Team drivers are common in the trucking industry and provide many service and economic benefits. Crews of tow boats on the inland waterways sign-on, I believe, for 30 day rotations. Why not team locomotive engineers? Provide the necessary amenities for sleeping, eating and communicating; appropriate training and information for operating safely and efficiently over the assigned route; all requisite agreements for bidding on assignments, frequency and duration of trips, etc. One nearly universal complaint of train crews is the unpredictability of their lives. With team crews, once on duty the team would know within reasonable boundries when their trip would end, with several days off without being subject to call. Unit trains and transcontinental intermodal trains would seem to be logical "test beds" [:)].
