Perhaps having multiple people in the cab contributed to this and other accidents.A. It's a distraction. B. It provides a false sense of safety. The thought "Well, if anything obvious is wrong, that other guy who's been over this exact route before in this same loco will notice" may be subtly lurking below one's thoughts. That other guy is also less concerned, because he's sure you know where the turnout/crossing/curve is. Still, it's strange. I'd think they'd be on high alert during the first run, knowing that a sharp curve amidst after long, boring straight is exactly the sort of hazard that catches you pants down. |
