NS derailment in Illinois

Word is the crew was doing a roll by when the passing train derailed. They were covered in molten sulfur. I refuse to get on the ground for roll bys moving forward. It's the stupidest thing they expect of us. A proper roll by performed by a qualified mechanical person is to be done no more than 10mph. And they want us on the ground observing trains on the main at track speed? Insanity and malicious.

๐Ÿ’ฏ agree with this Nick. Itโ€™s an accident waiting to happen because of what the carrier wants us to do. Iโ€™m with you at least we are safer in the locomotive versus being on the ground as anything can happen.
