Lets be fair.

There's only so many bodies you can put on standby around the country within reasonable practicability.

If the conductor of a Pacer in the middle of out-and-out nowhere suddenly goes for burton, then even if someone is available, it might be hours before he can reach the train, or the train can reach him.

It's not like Northern can have bodies stashed at every quarter-mile post in little huts just in case, really.
