To avoid any ambiguity, I felt it best to post the FEDERAL Statute regarding Drawbridges (specifically RR Drawbridges) over navigatable waters. More specifically AMTRAK Drawbridges.
You see, It looks like the (getting) 'ol BEAR has a 99.9 % chance of being the successful bidder(Like in a UNION Job bidding system) for vacated positions.
Now I'll be FORCED to SIT DOWN for 8 hours in a comfortable chair to meticulously moniter a radio from the area dispatcher for instuctions to Close the bridge to allow encroaching trains to traverse over the River, then re-open it to marine craft. (PUSH a BUTTON to Close, PUSH a BUTTON to open)
In the interim, the operator can
1. Sun himself high above the river in another chair up on the walking ledge of the control house
2, Watch TV
3. READ publications (newspapers magazines etc.)
4. Talk on the phone to younger blonde girlfriend.
5. Bring girlfriend up to the bridgehouse(and LOCK the DOOR) !!!!
6. Go Fishing
7. Watch interesting things on laptop.
8. Watch the scantily clad 'scenary' stretched out on the bow(s) of the bigger boats as they slowly pass by.
9. STAY at work for 8 HOURS of OVERTIME if not relieved. (FEDERAL LAW)
10. Call in SICK immediately AFTER earning 8 hours of mandatory Overtime.
You know ..'southwindBAG,......it's a TOUGH Job, but someone has to do it !!!!!!!!!!!!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha !!!!!!!!!!!!
