You sure you want to be an Engineer / Train Operator?

One scary video indeed, but it wouldnt stop me from becoming an engineer. Hell, that kind of accident happens once in a blue moon. Nothing that would get me worried operating/riding a train.

 

Agreed. The video sure does catch you off-guard, but it is just a freak accident. There are many more dangerous occupations than being a train engineer.

I would still operate a train when my chance comes. When I started at Rockland Coaches, we were told about a head on collision in the Lincoln Tunnel, between two buses (they come at each other during the morning rush, just like in the BBT, and the QMT). I see it this way. When it's your time to go, it's going to happen. There is no preventing it. None of us know how we are going to die.

 

A person with a terminal illness, can walk out the door of their residence and get struck by a out of control speeding motorcycle, and die.
