[:-^] With all the stories of ( bottom lines ) and incidents of board room cartoons, the one sticks in mind is the Engineer who tried to save the wooden trestle from a fire. A molten hot bearing was found 2 or 3 freight cars behind the engines . Engineer or conducter called dispatch while crossing trestle. Dispatch said " stop" and engineer said he had to cross over the trestle to get burning car on road bed. Disp. would not hear of that . Engineer said trestle will burn. Disp. said " rules are rules stop" HEH HEH . Crew bailed . Trestle and engines along with a number of cars up in fire. ~~~~ Wonder how much that cost the Head shed. Common sense was overruled by Hmmmmm. Did heads roll for that??
