Its important. Unlike airline pilots, train conductors need to be fully awake when they loose an engine at V1 with windshear in the area.
 
Be careful what you wish for....A 12 hour duty day would most likely result in more days at work and more nights away from home.....
 
Nothing is going to change until pilots falls asleep and fly it into the ground. The government, especially the FAA, has always been reactive instead of proactive.
 
Regulation is always written in blood.
 
this was brought up after the pinnacle accident in TVC. they had been on duty nearly 14 hours if I remember correctly. I think the NTSB said trains have to stop and change crews at 12 hours-it's a hard limit.
