You think this is a husky male voice?
In another report: “””There were two people in the cab of the train at the time of the crash, the engineer and an in-training conductor who was familiarizing himself with the route, Dinh-Zarr said.”””
So we know the conductor was genderly known as a male.
Given this accident occurred near the leftist capital of Washington State, the actual sex of the person could be male or female.
