A train cannot move if there
are no rails for it to travel upon. How well-laid are the rails of your
organization's train?
We've all seen the long
freight trains that pass by late at night blaring their horns as they
pass by crossings along the country or city side. They glide lightly
along the well-placed rails that act as the guiding tool, helping it
to move towards its destination.
We've also seen those disasterous
moments when the train derails due to unsturdy rails. The ramifications
from that crash sends reverberations through the entire train, often
knocking several cars - and people - off their bases and causing abundant
chaos and damage.
The rails determine the
smoothness of the ride. The more well-anchored it is, the more quiet
and less bumpy the ride will be. If the rails are lightly bolted and
rarely used, the ride will be bumpy and full of risk. No one wants to
ride on a train that wobbles and makes crickety noises throughout their
journey. For that matter, no one wants to be part of the crew, as they
know that if the train goes down, so do they.
Are you laying the railbeds
on solid ground, tightly bolted and well-kept?
