For safety" they say. But is It?
Government figures show definitely
that long trains mean greater safety to
railroad employees and public alike.
Then, If safety is not the real reason
what is the reason behind this demand?
It is to make more jobs which are not
needed-to get more payl This 'fniade
work" would be sheer udste. Think of big,
modern locomotives using only half their
power.
For this waste, you-the public-would
have to pay. Higher costs mean a lower
