[quote user="tree68"][quote user="SRen"] Why hasn't anyone pointed out the fact that having passenger train engineers working alone in a locomotive cab is a recipe for disaster? [/quote]There's a reason why many states ban teens from driving with other teens in the car - they aren't paying attention to the road.Who's to say that the two people in the cab might not get into a spirited discussion of sports, politics, what-have-you?  Are they paying attention to the road?  Not if they're trying to make their point!There's a reason why airport shuttle trains don't have collisions.  None of those that I've seen can - they either run alone or on separate tracks.  The one I've seen that had two trains running on a shared track ran on the same drive cable.  Only a broken cable could possibly allow them to be in the same place at the same time.  [/quote] There is a big difference between airport shuttle systems that are designed for automated operation and single track railroad lines operating with both frieght and Passenger trains of three different carriers (Union Pacific, Amtrak, and Metrolink).  As for having spirited discussions while not watching were they are going well I supose that is possible but I believe that profissional railroaders would put aside their differences when it comes to calling out signals.
