    Driver Competencies

    Tom I can see your logic here, my question was more from a competency angle. I can see the logic in a fireman knowing how to stop a train in an...

    Driver Competencies

    I'm not sure what the mainline rule book says 'to the letter', but if the driver is incapacitated another driver would have to be found. There is...
