Always follow the stupid Rules







 

 


Subject: Fw: Always follow the stupid Rules

 

 



 

 

 

 

'Rules Are
 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 !







REMEMBER...
 RULES ARE RULES!

Don't
EVER/NEVER let
 common sense get in the way of a good disaster!
