There is another factor that no one seems to think about with the unmanned trains. In any other country people DO listen when told to stay off of railroad property and stop at crossings. Not so here in the United States, too many people take things for granted and expect the world to come to a stop for them. some of them hope thay get hit, and live to tell about it, because the railroads "pay for" all the damages that occur, whether it is their fault or not. <br />People don't listen the way some of us older folks did when we were told to stay away from certain areas. If people would listen things might not be happening as readily and there would be no derailments or car vs. train accidents. <br />The other thing is the fact that today, we need engineers and switchmen more on the road trains because of all the possible terrorists that want to do damage to this great nation. With people in the cab of the engines as they are heading to where ever, they can see the places and things that might be occurring to their tracks, and report them to their dispatchers. We need them for the purposr of safety and responsibility! <br /> <br />ralph zimmer n9kym@aol.com
