     Hey Pathfinder! Glad to her it! We have a similar (dead man devise) known as an Alerter. Our's will start a controlled stop instead of an emergency stop. On or big trains, An emergency stop can actually cause a derailment. The Alerters can be programmed to go off 20 sec. to several minutes and can be a headache to hear non-stop for 12 hrs.
     I do take pride in my job, just the being on-call that sucks...

 Thanks for the explanation Cutter, I had not considered several of the things you mentioned.
Stinks that there are so few RailRoaders left, Seems like the Railroads USED to employ about half the population, But like true machinists, they seem to be a dying breed.
