Rule #1 -- Don't get hurt.     Safety is the first priority. Er, or is it the second, after money.... Or the third after getting the trains out....

Name: E-mail: Employed as: Conductor, for 1-10 years Posted: 22 February 2012 I mean OSHA says it right in print... they were fired so Norfolk Southern could pretend to be something they're not and collect the EJ Harriman Award. CSX hired Ingram and Brown to do the same at CSX. CSX got 2nd place. They sent out the hit list on anyone they chose or was injured at work no matter how slight or even if it was a rumor. These newly Indoctrinated Trainmasters breathe all the vaporware of Brown and Ingram for termination of employees. Now both are gone. Ward hired them and CSX should have to payout to the victims. I wonder how long Ward will be at CSX? View This Article

Name: Pointspread Pauper E-mail: Employed as: Other, non-employee, for N/A Posted: 22 February 2012 Hello Oli Retired, You can ascertain for yourself whether Suzannah is restricting her "points of discussion" to areas that have been fully vetted and are not in dispute. Once she ventures outside that "safe box" she then has to address the sociopathy of the rail corporate officials. The question that would interest the residents of Cameron Station, VA is have the railroads financed a non-profit organization (Operation: Lifesaver) designed to dishonestly propagandize or influence Judges and potential jury pools? Do you care to join in this discussion? We can analyze it from the New York Times Pulitzer Prize Winning Piece and also intuit matters from the misconduct of CSX at rail crossing accident scenes... ... I mean a "sociopath" is a "sociopath"; no conscience - no yesterdays;no tomorrows If they did what they did to silence Dave Nelson and ended up admitting tp what Nelson maintained they were involved in COUPLED WITH their conduct in swapping out parts at accident scenes and THEN THE JUDGE who was assigned to rule on a rail crossing accident scene said he would empanel a Grand Jury if he found out that Operation: Lifesaver engaged in any conduct like that again... ... then why the heck are BOTH you & Suzannah still beating the path with driver carelessness. The Elephant in the Room is corporate support for a non-profit propaganda tool acting inappropriately to influence court cases, correct? View This Article

Pines has a loss to deal with until he passes himself. As for pauper,who knows. Like you said yourself, this topic has been posted on here for the last 5 years. Last time I saw you we were at a meeting in Indianapolis. I took the last peice of chocolate cake.(That should jog your memory. HA!) I too like you thought I could make a difference but found out that to do so would take up all my spare time and money. Putting up extra warning signs would be a good idea if it would actually work. As nomo and some of the others have said, people are people. You could put up a flashing neon sign that says "caution, gates may not be working" and people would still miss it. Distracted by something else or not, they would still miss it. You said it earlier. You witnessed people flying across the tracks without giving you a second glance until they were right in front of you. I did alittle research in the past about the same idea. The red tape was crazy. Who is going to design the signs,pay for production and install them. And lets not forget getting approval from the city. Unless you have alot of free time and money you are going to have to leave it to the political powers to be. I have since retired from ol due to family reasons. Dont let anyone ever make you feel bad about the hard work and effort that you put out for the children. I guarentee you one of those children will remember what you told them. View This Article

So take some personal accountability for the stuff that is being reprinted and quit blaming others for your own shortcomings in a bleeding heart liberal "victimization" motif.

It's obvious that you and your masters at CSX who you shill for all need to be seated in an auditorium (smack dab in the middle between Octomom and that Manhattan welfare recipient who has had her 18th welfare check baby).... ...and all of you CSX Corporate Executives feeling that you are "the victims" be forced to listen to that speech on "personal accountability" by Comedian Bill Cosby that always gets Jesse Jackson & the Reverend Al Sharpton so angry at him. Quit evading the answers and there will be no need to reprint; pick yourself up by your bootstraps... ..answer your most recent evasion: HERE IS WHAT YOU MOST RECENTLY FLED FROM: ____________________________________________________________________ ...and the instant that you are compelled to stop the evasions/sidestepping, it annihilates the thesis behind your stated positions. ...I mean people are truly sick if they fire employees who obey the law and their consciences so that that Norfolk Southern can PROUDLY STAND & BEAM to collect an EJ Harriman award for "lowest workplace injuries, correct? ...who then are the "miscreants" and if your laser-like introspection enabled you to intuit my motives based on your interpretation of the contents of my postings THEN WHY DID THAT very same laser-like introspection suddenly fail you when it came to adducing from "findings of fact" or "dicta" what transpired in the OSHA record?

The reason you stick only to "railroad crossing accident" where drivers are at fault %95+ of the time is that when you move out of that "safe zone" of discussion into areas of MUCH MORE material importance such as REGULATORY VIOLATIONS and TERMINATING EMPLOYEES who obey the law and their consciences... ...you then move out of the "safe zone" into arenas of "public policy formation" that you can't answer to.. ..precisely because CSX has no acceptable defense for their conduct themselves...

So trying to pass yourself as some sort of genius is a waste of time. Quit trying to compensate for your lack of education by using terms like "sociopathy" and dropping the names of people you will never know. I'm surprised the NS would hire you...you may just be a foamer that can't get hired. However, with your obvious high level of education and your network of high profile doers and shakers, you'll have no problem finding gainful employment...or are you waiting for a "Whistle Blower" award?

As for OLI, I am quite aware of their agenda. I was involved with the program for several years. I chose to speak to children and not adults because adults are just that...adults. Children on the other hand are innocent and naive. My classes revolved completley around the hazards of playing on and around the tracks and the dangers that are involved when they lay things on the tracks just to see the train hit them.NO PROPAGANDA involved. It does no good to preach to pre-schoolers on how their parents drive. They dont understand....So you said if I had any questions you would be glad to help? Im going to assume that you worked in the field. Got any ideas? Oh RRJ, Thankyou for being the only one who understood my original question! You are truly the genius on here! View This Article

The garbage truck that just went by had 5 bright yellow strobe lights going. The reason the lights strobe is because peoples eye balls notice the hazard better. Did you know peoples eyeballs even move or you live in a tunnel? That way they don't have to turn their heads 90 degrees to look left or right to be seeing. Try it --it will save your neck muscles. Parents should really have a problem with some nitwit instructing their kids on safety that gets on a train with no brakes and steering and floors it. Does OLI like keep a those in attendance list the railroad can use later? I myself never would sign those lists because the dips reading out of some manual didn't know paste wax from apple butter. It takes like 8/10ths of one second at 20 mph to get through the red zone of a train and there you are blocking the sight lines. http://calculateme.com/Speed/MilesperHour/ToFeetperSecond.htm Take the feet per second and divide by 10. A 80 mph train covers a 23.4 foot wide crossing in 2/10ths of second. The other way it is the red zone of the tracks 4 feet + 4 feet + 4' 6 1/2" (Say 13 feet) + length of vehicle (say a 12 foot long vehicle.) So a 12 foot long vehicle @ 20 mph in one second goes 29 feet. View This Article

There is no benefit in a personal attack on you. You can deliberate on what I have to say (that I KNOW to be fact) or, you can choose to simply ignore it. I don't really care either way. You spent 100's of hours using a propaganda tool on little children. Before you get all ticked off, let me explain how it works. The objective is to get the little children to jump their parents when they go through ANY crossing, guarded or not. "Daddy you trying to kill us?)In fact the parent is not required to stop but, the little kiddies don't know that. The parents also not knowing any better feel guilty. From this point on the parents will use this propaganda tool on everyone they come in contact with. They read of a crossing accident and automatically assume the driver was at fault. They serve on jury duty with a predetermined driver GUILTY. By your taking the approach that all drivers are at fault you are actually protecting the railroads. Think about this carefully. If you have questions I will be happy to try and answer. If your thought continues to be the railroads are never at fault please don't respond to this post. I don't respond to negative posts. OH!
