In light of the recent accidents in the San Antonio area, we have been informed that FRA is planning a testing blitz with plans to check Radio Rules, Signal Rules, Speed, Haz-Mat, Cardinal Safety Rules, Headlight and Ditch rules. It is imperative that all members use their BLET Safety First Quick Reference Guide along with their BLET Safety First performance Guide as a check list to ensure proper rule compliance. Let the focus of this blitz lead them to the real culprit in this tragedy, Union Pacific Railroad. Let's NOT give them a scape goat on which to pin the blame.
