Would you expand on that? Vaguely mentioning train engineers, desert search parties and decapitation without the whole story doesn’t cut it.

They’re at a premium. The baggage handlers normally get them first.

That’s all I know. For ten years I worked for a company that sent me from the east to the west coast 2-3 times per year. I don’t fly and it was either executive committee meetings or having to make videos of projects at our other research locations. So I lived on trains quite often. Being stuck out in nowheres land got to be almost a norm. But it wasn’t until that one porter talked about it that I made any connection between these long stops and what was going on outside. He was my only source. I did later read an article about a problem with alcoholism of engineers due to the trauma of being responsible for people’s deaths that were unavoidable due to the short time between seeing them on the tracks and the long stopping time for a train.
