Description

KDFW-TV investigation finds that many Union Pacific Railroad engineers are being pushed so hard, they are actually falling asleep at the controls of a 1 million-pound freight train. Engineers discuss making up to 340 separate trips per year, having less than six hours off between runs and having to work in non-air conditioned trains where the temperature hits more than 120 degrees.
