About 10 years ago I watched a congressional hearing on C-span regarding a derailment in Louisiana.The engineer testified that he was not running the train when it derailed-it was his wife-he wasn't even conscious when the derailment occured.She accompanied him on many of his assignments and she eventually learned some train handling skills.He would drink beer/liquor and she ran the train.While waiting for our freight to get a green signal at the junction one night,my train hopping friends and I saw the conductor tip back a beer.
