3 trains and 2 tracks: A problem on the Toledo District 

NW Ohio Trains how is it cancer?? I like the video

lmfao

Good video brother. Also, not sure if you've had the chance. Take a trip to Nati. Check out Queensgate. It's freakin awesome! Also, if you go or have gone? Next time go eat at the Incline Public House. It's on the western hills overlooking downtown Cincinnati in Price Hill. Great views of ALL the rails all over downtown. You get views of Queensgate, the bridges over the Ohio River and all the trackage in and out of the south side of Queensgate.

stop buying iPhones

Niepi he didn't. He just accidentally

that's what she said.

Is that a regular thing ? Manned helpers on the rear ? From Bellevue to CN Lang Yard I presume ?

yes. power on both ends every trip. Makes spinning the train in Bellevue faster. Helps with heavier trains too.

perhaps a glib solution on my part born of ignorance so forgive me in advance and let me say I have full respect for you guys but isnt there a simple RF reader that can do a calculation based on where the trainmaster is directing it to go? i.e. "error code 101- train to long for siding" or some such, I surely have been guilty of over-simplifying things before, hope I get a chance to see the horseshoe curve before fall hits hard, cheers !

Robert Kerr we have scanners but there are variables. Our previous mark up showed us shorter. my conductor was supposed to update that info with dispatcher but failed to.

TRAIN SHIPS haha! TTE reference

Perfect Comment 😂

yup

+Norfolk Southern ES44AC yes sir, it was. And i didn't notice the number until I watched the video back. Pretty neat! Thanks!

@@NS8010 You want to talk about inception. Many years ago, when SP was still a railroad, I had befriended several crew members who worked a local train at night in the east of Metro Phoenix. As a budding model railroader at the time, I had made a model of SP 7120, an MK rebuilt GP40 (GP40M-2 they called it). I had taken this with me to show the crew, and was actually invited into the cab of the locomotive to show the engineer. What I didn't realize at that instant was the unit I was in the cab of ... was SP 7120.

Just a quick English lesson here, it isn't WOULD OF loved to hear the chatter, it is WOULD HAVE or WOULD'VE loved to hear the chatter, here endeth the lesson.

thank's!

@Dough Borret It's a dirty job but someone has to do it!

Denis Berger someone would have said something profane😊

Denis Berger yea “Someone fucked up. The Lake Erie is on our track. Get some dude down here” *UP flips its shit*

Thanks greatly, I do appreciate it.

Thanks a ton, man! I really appreciate it!

+Middle Georgia Railfan yes sir, thank you!

+Railfan Jason Thanks dude. Only in Ohio can such a thing happen :P I love this state.

And i do to. Man Ohio is a HEARTLAND for trains!

Rail Gamer Productions you bet I see trains and crossings every where I go

it's also why I live in that state

I was gonna say that also XD lol

Hunt Gaming/Productions nope. Lifeproof is better. u can drop it in a puddle and dry it off. but don't drop it in a pool xD

Make that an otter box and a scanner. Bet that dispatcher was fit to be tied!

Hunt Gaming/Productions Not being in a rush is ideal though.

+Union Pacific 1982 Thanks! They are sharp! This line rarely sees WB movements like the WLE train and the next siding up the line about 10mi or less is 10,000ft long. More than enough. So, there are usually no problems.

+adam - life tip, fuck yourself!

Justin Case Nice. Maybe you should take your own advice.

+adam miller - i do whenever i get free time. have you tried it yet? you'll feel better.

Rosemary Armitage bs

Rosemary Armitage wow

I smell a little Bullshit

It would only be dicey if both trains were too long for the siding. There is a way to resolve that called a "saw-by", but PTC probably doesn't know how to do that

+projectBOOM - life tip: go fuck yourself hard!

+twink - life tip: fuck off!

I am surprised the Union Pacific doesn't have computer assisted train dispatches where the computer will help the train dispatcher. The train dispatcher can still override the computer

@@thomasklimchuk441 They do. They switch it on and go eat lunch or go have a smoke. Instead of looking up how long a train is or lookingn at a timetable to see how long a sidetrack is they ask the conductor on the radio. Nobody likes doing work for a dispatcher. UP has an emergency system, if you derail or hit a car you dial 911 on the keypad of the radio. Supposedly everything stops in Omaha till the trouble is settled. I hhit a car once and it took 45 minutes for the dispatcher to respond. Having a smoke or a sammich. Train crews don't think of dispatchers as human beings, just heartless disembodied voices on a radio. They don't have feelings or feel pain like you and me.

Wayne Alan almost the same senerio Casey jones was killed in. This is what they call sawing threw.

Yep sure is. It's been a long long time since I've heard that phrase, and you're right.

Wayne Alan I actually learned the term from listening to sim web(Casey jones fireman that jumped) interview lol my dad was also a 39 year locomotive engineer.

Been years since I retired so been away from the lingo. Was in the Transportation industry for 37 year, 17 in Rail.

+KCStrainiac LMAO yeah... Thanks!

Thanks!!

Alan Page ah yes, the sneetches

Trains For Life • how did they resolve that one?
