Full Crew Hearings Set By IPSC
The Indiana Public Service Commission scheduled hearings on firemen on locomotives as railroads seek authority to eliminate crews on certain trains. The 1937 law requires an engineer and fireman on all locomotives and a conductor with two brakemen on trains outside yards, plus a third brakeman on trains over 69 cars. A 1972 amendment allows elimination if union agreements exist and safety is not affected. Judge Hold er issued permanent injunctions related to suits over the full crew law.
