With the cab down there, my first thought was ...
... this is a mine - maybe regular railroad rules do not apply. Just as the guy who drives the recycle truck through our neighborhood with a stand-up cab on the right side of the vehicle so he can step out and put the recycle bin on the truck's "arm" for dumping into the top of the truck, this position would allow the engineer to step to the ground, hook up air/brake lines, get back in the cab and motor on down the track.
Is that a possible scenario?
