yarrow
Engineer
on our recent trip on the legendary canadian our sca from winnipeg to toronto designated yarrow the "able bodied person" for our car. he showed him how to open the door and let down the steps, explained how to break out windows with the hammer and place clothing on the jagged glass left before exiting and other emergency procedures all with the caveat "don't do any of this unless i tell you to". we had the same sca toronto to winnipeg and as we boarded he said "good, i've got my able bodied person". i did see him training another fit young person in another car and he even let him operate the door and steps at one of our stops. is designating an able bodied person to help with evacuation standard procedure on via or the canadian as part of emergency preparedness?
