I agree with the thoughts of some others that a one man crew scenario could work provided the following: 1.  There absolutely has to be a backup of some kind - video assistance from the home base comes to mind - where constant feedback aids in detecting operational anomolies. 2.  Automation should be the primary operational dynamic, with the one man crew acting more as an on board monitor rather than the de facto driver.  With automation it is possible for the crew member to take those occassional breaks without having to stop the train. 3.  Regardless, the feds should only allow one man operations under scheduled conditions, not call up conditions.  Fatigue issues are bad enough with two man crews, thus a separate set of working rules for one man crews to ensure full rest and physical replenishment of the one man crew member.
