On the bredas, it requires the twostep movement. And what we found, several years ago, is that operators could not do that movement quickly and reliably in the face of an immediate danger. So we went through a very big campaign. It was titled, you know, the mushroom is not poisonous. The mushroom is your friend. We basically invested all of this training and muscle memory for our operators to hit that emergency button. I am not willing to try to ask our operators to modify that muscle memory, whether or not theyre in a breda or an lrv4. Were continuing to emphasize pushing the mushroom for saf...

Of going through our train washer, the way the cameras were sealed with an exterior gasket, was not holding up to our washers. And that was something that shouldnt have been designed in a more robust way. All of the gaskets were replaced again under warranty. So that we didnt have water in the cameras.

Morning, everyone. The committee will come to order. Were here to examine the deferred maintenance needs of the public Land Management agencies. This is a topic i care about. I know each of you certainly, the folks on this committee, have expressed concern. Not just coming into this hearing today, but, really, over the years. When we consider deferred maintenance, we most commonly think of the 12 billion maintenance backlog accrued by the National Park service. We consider that here in the committee at great length and it rightfully continues to attract a great deal of national attention. But ...
