Railroading in the US has been plagued in the past by alchohol and or drug use. All train service employees are now subject to manadatory drug and alchohol testing. These tests are often done randomly through computer selection. The governing standards are established by the Federal government. Now it seems the focus is on the use of personal electronic devices after a head on collision a few years ago in California. It was determined that one of the engineers had been texting prior to the collision.
Hmm, a nice cup of tea. We can't get that here in the US. For a good cup I have to visit family in Canada.
Best Wishes,
Joe
