Railroads Enforce Temperance Rules On Off Duty Employees
The Northwestern Christian Association surveyed nineteen railroads to learn how they discipline intoxication among staff. Most roads ban off duty drinking and require temperate behavior, with penalties including discharge for habitual intoxication. Several lines, including Baltimore and Ohio and Chicago and Eastern Illinois, prohibit intoxication entirely and monitor personal conduct, while others promote temperance through employee standards and associations at terminals. The piece argues enforcement serves public safety more than revenue.
