Article mentioned that the crew was to blame for the accident as they were not protecting the workers as the should have. That's the reason for the punishment. That doesn't hold too much water given the court results. The flagman provided the proper protections that he was supposed to. Conductor fl...

Another "I'll believe it when I see it..."

If its true, so much for the "switch to nowhere" at SUSCON.

With Njt's five year plan to scrap all the single levels will there even be any of the older locomotives left? I ask this under the assumption that only the pl42s and the dual modes can haul multilevels... Source on your theory of scrapping the single levels? It's not a theory: http://www.njtvonlin...

It would be impossible and a waste of time and effort to enforce a personal ban from the property for one person.

I was assaulted when I was still in uniform a few years back. Both the company and the state attorney general showed little interest in the event. The only thing that helps this employees cause is that I received media attention. Mine occurred on St. Patrick's Day... just another drop in the bucket....
