About Me  | A Conductor, Train Yard And A GoosePosted 18-Mar-08 21:44:24 GMT Updated 18-Mar-08 21:45:28 GMT In case you were wondering what happens when a train conductor in the train yard crosses a goose... Well, you go to court to sue your employer! Here's the story, apparently, this conductor was performing a brake test (about three years ago) at the train yard. And out jumps a goose which struck the "plaintiff" and causing him to fall. The man is suing for loss of earning, future earning capacity and loss of enjoyment of life. Now, I don't know how seriously injured the man was from a goose attack but working in a train yard is fraught with peril. There are extremely heavy equipment and objects lying around. And the best this guy can find is a nesting goose? How exactly is the employer responsible for THAT? I'm sure he was medically insured but suing above and beyond for a disgruntled goose? How exactly does this guy hold his head up high, look at the jury in the eyes and demand extra compensation for being attacked by a goose? Maybe it's me but I think this world is getting a little crazy here... What do you guys think? Your temporarily insane conductor... John P.S. Remember, if you are not in the garage operating your Model Steam Train, quite frankly you just aren't living... :-)
