Bill,
They had a commuter train hit another train head on some time back down in the Bay Area I think it was and several were killed including the engineer. After the investigation as to why he ran through the red light signal, they found out that people hang from the signals and signs along the railroad and test message the engineers as they go by. This engineer was text messaging back and never even saw the signal. I believe there will be a crack down on people doing this now. And they have already said that no engineer can have a cell phone while on the train.
