No one is throwing them under the bus. I pointed out three people had
to be involved the train crew, employee in charge of the 707, and the
train dispatcher. All this info on here is hear-say nothing more.
Unfortunately it's usually the train crew that takes the hit. It's
always been that way nothing new. Still people have to use common sense
if times frames exceed the norm then calling the EIC is the safe course
the other is to stop the train before entering if contact can't be
made. I can't imagine taking an hour to clear a 707. Again that's
hear-say. There are limitations that need to be adherd to one can't
just assume.
