DEFECT REPORTING

The problem of engineers' defect work reports, relating from trouble in having crews furnish them, maintenance people using them properly and correcting items reported on them, and other related problems associated with work reports, has been one of controversy for many years. Engineers do not always seem to appreciate the task of furnishing work or defect reports and yet an intelligent work report has no limit as to the valuable information it can furnish the maintenance man and the railroad.
