Glad to see there “intresting” events happening on other op sessions as of late. That really would have been priceless to see – must have been really moving by the time it became airborne….

This in my opinion is not the fault of the driver as the yard inspection crew are suppose to look for such problems and not the engineer!!! Had they of seen it they would have sent it to the shops to be repaired before the incident. Now rumour is that the journalist of this story is also a major share holder in the BS&T therefore leaving out some of the finer details. Talking with the Yard crew they are fed up with their working conditions as they are working 12 hour days and only getting paid for 9. The "Company has told them they would square up at a latter date but that has been years. They also said that They feel the owner is trying to blame the engineer as to take the spotlight off of what is going on with the yard employees. They are filling their complaints on Monday at Union Headquarters. AL The BS Times <strong><em>Granted, it is the fault of the yard crew. They should have inspected the train before it left Tidewater. Lets see who was the yard crew that put that train together? Ahhh.. yes, it was Derwin! Now you'll say that not only am I making my crews work long hours but I'm compounding the problem by making them work multiple jobs! You could be right. Scott PS - I think you forgot the "&T" - It should be BS&T Times. HA! Welllllllll…The way I see it the coupler failed on an incline causing the tail end of the train to roll back down the incline.

I would love to hear Derwin side of the story before i say anything. Don't think the union will be helping him. LOL <strong><em>Derwin's story would be all lies anyway. He always tries to blame things on everyone else when we know that whatever happens it's always his fault. No, the Union can't help him on this one. His salary will be docked accordingly.
