Fred Anderson was killed on September 17, 2023 , when he stepped in front of two locomotives in CSX 's railyard in Walbridge , Ohio .
Anderson and the other carman he was working with, George Oliger , had radioed ahead to get permission to enter the area, but Anderson was still struck by the train.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive Trainmen and Engineers and other unions have been raising concerns about the practice recently, particularly because remote-control trains are now being used outside of railyards to make local trips to pick up and drop off cars.
CSX had its managers stress to all its maintenance workers that they must look both directions before they ever cross tracks.
The railroad said last year that it wasn't planning any changes to its remote control operations after Anderson 's death.
The Brotherhood of Railway Carmen union has said that three of its members have died in incidents involving remote-control trains since 2015 .
