If you're waiting on Amtrak, or simply railfanning, you can easily witness trains receiving crew changes. Here are five trains seen at the Fort Madison Amtrak station. Enjoy!

I’m a retired locomotive engineer and I really enjoyed this video. Apparently it’s a crew change station. I’m subscribing. Thanks for making my day!👍❤️

Do you feel like labor conditions have gotten better or worse since you left the railroad industry? Most of the country was bracing for a rail strike to not happen.

@RailfanBobbyFocusMk208 Месяц назад

I see This every day 5 days a week, I'm a Van driver and pick up and drop off crews in the yards and on the road, greatest people you'll ever meet, they are on these trains up to 12 hours then mandatory 7 to 9 hours carryovers , sometimes less than that then they are back out on the rails again. It's an honor to be able to do this .

Watched a crew change in 1987 at Galesburg ILL.....5 guys....train didn't stop...slow to about maybe five mph.....new guys got on then the old crew got off smooth operation....then the remaining three waited for the caboose....which they still had then......they swapped and that was that......van there to pick up the old crew.....

@old56timer 2 года назад

Yeah, we used to change crews like that quite often back in the 70's and early 80's. It was before interdivisional runs. We didn't have to carry large grips back then, so it was a lot easier to get on and off. It was the good old days.

Excellent and revealing video. Well produced and informative. I knew from the Ft. Madison VR cam that there was a crew change location 'just around the bend'. You show comprehensive coverage of both East and West bounds. Thank you for a video so well done, and for me, reveals the actual crew change site.

There's also a small toilet cubicle inside, roughly behind where the 'B' is on the front. The crew actually have to climb up more steps to get to the cabin area.

@cody8217 2 года назад

You step inside and there is a second door inside. Once through that inner door, the toilet door is to your right, and you have a small area on your left that has electronics, and it's usually where we store our grip bags. Then you step up 2 or 3 more steps and you're in the cab itself.

@everettrailfan 2 года назад

Those are some pretty fast crew changes! Here in the Everett area north of Seattle, the lower priority manifests and unit trains sometimes end up waiting several hours or even a whole day for the next crew.

@Scorges1 2 года назад

Well if it's a Z-Train those trains can't wait much longer they have got to get moving cause they can't afford to be late. I have seen trains tied down here for like 12 hours and then a crew comes and gets onboard usually manifest but yes low priority

@everettrailfan 2 года назад

@@Scorges1 Yeah that's true. I do live kind of close to a few container terminals so we do get stack trains but they rarely have to crew change here.

@majobis 2 года назад

At the 6:30 mark you see this train stop, you see 2 come off a shift but 6 get on to each of the 3 lead units. Some either must be dead heading back where they are from or the engines will be split up later down the line ( I do not know which) Fort Madison must be the hot spot for crew changes or is there a main office in that area.
