As with the demise of the F.E. included, newer type aeroplanes. Those coal trains dont have cabooses attached, which happened to carry the Brakeman.

So I'm flying Norfolk - Honolulu the other night somewhere over northern Missouri when all of the indicating systems, navigation systems, and primary instruments go tango uniform, but since we had a competent aircrew on board, absolutely nothing happened. The C-17 has been flying for just over 16 years now and Boeing still can't completely eliminate this problem. Just a hunch, but I don't think [I]Safe[I] cargo or passenger aircraft are even on the horizon. Then they'll have to get past a public who is already afraid to fly on piloted aircraft. I agree with the above posts, they're great for military, recon, and law enforcement, but you'd never catch me on one.

RECORDING: Good morning. Welcome to the Boeing 888 the most sophisticated automated pilotless pasenger aircraft. Nothing has been spared to make this the safest aircraft ever built. As we roll on to the run way for take off, be assured, nothing can go wrong; nothing can go wrong, nothing can go wrong, nothing can go; nothing can; nothing; n . . . . . . . . . . .

The train operators obviously have much better unions than pilots do.
