This is the result of affirmative action and diversity quotas. No railroad maintenance inspector would dare question whether LeQuirvious Jackson greased the bearings on that freight truck axle before the train left the overhaul depot ...because he didn't want to be called racist.
Yeah, I know. I see the tracks that run by my workplace, and there's a reason the trains on them have to go dead slow.
The Winchester & Western RR was the last privately owned rail in America. They sold out a few years ago to ...C&O... or whomever bought out C&O. Short line. They still operate. But they've never been the same since they gave up steam and converted to diesel.
