  NIOSH FACE Program: California Case Report 05CA004 | CDC/NIOSH
A 23-year-old Hispanic car wash attendant died when he was pulled into a side-arm rotating brush in a car wash. The victim was washing down the floor of the car wash tunnel with a hose.
The site of the incident was a drive-through car wash. The car wash had a tunnel that cars and trucks were pulled through by a conveyor on the floor after the vehicle’s interior was thoroughly vacuumed and the exterior was pretreated.
The car wash equipment in the tunnel was turned on and off by a push button mounted on the wall of the entrance and the exit of the tunnel (Exhibits 5 and 6).

 Car attendant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A car attendant is a railroad employee placed in charge of a single coach, sleeping car, or lounge car on a medium-to-long-distance passenger train.
Lounge car attendants typically operate food and beverage service, sell souvenirs and other non-food items, operate onboard motion picture service, and keep tables clean.
Full-service dining cars normally have a steward, supervising several waiters and a kitchen staff, rather than a single attendant; with the car attendants, these people form the onboard service crew, often supervised by a Chief of Onboard Services or "Train Boss," separate from and subordinate to the conductor.

 Amtrak Superliner Transition Sleeper
They often inform the passengers in their car when they are turning in for the night and they then go to a room in the Transition Sleeper.
There will almost always be a Car Attendant from one of the Sleeping Cars on duty during the night and be keeping his eye on the cars where the regular Car Attendant has turned in for the night.
The Transition Sleeper is not usually placed next to private cars at the end of an Amtrak train so there is usually no way for private car passengers or crew to go between the private car and the rest of the train while the train is in motion.

 Parlour Car Richard Talmy
This car has a full-time attendant, one each on the four train sets, who tends to the needs of the sleeping car passengers, making it a more pleasant trip than being in their sometimes cramped rooms for the 1389 miles (two days and a night) from Los Angeles to Seattle.
Richard uses his own sound system in the center of the Parlour Car, which allows him to stand in the middle of the car (rather than use the microphone behind the bar at the end of the car) allowing him to see outside the car and give appropriate commentary as the sights pass by.
While the train was moving slowly along the coast during Richard's talk, dolphins were sighted and all the parlour car guests moved to the ocean side of the car to press their noses to the windows.
