Ohio rail worker dies in remote-controlled locomotives incident, sparking safety debates.

A rail worker's death in Ohio involving a pair of remote-controlled locomotives has sparked debates about the safety of remote-controlled trains and the use of two-person crews. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Trainmen and Engineers and other unions have raised concerns about the practice, especially as remote-controlled trains are increasingly used outside of rail yards. The Federal Railroad Administration is currently scrutinizing the use of remote control after the death and several other recent incidents.
