   I understand the Florida East Coast, in the 1960s, used college students to   
   run the trains.  Union officials predicted disaster, but that never   
   happened.  In an era when anyone with a drivers license can, with 30 hours   
   instruction, fly a sports plane, it seems to me that offering training to   
   all employees who work for a RR how to run a train makes sense.  I bet all   
   the workers have a drivers license!!!
