And just to clarify: the engineers are all considered mechanics and are paid as such, which is a very different, and higher, pay scale than the ones operating rides and registers in the park.
And most of those also get paid better than minimum wage, especially in the last couple of years with the rise in wages everywhere.

Guess you don't know much then. No, they don't. Know them all personally and they get paid more than that. Their wages aren't any of your business, but they get paid decent enough.
And they love their work and those engines.

The mechanic was killed because of their own negligent actions (they didn't lock out when they were in a safety secured area like they were supposed to). That has nothing to do with the train.
If you know anything about the train then you have a clue about how meticulous those engineers and workers are with it
Maybe find out what happened first before making broad judgements?

I'll accept that when you post your wages and income taxes on your social media and link it here for everyone to see...
I have a feeling that none of the people liking your comment are putting their income levels out there for everyone either.
