sure would like to see someone explain how you don't have to have an FRA license to operate these things. Heard some garbage about the "computer" is actually running the engine, that's like saying when you get pulled over for speeding or DUI, it wasn't me driving, it was the computer controlling the fuel injectors! Also, who gets in trouble when one of these things runs a red signal? the computer? Is that an FRA violation? Like one of the replies said, this is just a way to get rid of jobs and they are surely sweeping accidents under the rug..heard a rumor on the BNSF about an accident almost immediately after they started toying with these things, but it was all hushed up right after that. Also, the way that I have seen that they set up a "remote zone" it looks like it'd take forever to get started every shift and forever to take the "zone" down too.
