Being a engineer/conductor and talking to the automobile driving down the

YES problem. The FRA and most railroads' rule books prohibit train
operating crews from using any communication system not related to

Whether crewmenbers adhere to that or not is up to the individual, his
union representative, and the powers-that-be if caught.
