This IS safe. As any student conductor knows, or should know, 3 point contact when riding moving equipment is all that is required by railroad rules.
The railroad employee shown in this photograph has the ability to use a free hand to communicate with the engineer by radio.
I'm glad rail service is making a come-back.
