Not sure about anyone else but the fra is on a 2 week blitz here in KC and they are hitting hard. Lack of maintenance is catching up quickly engine by engine and car car

What's time that UP expects a carman to inspect a car? It was somewhere between 1-2 minutes last I heard? Whatever it is it's unrealistic.
A UP C Suite exec probably couldn't manually check the air pressure in his tires on his Benz in 1-2 minutes if the dash display didn't already tell him...
FRA= fu----g joke
Love the FRA around….managers are all running like id--ts
The fra couldn’t find a defect if they tripped over it. Our local fra guy finds air ducts, DOT find oil on the walkways. That’s it, and that’s all they ever find. They’re either the worst trained inspectors around or they’re the laziest!
There is nothing stopping u men at 18st, from taking their complaints about being forced to overlook defects to their local chairman.
And their local chairman addressing those issues.
Where else in the LASU ? Are the raiding and inspecting trains and equipment?
The FRA is still at the GLSU doing a blitz there.
To the post about "Transportation Scabs" (nvm+1caEp5rU). Why is it that the FRA found more defects at Neff (KC) where the carmen still inspect, than they did at 18th St (KC) where the trainmen inspect? It's not volume, 18th St. has more volume. Be honest, trainmen and carmen alike do the same exact thing, they drive by and look out the window of the truck for obvious defects. They don't climb underneath and walk like the FRA inspectors. Stop lying to yourself.
It’s all a joke! Until they start punishing the transportation side, what’s the point? So they find all the bad orders that the transportation scabs didn’t find, and then expect the Carmen to fix all with 2 guys. FRA is a fraud
FRA and PUC will be alternating days in West Colton for the rest of the week. Been here since Monday. About time!
Make sure they hit Los Angeles Service unit.
We have some stuff for them to hit hard too.
Its not the pipe too!
So sad that we have to pay high taxes to fund a govt agency to force a huge wealthy company to properly and safely maintain their infrastructure and equipment.
