FW: Rules Are Rules....Eh??

Bureaucrats will never take a decision and hence keep on quoting rules.

 

 

This is an excellent E mail reflecting Bureaucracy  in large organization.

 

 

See the Photos of the Accident at the end of the mail  

Good news: It was a normal day in Sharon Springs , Kansas , when a Union Pacific crew boarded a loaded coal train for the long trek to Salina              Bad news: Just a few miles into the trip a wheel bearing became overheated and melted, letting a metal support drop down and grind on the rail, creating white hot molten metal droppings spewing down to the rail.   Good news: A very alert crew noticed smoke about halfway back in the train and immediately stopped the train in compliance with the rules Bad news: The train stopped with the hot wheel over a wooden bridge with creosote ties and trusses.   The crew tried to explain this to Union Pacific higher-ups but were instructed not to move the train!   They were informed that Rules prohibited moving the train when a part was found to be defective! 'REMEMBER, RULES Are RULES!' Don't ever let common sense get in the way of a good Disaster

Most Bureaucrats do not use their head, perhaps there is nothing there in there.
