It had a lot to do with "bags" that NS used to hand out to train crews because NS refused to supply bathrooms or breaks. Something like that. I heard they handed out buckets and bags before every trip.This toilet crisis was the first time I ever heard the "Nazi" term being used in relation to NS. As you mentioned, the real source of ire were the bags because not only did they have to be signed out before a shift, but had to be RETURNED at the end of shift, FULL or empty. Many felt the poop drop-offs to be humiliating and degrading - but a few considered it a great way to give the RR some ***T back!
In my book the name fits with stories like that!
