Flutterby™! : As I watch the looming rail strike

As I watch the looming rail strike where workers are asking for 4 sick days (currently ), I'm reminded of an overspeed accident where I commented that for a couple of hundred bucks per unit you could do in-cab warnings, and was told that I didn't understand.

At the time, of course, the trucking industry was doing it. I was helping. But the rail industry is all "oh, no, we're stuck in the 1800s and on ultra thin margins and can't spend on safety".
