EDITORIAL COMMENT
The Pacific Southwest Railway Museum has come a long way since its beginning in 1960. Take a look at the equipment we have acquired, and the successful campaign to raise the funds necessary to accomplish these things.
Now that we have the equipment we are all eager to see it in action. This is fine, but don't forget the safety factor that is needed in this type of operation.
Above all think about this. Who is qualified to operate these steam locomotives? How many railroaders are in our number?
Rule "C" in the standard operating rule books used by railroads says that, "Employees must pass the required examinations." To meet this end it would be wise to cover the basic safety rules and have at least a familiarization class to acquaint us with the operation of the many items that we will come in contact with in locomotive operation.
Let's take the time at our meetings to take care of these instructional items. Let's go through the book of rules and find out what these safety rules are.
In other words it is better to be safe than sorry afterward.
