Here’s a hint to the former watchdogs of the press: Hillary Clinton’s emails were scrubbed squeaky clean before you saw hard copies. Indeed, there are hundreds of pages of theoretical “family” messages that were supposed to have been deleted as personal — but which serve to advance the campaign narrative. Either ask for the server (trust me, once written, nothing can be totally scrubbed) or shut up. single crew member could not properly secure it alone.

The safety benefits of having two crew members on board are not limited to parking a train. Engineers and conductors are each responsible for a long list of unique duties, most of which must be carried out simultaneously. Consolidating these responsibilities to one individual would only exacerbate the most critical safety issue facing the rail industry today — high levels of fatigue among operating employees — and result in additional train accidents. Two-person crews not only help prevent potential accidents or derailments, but also play a critical role in mitigating emergency situations when they do occur.

Positive train control, while an important safety technology, cannot replace the vital role of a second crew member. No one would approve of a commercial airliner being operated by one pilot, even though a plane can fly itself; freight trains, which cannot drive themselves, should be treated no differently.
