Provides that at least one employee shall be a certified railroad locomotive engineer and at least one employee shall be either a certified railroad locomotive engineer or a qualified railroad trainman. Effective immediately. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1. In the provisions requiring a locomotive power unit to be opera- ted by a least 2 employees, requires the certified railroad locomotive engineer to be in the cab. Requires at least one employee to be a qualified railroad employee on board (instead of the employee being either a certified railroad locomotive engineer or a qualified rail- road trainman). In the provision defining "qualified railroad em- ployee" (instead of "qualified railroad trainman"), removes the re- quirement that the employee not be a certified railroad locomotive engineer.
