one revenue draining one I know of is the one regulation he probably likes: minimum manpower requirements

Nope. That was another thing that pushed the private sector out of passenger rail.

If someone wants to run a passenger train with just an LE and conductor, that should be allowed

That's a notion out of the public sector. Get the government out of the way and it becomes affordable to run commuter trains with more than two people. With the government in the way (and especially running the operations), it's not even "affordable" to have two crew members on board.
