My brother says 3 other engineers he has worked have quit after hitting stalled vehicles and he would probably do the same.
Your example is one of the most extreme cases I have heard of. You fail to mention how many engineers did not quit after hitting something on the tracks. Most engineers that have worked any length of time have hit something and most are still working.
