There are far too many railroads that would just as soon operate invisible and sound proof equipment.
The biggest drawback of a camel back (a/k/a; mother hubbards) was the isolation of the engineer, head end brakeman and fireman. If something happened to the fireman, there would be no way for the other crewmen to know until after the fact. The ICC banned new camel backs in the late '20s and limited the length of runs they could be assigned to as well. The last operating ones were Central of New Jersey's ten wheelers, which ran Jersey City-Raritan well into the mid '50s. The hazards like
A fair question, one which must weigh on the minds of Amtrak's brain trust, right now. BNSF will insist on charging Amtrak for all costs/expenses on this route.

It certainly was not for the squeamish! I haven't felt that way watching a video since the ball rolling through Buckner's legs and... Well, we'll always have 2004! I'd be willing to guess that that video was pulled- but a bit late- I'd bet that it has been subpoenaed by lawyers on both sides of the inevitable litigation to come.
Mr. Burns, Mission accomplished! Ah, sir... Hush, Smithers I know this slug up, just play along. Now then you-- run along and...(Homer leaves Mr. Burns' office in effort to catch an ice cream truck) Smithers? Yes sir? Fire that one. With pleasure sir.
