Rail

Trains today can be one or two miles long with a "pusher" motor at he rear. Does constant radio communication have to be maintained for the train to operate?
How do they operate if they are in areas where radio communication is nearly impossible or not at all? Does the whole train go "dead" if you lose contact?

I'm curious about why there seems to be so little use of commuter trains on normal freight railroad tracks. Is this an issue of compatibility or who owns the railroad tracks?

I am guessing with the end of the caboose in the 80s and maybe by the end of the 70s, you saw no more kerosine or electrically converted markers on the rear of trains.

My husband heard that conductors have to push a button every minute to make sure they are awake and if they do not hit it, the train engine will shut off. Is this true?
