The safety issues discussed regarding the collision include: the train crew's fitness for duty and the effect of irregular and unpredictable shift and night work; irregularity and unpredictability of present-day train operations on Conrail and other railroads; dispatcher stress and lack of backup relief for dispatchers; the adequacy of safety backup devices on Conrail's locomotive; and Conrail's management and supervision policies.
