Rules are Rules – AND DON’T YOU FORGET IT!!!

- 16 June 2013, 07:06

“The ones that don’t question the rules end up making rules.”

 

 

 

 

Begin forwarded message:

The Good news:
It was a normal day in Sharon Springs, Kansas, when a Union Pacific crew boarded a loaded coal train for the long trek to Salina.

 

 

The Bad news:
Just a few miles into the trip a wheel bearing became overheated and melted, letting a metal support drop down and grind on the rail, creating white hot molten metal droppings spewing down to the rail.

The Good news:
A very alert crew noticed smoke about halfway back in the train and immediately stopped the train in compliance with the Governmental Regulations.

The Bad news:
The train stopped with the hot wheel over a wooden bridge with creosote ties and trusses. When the crew tried to explain to higher-ups they needed to move the train, they were instructed not to move the train because Federal Regulations prohibit moving the train when a part is defective.

The pictures tell the rest…. As always, the Government knows what is best for us!

REMEMBER, RULES ARE RULES!

Don’t ever let common sense get in the way of a Government Regulation.

It’s always a scary day when the government is in charge!

Und sie sitzen auch bei uns wieder am Werk: in Bern an der Sommersession!

 

Reminds me of when I was younger. I was asked in school and elsewhere for that matter that great rhetorical question:
“Just who do you think you are to question the rules???”
The ones that don’t question the rules end up making rules like this.
