@anthonyguitar1591 - On long distance trains, of course.

[JBofBrisbane]

@rasheedmendenhal - Sorry, no one asked you or your mates to spray your paint all over our trains.

[Starfield1959]

Even if the engineer was a woman, what's the big deal? I bet the ones I've seen could rock your boxcar !!

[niselat]

@Starfield1959 they are fat enough to when they climb in

[aleety1]

lol Jodi was an engineer but is retired now and he sounds like a girl because hes gay.

[K5H13760]

Great Video, I can't believe there isn't 2 feet of snow on the ground!

[timboz1986]

I want the weather to be like that everyday

[meadstuart]

thought i was going to see her

[yeahyourdone]

Surprised it didn't crash...

[infernodood3]

why do they sound the horn near a trainspotter?

[tradesmansassistant]

nice



[ChrisW2k5]

8833...i've been on that unit before. There's a female hogger where I work out of named Teddi.

[tommytruth]

Canada, what do you expect?

[tprdfh51]

Sorry dude - engineer "Jodi" is not a girl. It is a nickname that takes in both his first and last names. "J-O-E" + his last name which begins with "D" but is too long to pronounce. Hence the short form "Jodi".

[LocalRailfan]

Oh. I heard a female voice from the engineer on the radio. A friend said that the person operating the train was engineer Jodi, and said that it was a lady. If not, can you help me find out who it might've been. I have seen female engineers on the Hamilton Sub before.

[tprdfh51]

@LocalRailfan there are a number of qualified female engineers working out of the CPR Toronto terminal. They may not be set up as an engineer full-time but they can still fill ad-hoc calls to fill an engineer's position when there is a shortage of hoggers. Some of them obviously have worked the Hamilton Pool out of Toronto. Really couldn't tell you who you heard - I would recognize the voice if I heard it.

[FrenckyCFC]

@LocalRailfan Maybe.....CTC call Female vocals?

[sookster54]

That horn sounds great, it sounds similar to the Montreal Canadiens goal horn but better sounding.

[sookster54]

@LocalRailfan there's a female conductor on Vancouer island.

[railfan08]

Nice shot, and nice video quality!

What type of camcorder do you record video with?

[LocalRailfan]

Thanks for the comment. The camera is a Canon HSF-10.

[jpaufsc]

Love the horn!

[MoPacBoy]

Awesome! 5/5 and a fav

[AmtrakFanNEC927]

love that doppler

[TNT314159]

Nice, we need more women in the business

[coryrusch]

Great Video Ryan!

[GenesisSanctuary]

Great vid.:)

[CSXrailz]

Whats a hogger?

[Nathanrailfan]

Railroad slang for Locomotive.

[Nathanrailfan]

It can also mean engineer as well as locomotive.

[LocalRailfan]

Hogger is railway slang for the engineer.

[Hammertin]

@LocalRailfan fucking train spotters. hardly any of so called "railway" slang is even used or was, half of it is just shit peoplee made up outside of railways, eg: trainspotters

[Boss302fan]

@Hammertin LOL. I've have been railroading over 30 years and I seriously can't recall anyone ever using the term hogger. And I've been a "hogger". LOL

In this day and age if I hear that word I immediately know "railfan".

Not that being a railfan is bad at all. It's just something I've noticed over the years.

[JMacDaddyFunk]

@Boss302fan  Im a conductor on the UP and we use the term "hogger" in reference to engineers. Maybe its conducive to geography.

[Boss302fan]

@JMacDaddyFunk You're probably right. I have heard it before, but seldom. I work with UP out in California btw.

[JMacDaddyFunk]

@Boss302fan

I work on the Chicago Service Unit, so we're at opposite ends of the UP spectrum. They probably say shit in Denver that neither of us have heard before...lol.

[brainerdrebel]

MacDaddy the term hogger referred to engineers that would not take a day off, when we were on a 7 day work week, they hogged all the pay.

[JMacDaddyFunk]

@brainerdrebel

Not really. Hog is slang for engine so naturally the engineers were hoggers. Engineers weren't the only craft to work 7 days a week.

[brainerdrebel]

@JMacDaddyFunk, I am a retired 30 year conductor, never head an engine called a hog. We called them hoggers because they wouldn't give the extra board a day.

[JMacDaddyFunk]

@brainerdrebel If you never heard an engine referred to as a hog than you weren't a conductor for 30 years.

[brainerdrebel]

@JMacDaddyFunk , I guess that wasn't me working all those years, maybe I had a clone.

[CQDX018]

I remember catching a BNSF coal train with a female conductor and a female engineer on it. They had a SD70ACe leading too! LOL! Looks like Jodi was keepin' her window shut on ya there, buddy! Never-the-less, great video of the CP..Consumer Products!

[LocalRailfan]

Sounds like a great catch. Jodi has waved to me and gave me horn salutes before. CP sure does strike a lot of deals with other insutrial companies though (Consumer Products). Thanks again.

Ryan

[MegaZtrain]

nice shot
