I heard that they have to switch driver at the border. Imagine if planes had the same requirement. Half the plane would be pilots. ๐คฃ
Not always, the drivers have to be licensed for the countries rail network. Also sometimes they have to change the locomotive. And going to eastern europe sometimes they change the wheelsets because of different track widths.
