I don't want to sound pessimistic about inward facing cameras, but a camera trained on the engineer isn't going to stop accidents from happening anyway. They're still going to happen, the camera isn't going to put the train in emergency if it overspeeds.
If they're really serious about preventing accidents like what happened with 188, PTC is all I can say. The NEC can easily do it, but sadly outside of the NEC, the Big 4 (the freight railroads) are hesitant or outright against implementing it.
