@@jam00723 yeah not a fan of the European styled "desk" controls. Miss the old EMD cab set up where you could lean back and rest one of your feet on the heater. They also seemed more female friendly if your on the shorter side.
@@Vzw-dj9rf all class 1 locomotives get ran hard. Even the “heritage” units don’t get any special treatment. She’s an ACe so they will work her hard because she’s built for it.
I was debating going to see that because it was parked in Sterling Illinois with a SD70 workers up front so it would have been cool to see but my schedule did not allow 😢
@@Railfan56the sd70’s are horrible when it comes to oil use and exhaust. It’s not long before a new rebuild is covered in oil and exhaust soot those exhaust stacks and turbo are good but suck as well and when you work on them that stuff is not coming out of your clothes lol. The stack gaskets burn up to easily
I got her twice in 4 months. On Christmas Eve and Easter Sunday. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8N80LdPUDHU.htmlsi=bwnL9iIIXEVvMOAX ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XifPjKX2bUk.htmlsi=HefuqJjHDMax8Mwc After seeing her long ago in Wichita in 2009 for a second while over a bridge in a yard.
After a bit of sleuthing, it's of my judgement that the dude is a foamer who tampered with RR property. His socials state that he works for a grain company, but his photos are of him driving tractors in farm fields, trainspotting as a railfan, and model RR'ing.
@@jaesynthetikexhumana9860 I work for the company who loads the trains Rock River lumber, and Grain. I started here 7months ago as a new job. Used to farm throughout my high school years so please don’t assume
Wonder if the FRA is watching your video? I thought any kind of personal electronic devices, including video recordings were a violation of FRA rules for Railroad employees while on duty?
@@opiumextract2934 Actually, I was thinking your a bird brain and you probably used to ride the short bus in school? 🤔 If you have ever worked for a Railroad, you would know that is a legitimate question, but you haven't, so you wouldn't know this, foamer..
What a boring job that would be. no wonder people jump out of Railroading jobs. Especially conductors who have to do all the dirty work. Horrendously dirty/filthy work environment. Work your a$$ off for 8, 9, 10 hours then sleep in a flea bit bed and get up to do it all over again - going back home. Blech. The pay isn't THAT good.
Idk if this video is old or what but this guy has no idea what he's doing,turning on cab signal breaker now? Probably some random civilian getting on stuff fucking with property again
@@c44ac99 lol great english,this video is some random guy climbing up on it flipping switcher randomly,there are some we don't use at all on there and an employee would know that
Even if he was an employee, this is not something he should be posting on RU-vid... Not good for security and definitely not good for his job security!
From a retired BLE&T Local Chairman off the UP in Seattle, I would be very careful about posting content like this revealing your identity. Our Uncle Pete takes a dim view of recording anything on the property. I got disciplined for using a stand-alone camera to take a photograph of a switch flag test. I won in arbitration, but it doesn't matter that their own rules allow it. Cell phone cameras are a big no-no.
