A tragic incident in a CSX railyard has sparked discussions about the safety of remote-control trains in rail yards. The incident involved a worker who was run over by a pair of remote-control locomotives, leading to calls for two-person crews to prevent similar deaths in the future.
Remote-control operations in rail yards have become common practice for railroads looking to reduce costs and increase efficiency. However, concerns have been raised by unions and safety advocates about the risks associated with one-person remote-control operations.
