Put your flags up safely!

Earlier today on WEEKEND PHOTO FUN I posted photos of flags being placed on locomotives for the 4th of July Holiday Weekend. One astute individual noted:

"serious safety violations. No high visibility vests, no hard hats, no second person holding the ladder and no overpaid Amtrak supervisor..."

Concerns were heard. Committee appointed with union and management representation. Reccomendations made and adopted.

Here is the original photo and two recent ones showing the changes that have been made.

Remember: safety first!

Once again, thanks to all the great OGR readers for help. A blue flag set has been ordered from NJ International. I had no idea they were available. Look for them in use on future maintenance activities.

For this weekend, I just made do with putting a strip of blue tape across my Legacy Cab-2.

More flags went up this morning on the TCA Bicentennial Special. Now an FRA observer was present. Blue tape remained on all Cab-1, Cab-2, and Cab 1-L controllers.
