Before the railroad is remotely operated from the "bat cave" it is more likely that a one man crew will be an engineer with a remote box. When he needs to do switching he will flip a few switches on the wall panel and then put on his remote control box and get on the ground and start the switching. I think it is very dangerous to have a one man crew because of people falling asleep, lonliness can lead to all kinds of stuff, and if the lone operator were to get hurt no one may even know about it!!! I'm sure the railroads are trying to figure out a way for a one-man crew, but the technology had better improve by leaps and bounds before they even try implementing that idea. Just my [2c]
