Stay on the Concrete Path: A Rail Boss Walks His Crew Out the Safe Way

A rail operations supervisor, dead set against anyone cutting across live track, personally shepherded a crew back the way they came in.

At 8:50 AM, a rail operations supervisor keyed up over a crew near the track, blunt about the one thing he wasn't going to allow. "Get Chris down there because I don't want him to go across the track," he said, "because it's going to happen." Then, to unit 312: "stay on the concrete path."

The situation, by his own telling, was already handled — but the principle wasn't up for debate. "The fire was okay, but I didn't want to see any of them going down the track, so I had to walk them out on the same way that they walk out." Somewhere on the wire, a colleague agreed: "Yeah, that's what I suggested."
