As a former conductor, its a known fact train crews spend more time trying to find ways to get out of work the actually just doing the work. And god forbid any of the engineers I worked with had to walk farther than as many units there was on the head end 🙄 There was one exception, old head and was a former road foreman that went back to the seat, he loved to walk the train.

Because you’re a diabetic, doesn’t mean that you aren’t allowed to become an engineer. Also, it’s very unlikely that Sanchez would have had a diabetic attack, considering that he texted a railfan moments before the collision, and was also able to put his train into emergency braking before the collision. If you’re constantly at risk of a stroke or heart attack, then you might be laid off, but even then, railroads aren’t likely to lay you off unless you suffer from a serious medical condition.
