The Moral of the Story

Quote:

Good news: It was a normal day in Sharon Springs , KS, 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 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 higher-ups but were instructed not to move the train. They were instructed “The Rules” prohibit moving the train when a part is defective!

The moral of the story - Don't let common sense get in the way of a good disaster!

man - thats some thing.

yep
got to stick to them rules!

they get thier money out of it!

could be that train was going to be retire and they going to get some more money out of it

see that is why you don't listen to "higher ups"

You do, otherwise you lose your job. Idiot bosses though.

bet that cost a lot of $$$$$$$$$$$ to clean up
