Look up "featherbedding."
I'm fully aware of "featherbedding" but they did have actual duties, which is what I'm asking about.
tree68 SD70Dude On units like the GG1 with poor visibility having a second person on the opposite side of the cab greatly helped with seeing signals. We have a second person in the cab when running long hood forward. With the many curves on our line, there are times all the engineer can see is the oncoming forest... A second set of eyes, as it were.

A "second set of eyes" would be good on all locomotives would they not?
