A train crosses over Lyons Road Road near Azteca Farmers Market in Houston, TX on Tuesday April 11, 2023.Every Union Pacific freight train that runs in Houston is operated by a Union Pacific employee, whether it is an engineer operating a conventional locomotive or a conductor operating a remote-controlled locomotive.In recent weeks, remote-controlled trains have come under the spotlight, with some critics portraying them as new and “driverless.” This is simply not true.
These are not autonomous or “crewless” trains, which you might have read about being tested in Europe, where trains use advanced technology and artificial intelligence to “think” for itself and operate with the help of sensors. In Houston, employees control the remote-control movements between Union Pacific’s multiple classification yards, industry support yards and customer facilities, but the operator is always on board and always in control of the train.
