Alerters are an American corporate temper tantrum which is not that widely practiced elsewhere.

It is my hope that the man who invented the alerter has to press one every few seconds for the remainder of eternity in hell.

The executives who mandated them should have them mounted on their desk and be required to press them constantly as the decisions they make there have far more dangerous repercussions than anything I can do on a train.
I certainly understand that they're horribly annoying, but is there an alternative solution to address the safety issue without sticking a second engineer in the cab?
