    I worked for for the railroad. Nothing is fixed ever. I witnessed hundreds of code violations every day for years. Doesn’t matter if a rail car or locomotive meets code as long as it “can travel” its good to go.

    When an employee inspector finds a defective rail car management determines if it will get fixed. If the supervisor “feels” like “it’s not that bad” then the rail car is “let go”.

      US? Or somewhere else? Not saying that it doesn’t happen other places just curious.

        The use of ‘railroad’ instead of ‘railway’ would seem to indicate American English

          There’s three ways to do a job. The right way, the wrong way, and the rail way. Also it was the great white north!
