It is weird to me that a railroad would use a fly ball governor as they weren't used on steam locomotives.Governor's like this were used on stationary & traction steam engines. Sorry, I have worked around steam most all of my working life.
Don't mean to confuse the issue.
I have a J.R.& Sons 5/8 "For Heavy Beards" that has turned into a great razor. Very hard steel!

That shows how much most of the office people know about how the business actually runs and uses!

I've never seen a train with a flyball on it either, that's what the engineer is for.
However, most people seem to equate flyball govenors with steam locomotives.
Of course, most people also think that you can slit your own throat with a straight razor too.
