<font face="Arial Black"></font id="Arial Black"> I saw a local CSX train go by yesterday (6/21/04) about 30 miles west of Boston. From my vantage point I was able to see into the cab of both engines. In the first cab were two people and in the second, one person sitting where the engineer would sit. Is that person in training or are there other functions that that person is responsible for? <br /> <br />I have seen this also a few other times in which in a multi engine consist, a person is at the controls of one of the other engines, so I will ask the question again, but slightly differently, is that person usually along for the ride, or are they working? <br /> <br />Bill Warner (ww)
