"The Federal Railroad Administration found during its checks that between 13% and 15% of all the cars still had defects after they were inspected by the railroads. But most of the problems federal inspectors found then weren’t the kind of thing that would cause a derailment. The most common issues the railroads missed were things like bent hand rails workers use when climbing on cars."

This may sound like a dumb question, I'm going to ask anyway. The claim for performing a class 1 air test says while to submit when cars forces are available on property. My question is, if we put this claim in and the carman was performing an air test on other cars or repairing something, will that be a way the carrier gets away with this? Or should we put this claim in no matter what when the carman is on duty and on property?
