Re: A Second Person In The Cab At Rialto? I Have My Doubts

I'm sorry but I'm not buying in to the novel term, lonesome cab. A thousand or more trains operate daily in the US with one person in the cab. This includes many trains operated by Amtrak, METRA, etc. This is in addition some short lines (including one that handles 140+ car coal trains with distributed power at speeds of up to 40 mph) and Class 1 helper and engine exchange crews. These movements operate with control systems ranging from ACSES/Cab Signals to non-signaled Track Warrant Control.

Commercial airliners no longer operate with second officers, navigators and flight engineers and Indy cars no longer race with an on-board mechanic.
