[quote user="243129"]You do not feel that Amtrak needs two men in the cab?[/quote] Simple answer: NO. In Germany trains have just one engineer since 1996, even trains of 185 mph. Before trains above 125 mph had a second men. But Deutsche Bahn had a funktioning safety system (PZB, LZB) since the 1930s. Now with PTC I don't see a need for a second person in the cab of Amtrak trains. Perhaps German railways have another advantage. The training for a locomotive engineer takes three (3) years.
