppings spewing down to the rail.
The Good
news:
A very alert crew noticed smoke
about halfway back in the train, and
immediately stopped the train in
compliance with the Union Pacific
Safety
Rules.
The Bad
news:
The train stopped with the hot
wheel over a wooden bridge, with
creosote ties and
trusses.
The
crew tried to explain to CEO 'Higher-Ups', but were
instructed NOT to move the
train !
They were
instructed 'The Rules
Book' prohibits
moving
the train when a part is defective !

Have a Great Day!
