Re: QR okay for Y2K

[Michael <mk@netstra.com.au>]

Unless the locos are NR's or anything else recent, I dont think it will be 
much of a problem for them.

As far as I know, all diesel fuels, diesel engines and traction motors were 
Y2K compliant (Unless they have a co-incidental fault causing them to fail 
at 00:00:00 on January 1, 2000).

I also believe drivers are Y2K compliant, unless they demand unreasonable 
penalties for the new years eve because they can't spend it celebrating, 
and as a result resigning or being terminated. Round wheels shouldn't 
really be a Y2K issue either.

Passengers will mostly be Y2K compliant, except for the ones who will turn 
psycho at the rollover time, and either kick the bucket or get shot out of 
madness.

As for the NR's and any other computer controlled locomotive, i'm not too 
sure. I doubt any of the critical systems affecting the running of these 
locmotives will rely on a date at all. 

:-)

Sarcastic Regards,
Michael.
