I don't like the idea at all even though I am retired now and won't be affected by it. The main reason is that it does away with engineer's jobs, not to mention the safety concerns. I feel sorry for the yard forman having to lug that piece of crap around and do everything himself. I would'nt trade places with those guys. I don't even like the idea of one man in the cab on some of these Amtrak and Commuter trains but that's another issue. How about running backwards from a cab car? Only a little metal between you and the world. Don't like that either but these companies have gotten away with all this stuff in the name of progress regardless of being unsafe.
