Assisting people is nice, but they are there to secure the equipment.Suppose a collision takes out the engineer, what then of the train. You say BIE, but what about communications with control, shutting down power, setting brakes if necessary. Yes people are a priority, but not the first priority. The conductor deputizes a few good looking persons to help in this car and then goes on tot eh next, opening doors or windows and organizing people to help him. At the point of a train wreck you are by definition looking at a mass casualty, and triage protocol apply. The conductor is in charge of the entire scene until a command center is established. If it is safe to do so, keep people on the train until fire EMS and police arrive. He is the person in charge and needs to communicate with control while the engineer (if alive) manages the scene in front of the train. The more people the better, but an engineer and a conductor seem to be most optimal once fares are done otherwise. ROAR |
