This it stuff that is of no concern to the general public. I don't think but 
more than 
a handful of this list are employees, and they are the only ones that should 
be
touching a cutting lever.  Putting out these 800 numbers to the public is not 
a good
idea. One screwball making crank phone calls to a dispatcher or the Railroads 
Police Department can really turn off non railfan employees big time.  This 
got out of hand on the River Line a few years back with railfans calling in 
bogus problems with 
passing trains so that they would be stopped by the dispatcher.  It also can 
infuriate a Conductor that has to walk 100 cars in two directions for 
nothing.  It made a lot of employees very hateful of railfans.  A case of a 
few bad apples spoiling it
for a lot of other people.

Memos on this subject are a week old, and it all stemmed from one report out 
west.
AND AGAIN.  NO, ERIE LACKAWANNA CONTENT.

Thank You
Bob
