A DANGER TO PUBLIC
SAFETY
The
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers is warning California residents of
the potential dangers associated with Remote Controlled Train
Operations.
Locomotives are being operated without qualified and experienced
Locomotive
Engineers on board and are being controlled from a remote location by
insufficiently
trained and inexperienced railroad employees.
“On August 19th rail
commuters
in Northern California will be put in harms way as Union Pacific
Railroad
begins taking Federally Licensed and Certified Locomotive Engineers off
the trains in their San Jose, Oakland, Sacramento, and Roseville yard
operations”.
Union Pacific and
Burlington Northern-Santa
Fe railroads are currently implementing Remote Control Operations (RCO)
at many of their major switching terminals across the country.
Railroads
are major transporters of nuclear waste, hazardous materials and
chemicals.
These deadly materials will soon be handled by Remote Control in a
neighborhood
near you! Since implementing this new program the railroads have
experienced numerous accidents.
