Here's the aforementioned proposal:
Going by the official narrative, the train engineer was ordered by dispatch to keep moving despite the burning wheel. Would having an additional crew member changed dispatch's decision? I am unconvinced.
It's an Obama era regulation. Given what we know about Hussein's administration, I'm going to trust Trump on this and assume that Obama rule was never there for actual safety reasons.
