Second Engine Engineer - Deadheading or Working??

In operation of the engine under "revenue" service, the DOT mandates no passengers unless authorized and insured by owning entity. This applies to semi trucks. You could have a second driver for 24/7 work or a legally certified passenger such as a wife or child as long as insurance and company rules are followed. <br /> <br />On a train, I would imagine that the people work for the railroad. There may be a case where training was being done or a extra man was needed somewhere on the system etc. One possibility is that a friend or relation is given a quick hop from one spot to another. <br /> <br />Until you wrote about this, I never really gave a thought to how many people it takes to drive a train.
