Railroads want one-person crews on freights

One-man crews are feasible, practical, and inevitable, for most of the road jobs in North America. <br><br>If it's safety you want to improve, ask Congress to change its instructions to the FRA and start permitting U.S. railroads to implement the systems that are on-the-shelf and available today that positively enforce authority violations and excess speed. Those systems do more to improve safety than any number of extra employees in the cab. (Ironically, those systems -- which are engineered and manufactured in the U.S. -- are being installed in developing-world countries where the FRA has no jurisdiction.)<br><br>S. Hadid<br>
