I dozed off,, huh? OH, mass transit,, makes ya wonder where all the dough for track safety goes. The train should have been equipped with an auto braking system.. a non-breathing one. wanna bet, unions block its use?

Given that diesel-electric locomotives were in use for close to thirty years before unions dropped their requirements that engine crews included a fireman (which is only necessary on a steam locomotive), I’d bet my life savings on them fighting automated brakes tooth and nail.
