Abstract:

This report summarizes the progress of a year's work in providing support in human factors to the Federal Railroad Administration. The principal topics include: (a) a description of the locomotive engineer's job, particularly with regard to its inherent hazards, its contributions to operational safety, and the aptitudes and skills required for effective train handling; (b) an initial assessment of the physical fitness requirements for several railroad jobs; (c) an analysis of the needs for human factors data in accident reports; and (d) recommendations for the use of a locomotive and train simulator for research in railroad safety. Plans are given for continuation of the effort and recommendations for additional areas of study.
