Training and safety on the rails

I’ve spent over 20 years as a railroad engineer, and I can’t stress enough how vital it’s to adhere to safety regulations. New hires often underestimate the importance of thorough on-the-job training. For instance, when I first started, the buddy system helped me understand protocol in real-world scenarios, which has stayed with me ever since. What are some experiences others have had with training and safety on the job?
