You say most PAR hoggers do not know how to use Dynamic Brakes-I say they do.
You say there is no formal training program for it-I agree, but at one point there was, whether casual or formal.
You said, "I have heard they are actually being disconnected in many of the units because not many PAR hoggers know how to use them anyhow" You said that,that is a FACT. Now you are denying it. Then you said "Prior to getting lease power the only trains you would ever have dynamic brakes on were coal trains" Now you are saying you did not say that, or you say "that was a long time ago". Are you for real? I don't want to continue this argument, either.
Do you always have to be right about everything, even though you have clearly been proven wrong? I don't know how you can somehow think you are superior to everyone else on this forum, simply because you work for CSX. Somehow you are a "real" railroader, and anyone who works for GTI/PAR is not. Think about this. While you are sitting there gliding along in your computerized locomotive, marvelling in all the gadgetry and modern tecnology,you are no more of a railroader than a subway car driver, anyone can run one of those computerized gizmos. We out on PAR are doing it the old fashioned way,by the seat of our pants and a regulating valve, and some duct tape, where you really have to know your stuff to run a train, or switch cars. I see a lot of women on CSX, but not PAR. Why is that? BECAUSE WORKING FOR CSX IS EASIER!
Arguing with you about something on a railroad YOU don't work for is pointless, I don't care who you know.
(well over a dozen employees banding together to spread misinformation is not uncommon here, probably not on CSX either, or any railroad, for that matter) Ask ten different people a question, you will get ten different answers.
By the way, the Dynamics on the Lease units are not being disabled by PAR,some of them just showed up that way.
