Since January 1983, Amtrak has operated trains in the Northeast Corridor, between Boston and Washington, D.C., with only one person in the locomotive cab, the engineer. This report discusses the safety systems that monitor the alertness of Northeast Corridor engineers and assure that they operate trains within the authorized speeds. The report also discusses engineer work schedules, the safety record for Amtrak trains operating in the corridor during the period from January 1979 through June 1984, the number of injuries to trespassers and Northeast Corridor track maintenance employees since 1979, and the cost to add a second person to each Northeast Corridor locomotive cab.
