    I don't care how modern or post-modern a locomotive gets, the air bell and "whoosh" when it is shut off, along with the air exhaust on the automatic and independent brakes are as timeless as a GP7!

    The great part about driving a train is you don't have to steer; the terrible part is if you don't see a problem far enough ahead there's nothing you can do except watch yourself slide into it and blam. If it's something big enough you gotta try to get out.
    It must be a nerve-wracking business driving these things. Go Engineers!

      Even crazier being a conductor and hanging off a ladder in crazy weather elements and running into a issue and having to jump off. I know a guy who said he almost got smashed by one of the train cars or something and had to jump off the ladder from the train into a ditch.

I always wondered how one could break into the industry but it's too late now as I approach 50 and well established in a career that I intend to retire from with a pension. I still love everything about trains though.

    Mr. Mike makes it look so easy
    but, Railroading is not all ice cream and cake
    especially if you are working any rail yard as
    a Switchman or on the line of road as Mr Mike
    shows us. Remember, there are RULES to learn
    Train signals, sign post, hand signals the list is long
    and you will be tested before you even get to be hired.
    And If ever I become hire by any railroad, I hope that
    there is an instructor like Mr Mike to train me a nugget
    of his knowledge to see me home safely until I retire.

    Do you have to qualify to operate a different type of locomotive like a commercial pilot would have to train and then qualify to operate a different type of aircraft?
