Burkhardt Shrugged

Montreal Gazette: 
Edward Burkhardt, chief executive officer of Rail World Inc., which owns the MMA, defended the use of a one-person crew during his visit to Lac-Mégantic Wednesday, saying, "We actually think one-man crews are safer than two-man crews because there’s less distraction." .
 One-man crews safer than two-man crews? Dagny Taggart would smile.
