| To: RR Fay | RE: Creditability | December 16, 1999 |
Mr. Fay, one more time your officers have demonstrated to me there is not one shred of creditability or integrity on the BNSF.
On Monday December 13, 1999 a dogcatch/deadhead crew was called out of Vancouver, WA with instructions on the call slip. (Attached)
ON DUTY AT VANCOUVER, WA. AT 1930 D/H C/S TO WISHRAM
HANDLE UROOEVE1-13A TO VANCOUVER, WA.
RIDE HAS BEEN CALLED.
PER T/M CHRIS DELARGY DONT USE UROOEVE1-13A TRAIN SYMBOL...
As you know on Mondays the assigned garbage train crews are on rest days and the U-ROOEVE1-13A would be at Roosevelt WA.
When the crew got to Wishram, WA the conductor called the Dispatcher for instructions. Conductor Leeling was instructed to go to Roosevelt, WA to get his train. Only after the crew protested was a new call slip generated that showed the crew deadheading Vancouver to Roosevelt. (Attached)
Mr. Fay the Chief Dispatcher and Terminal Manager Delargy knew the crew would have to deadhead to Roosevelt to get the train. The Chief and Terminal Manager also knows there is an extraboard and short pool at Wishram which means Vancouver extraboards can not work east of Wishram. Not to mention 4 years of past practice of Vancouver/Pasco long pool at Pasco handling this work.
Mr. Delargy did accomplish his task, when you do a inbound report of U-ROOEVE1-13A at Vancouver there is no record. Which is strange there can be a outbound record for the train going north to Seattle but no record of the train getting to Vancouver.
Mr. Fay what will become of the BNSF when there is no more money for stock buy backs and managers run out of ways to steam the records.
