. You could follow anyone around for a day with a camera and find them doing
something wrong. 

Many of the N&W remember a group of so-called "efficiency experts" that came
on the property in 1976.  This Proudfoot group would time every function the  employee
did and would then show management how much time was being wasted.  N&W
had some experienced tariff specialists that reviewed retired waybills to deter-
mine that the (one and only) correct  rate had been applied.  An experienced rate
man working in the Zone Revision Bureau could bring in an additional $2,000/day
in revenue and once it was determined that the origin station was using the wrong
rate, it put up a flag to watch subsequent waybills.  Since the experts couldn't
see these people were actively engaged, the rate experts were cut off.  But
one of the male clock-watcher was assigned to record the functions of a female
working in the General Offices.  When she went to the ladies room . . . .he did too.
