Hey good evening I hope that you are having a wonderful day and enjoying your retirement. I have never ridden a train before a passenger train. stay safe stay blessed.
EARTH ANGEL ♥️. GOOD EVENING 🌗. MR. MIKE BARNETT, SIR !!! ONE OF THE NICE THINGS ABOUT YOUR “ SWEET “ VIDEOS THAT I REALLY ENJOY ,IS THAT WE GET TO RIDE WITH YOU , ANHD SEE THINGS AS YOU SEE THEM. ANY OTHER 🚂 TRAIN VIDEOS THAT I HAVE SEEN, ARE ALLTHE SAME....... TRAIN CARS JUST FLYING BY ,NORTH, SOUTH, EAST AND WEST, BUT NEVER FROM THE ENGINEER’’S PROSPECTIVE !!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!!👍😍👍
My man looked back and I felt like my TM was looking at me for having a personal electronic device 😂 always looking to put a grey one in lead trying to avoid that eye 😂 damn cab signal and DP rules.
Looking at the display, I was thinking that was the early stages of implementing PTC/TO up y’all’s way. Guess the conversation at the end confirms that haha
Tell me mike,what's it like to control the iron horse? To be able to see the beautiful scenery from your spot it looks like it just glides across the tracks ,what a great job,one can only fantasize ....? Thank you for Sharing with train lovers,handsome mike
Hi Debra thanks... You use your skills to make a good start in accordance to the rules and proceed to getting your train up to speed there are places that you cruise by that is like watching a real-time mural and if it's no at a stressful or intense moment you just say to yourself ahhh oh yes how nice all the while knowing you have thousands of tons rolling in unison. Now that scenario can play out throughout most of your trip. Again you could just have a good running train and a quick trip for that you get equal enjoyment. That's your good day examples. Then there are days things just don't go so well and you just wanna be some place other than that train.
Thanks for these videos. Nice to see how the railway works in USA. I'am a loco engineer trainee in hungary and soon in full time. What is the avarege speed of a freight train? In Hungary it s about 90-100 kph with electro locos. Thanks, wish many safe tour.
I have a question. When done with your shift, do you sleep at a hotel in that area? Does the railroad pay for it? Also.... If you want to go to your home terminal, how do you get back home? Catch another train or Uber, or what?
