I love how the paper quoted CSX saying "Safety is our number one priority"
I don't think the paper fully believes in the railroad

Holy crap that's closer to being gone then the washout they were worried about south of town last year. The engineering gang found it, I would think the last engineer thru would have seen it after going across it?
Re: CSX Grand Rapids Sub Open Again After Washout.
Maybe they looked at an annual report. In the 2017 report financial reporting starts on page one with James Foote's opening remarks. Safety statistics are back on page 47.Saturnalia wrote:I love how the paper quoted CSX saying "Safety is our number one priority"

And how do you ASSUME what the paper FELT about safety first? Or is that something between the lines I didn't catch...?Saturnalia wrote:I love how the paper quoted CSX saying "Safety is our number one priority"

I agree with the Doctor. I read nothing in the article that indicated the reporter felt that CSX was indifferent to the risk.Doktor No wrote:And how do you ASSUME what the paper FELT about safety first?

I assume the editor asked the reporter to insert a quote from the source to provide credibility to the story. If I recall correctly, that is called journalism.

Piles and piles of stone on the south side of the bridge by the signal.
