David Fink, President Trump’s nominee to oversee rail safety in the U.S., was questioned Tuesday about his own safety record as former head of a railroad.
Thank goodness. Trump is finally a pres who understands safety and love for people of USA. 2-person crews are so important. TRUMP!
Doesn’t do any good to require 2 crew members on a train if one is passed out for 8 hours. Maybe they should be accountable for safety and look into that. Most freight trains are operating with one alert crew member who is essentially doing everything already.
Having an extra crew member to alert if things go wrong, even if they’re sleeping, is better than not having any backup at all.
