How did the CSX engine keep running?

I thought that modern engines had lights that lit up at certain intervals, then the engineer had to hit a button. Otherwise, the engine would automatically stop. I have read about this safety measure, and it is intended to stop this exact type of thing. What do you think? Is it not required on all engines?
