Dude was that a girl Engineer leading 197, because I heard on your scanner Highball 197 with the girls voice talking, and if so boy she knowns how to put on a good horn show.

[EWM27]

that was the conductor...

[UPHeritage]

Were you railfanning with Treyvs, because if you said she was the conductor you must have been their with him, or you caught the train earlier that day.

[EWM27]

No, but the conductor is the one who tells the train to highball, and she did just that, along with telling the station times to the engineer

I've noticed that there's a good few lady conductors along the lines.
