If a freight train is unstaffed, who would brace for impact? Anyway, labor costs to have a couple engineers aboard is much less than if the load was travelling

Anyway, labor costs to have a couple engineers aboard is much less than if the load was travelling by truck, even if the trucks have no driver in them, they're likely supervised at a ratio with more humans than it takes to operate a long freight train.
