I don’t think so. I think the federal law pretty much set up just to avoid that problem. The train official may have exposure but that is for the lawyers.

There is a clause in maritime law pertaining to liability if the owner is on board for just such situations. A stronger burden of proof of innocence or reduced liability is on the ship with an owner on board.

I would have to agree with you on that.
