I don't mean to pick, but it seems like you have near zero knowledge of how train systems work.

You are 100% dependent on your safety and monitoring systems because almost every problem that could come up is beyond the horizon of your human senses. Stopping distances are in thousands of feet to miles depending on the train size and weight. Add any curves and that's far beyond your visibility.

Then you add in management complaining that you're too slow and you need to do things faster and cheaper or you'll lose your job. Things turn from solution culture to blame culture.

Then you add in false errors and warnings in a system that teach you to ignore them and an upper management that doesn't fix them.

Then you have the day like hundreds of others where warnings are going off, management is yelling, but this time there is a stopped train around the corner and everyone dies.

This is a systemic problem.
