Naturally, with the technical term for "vigilante" in this context.
The rest was cited to flesh out the context :)

dead-man control

vigilante

3 (ferr.) dead-man control.

Basically a control that needs to be actively used for the train to run, so if the driver drops dead at the controls the train will stop and prevent a "Silver Streak" type scenario.

Also deadman control, dead man's switch, dead man's handle
