An interesting news article where some Loco Pilots describe the horror and trauma they face during and after accidents.
Often in the aftermath of accidents and train run-overs, little attention is given to the plight of the Loco pilots. The chief attention is usually on the victims and the Loco pilots are mostly not even mentioned. As seen in light of the recent incident at Amritsar, some people will go so far as to accuse the LPs of 'deliberate' inaction in face of the tragedy.
Most...

With people paying least attention to their own safety by loitering around railway tracks in dangerous situations, they are not only endangering their own lives, but are also causing irreparable damage to the mental health of the Loco pilots, who already work in extremely stressful conditions and are responsible for the safety of thousands of passengers.
In this context, the news article in the link above, gives a LP's perspective on the horrors they see in their jobs daily and how it affects them.
