750 meter trains don't just appear. It takes all kinds of planning to assemble a train and fill everything up and schedule its route, I'm sure. They don't just spring it on the "engineer" the morning of.

They do work irregular hours but I'm not certain they're 'always on call.' There are 'on call' shifts and my understanding is...again, people get sick or hurt so need to be replaced from time to time.
