@GBW306....I ACTUALLY LOVE WHAT I DO....i just hate the fucks that make my job miserable cuz they lay in the weeds with binoculors and harass you to see if your breaking bullshit rules...i work alot of hours and sacrifice alot for those fucks all i want in return is to go to work and be treated with respect and dignity...is that too much to ask for faggot? i mean who wants to go to work and be treated like your fuckin pig shit?
@GBW306.....first of all what the fuck would you know about them "laying a job out"?....do you work for the cocksuckers? and how can i spend the money they "force" me to make when im always at work bitch? the point i was trying to make is guys like you who get turned on sexually by shit like this have fucking mental issues that need to be analyzed...cuz the csx is ran by a bunch of lopsided cocksuckers..they have too many cheifs that make like 400% more then there average employee...
Csx sucks.....plain and simple...they treat there employees like shit...the most unethical company ive ever worked for they dont give a damn if they destroy your personal and social life as long as your at work 24/6....and god forbid you lay off or miss a call...fuck csx
@bygmyke1 Sounds like you don't have a work ethic to begin with. I'm sure you don't mind spending the money they "force" you to earn with a gun to your head. I also do recall they lay the job out for you when you go to the hiring session/interview. You made the choice to work there, they didn't force your hand. They didn't make it sound pretty because they don't want whiny little shitheads like you. It's whiny little cunts like you that are the reason I can't work 7+ 12 hours a day. Thanks loser
what is the bell button for ? it seems he pressed it after hearing message on radio.didn't hear horn sound so it aint that ? or is it, and why do u move the lever then move it back then power on again, what is that lever is it throttle ? thanks i am not an engineer obviously
@gmanupt I think its one of the hand cleaners things.. Like when you eat bbq? Or maybe he just wants to enjoy himself late at night, you never know o.O
I don't actually work for the railroad (yet), but can tell you that on most Class I railroads, it takes quite a bit of training, and some heavy railroad experience, before becoming a conductor. After completion of the conductor training programs, it usually takes 5 years for your seniority to increase, and for you to become an engineer.
@BARRIEMOREBARLOW Sorry I have to point out to you that, that is wrong. Engineers can use any four of the braking possibilities at any time. Yes the independent is more for stopping the locomotive, but it can be used to slow down the whole train.
Oh no it's not. Geez!! It's a violation of most company rules (such as BNSF) for using the independent brake over 10 mph regardless of light power or cars.
@00023smitty It was taken out. They are removable. On our railroad we take the reverser out when & hang it out the window to show our breakman that we will not be moving the train. When the breakman see's the reverser he or she is then allowed to make the air connection between the cars or locomotive. It only come out in the neutral position & the locomotive can not be moved when it is out
@dwdrums828 i mean greenville NC there is a town in NC called greenville don't tell me there is no greenville NC because greenville NC is MY home town
Wonderfull video. Also i recongnises some part of driver panel: reversing lever, throttle lever near the end of march but reversing and brake, who often manipulates, engine driver . We have and used also General Motors Diesel locomotive made in Romania in cooperation with GM - USA.
The "levers" (or whatever you prefer to call them), from left to right are: Reverser, Throttle, Train Brake and Independent Brake. The buttons from top to bottom are: Lead Axle Sand, Sand, Bell and Horn. Not a very complex set-up once you're familiar with it. Glad you liked the video!

If NS was so much better than CSX, then CSX wouldn't be in business. Each railroad has it's own up's and downs, so you're entitled to your own opinion. NS is #1 in safety, but that's because they fire any employee that fucks up, CSX is a little bit more lax with discipline.
@pznerd Like I said, NS is a much better railroad than CSX, and it's not just on safety. Better operating ratio, better track maintenance, better business development department, best safety record. There's a reason the FRA recognizes them as the safest railroad in the country. They're just a better company, and it's not just my opinion - it's widely known in the railroad industry.
The SD70MAC had a faulty radio on the conductor's side and the arm rest was broken. Not to mention that it smelled in the cab, and it was ultra dirty. The GE was better!
The railroads frown upon anyone sleeping in locos. Unless of course your on one of the northern roads where they tend to get snowed in out in remote places. The same reasons why they have microwaves, fridges and hotplates.
I did in my other K920 videos, but not in this one. If the other workers at this place here the horn, they'll think it is an emergency, and stop unloading operations to make sure.
The derailment in KEnt i know well, i live there...We still use the same bridge! Had it closed while CSX took FOREVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR to clean it up...But they never replaced the bridge...
It sounds better than it once did. That very detector used to pronounce the "9" with a feminine sound to it. Luckily, it became so bad that CSX eventually replaced the audio. Thanks goodness!
Yes it does. The detector says "CSX, Equipment Defect Detector, Milepost 121.9, Track N/A, No Defects, Total Axles N/A, End of Transmission." The detector announces that a train has tripped it's circuit after the engines passed. But it doesn't say "No Defects" or the axle count until after the full train has been by. That is what Ron was confused about, and that is why he said "It doesn't say No Defects anymore."
First of all, unlike most YouTube railfans, I don't get "overly" excited about cabrides. I have been in the cab of enough locomotives to know what to expect, and not flip out. Secondly, you are partly right. It does become "another job", but it can be a fun experience. Depending on the mainline/railroad you pull for, you can run as fast as cars on the highway or faster. Trains aren't slow like everyone makes them out to be. And as for the lack of the steering wheel......who cares? Not a loss.
Yea, it would be awesome for the first few months. After a while, it might get boring, but it still would be interesting. But thats just my point of view on it :-)
gee it sure is foamer around here. as much as you filmed the cab of that engine in explicit detail I would say "First of all, unlike most YouTube railfans, I don't get "overly" excited about cabrides" = bullshit lulz. we are very displeased with you. also Ian would be pissed you didnt blow the horn.
First of all, I only film the cab in explicit detail for those who enjoy cab ride videos. I personally find all cabs identical, and would not mind having no footage at all. Secondly, I CANNOT blow the horn at any random time!! At Shelly Materials, they react as if it is an emergency, if the horn is blown. I don't want to cut all stone unloading operations, just for blowing the horn for fans on YouTube!
@CSXno601 all cabs are not identical. widecabs are very different than spartan cabs. try getting in an F-7 cab, that's nowhere near a cab in an AC4400CW.
I know that. I've ridden in several ALCO's, some of the older EMD's and even a couple E and F Units. The cabs do vary quite a bit. What I basically meant is that they all have the same feeling of being "cooped up", all seem dirty, and have the same basic functions. They become redundant, but they're fun to be in. However, the fun does have the tendency to wear off... Any railroader will tell ya that one!
@CSXno601 I definitely believe you on that....the fun indeed wears off. I think it's like that with any passion-turned-career. It has it's bits of fun but when you do it day in and day out, it's not as fun as when you were on the "outside looking in".
No, there is a shaker that losens the stone. The stone is emptied out the bottom of the hopper, where it is shoveled into a pile, and a dump truck comes and collects it.
CSX K920 operates between Carey and Kent, OH on an 'as required' frequency. It does not interchange any stone. It takes it from the company in Carey to Kent where it is unloaded and distributed. It is not running right now until Spring. There is a K919 that runs between Carey and Youngstown too that isn't running right now until Spring. It is the same setup as K920, only doesn't have a nice crew member like Bob Rohal. :)
Well, unfortunately, he seems to be one of the more 'pesky' trolls. But you're right, I should just start ignoring him. It's just some of the things he says are so "off the wall", that I have to respond. Oh well, thanks for the support! :)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Im almost sure this CSXNO601 is a poser and not a RR employee, im sure he thinks in his head that he is the main dude on you tube? He sure seems like he has some sort of wanna be RR child like fetish? I would not let him up on my locomotives. Id call the RR cops and tell them a crazy dude is on the loose
After reviewing BNCSXSF's profile, I have found out that he lives in Toledo, the same place that infantryUSA lives. JUST GET OVER IT! I have no problem with you. I am sick of you making new accounts just to screw around with me. He left a bunch of railfan-unfriendly comments on my "Fostoria 6/29/08" video, and after telling him to knock it off, he has been following me around, saying this kind of BS to me ever since. He cannot quit! He is the true definition of a internet loser.
Don't worry about it my man-typical of some you tube posters-they gain unlimited enjoyment making nasty comments, & have nothing better to do than cause strife & unpleasantness. Just keep on adding vids, & blow this you know what off. He's just another You Tube troll getting his "thrills."
I have ran into this individual a few other times. He needs to grow up and take his mental difficulties elsewhere. I want to keep my video comments civil, but with morons like this, I cannot. Glad you guys are sticking up for me. I appreciate it. Hopefully it'll teach him a lesson, but unfortunately, based on past experience with him, it probably won't....
He is not a damn POSER, YOU STUPID IDIOT FOR SAYING THAT and assuming it. Get off his back and stop all this complaining. So do all us railfans a favor and shut you fucking mouth up. Rich is a great railfan and knows what he is doing and alot of us actaully enjoy his videos and dont call him a wanna be!!! He has put up with you over and over again with this shit, so what now! Ya gonna put your tail between your legs, make another account
I like Rich's you tube videos. I read you responses and you come off sounding like a real know it all asshole. I personally think all you really know is how to jack your meat, if you can even do that right. So why not do us all a favor and shut the fuck up. Rich is a great guy and he has to put up with a fuckin jerk-ass stalker like you. Gonna change your account again retard?
I like the desktop controls myself. Except, of course, when we are making a reverse move. The fact that the horn, bell, sand and lead axle sand are in the form of a button, rather than whisker stick, or joy-stick (aka electronumatic switch), is nice. Although you cannot "milk" the horn with a button. It is also harder to see your co-worker when you have a control stand. They both have pro's and con's.
The GE widecabs all have the same cab set-up, but the locomotive itself performs differently. Except on the newer GEVO units, the locomotives are once again being equipped with AAR control stands.

ucvgabe 2 years ago
It sounds better than it once did. That very detector used to pronounce the "9" with a feminine sound to it. Luckily, it became so bad that CSX eventually replaced the audio. Thanks goodness!
CSXno601 2 years ago
yeah, CSX really does make good detectors, especially in the next stages if its needed.

@ucvgabe CSX doesn't make detectors...no railroads make them. they buy them!

wait, did he say No Defects ANYMORE????
ucvgabe 2 years ago
Yes it does. The detector says "CSX, Equipment Defect Detector, Milepost 121.9, Track N/A, No Defects, Total Axles N/A, End of Transmission." The detector announces that a train has tripped it's circuit after the engines passed. But it doesn't say "No Defects" or the axle count until after the full train has been by. That is what Ron was confused about, and that is why he said "It doesn't say No Defects anymore."

"Clean Cab"...It sure was! I love my train to havve a spotless cab myself. Was 7359 converted to dash controlls or somthing?
Landaux 2 years ago
7359 is a former Conrail, which had a desktop control stand since it was built. Pretty ratty inside that unit.

First of all, unlike most YouTube railfans, I don't get "overly" excited about cabrides. I have been in the cab of enough locomotives to know what to expect, and not flip out. Secondly, you are partly right. It does become "another job", but it can be a fun experience. Depending on the mainline/railroad you pull for, you can run as fast as cars on the highway or faster. Trains aren't slow like everyone makes them out to be. And as for the lack of the steering wheel......who cares? Not a loss.
CSXno601 2 years ago
Yea, it would be awesome for the first few months. After a while, it might get boring, but it still would be interesting. But thats just my point of view on it :-)
railfanner91019 2 years ago
gee it sure is foamer around here. as much as you filmed the cab of that engine in explicit detail I would say "First of all, unlike most YouTube railfans, I don't get "overly" excited about cabrides" = bullshit lulz. we are very displeased with you. also Ian would be pissed you didnt blow the horn.
o0O0oK5LAo0O0o 2 years ago
First of all, I only film the cab in explicit detail for those who enjoy cab ride videos. I personally find all cabs identical, and would not mind having no footage at all. Secondly, I CANNOT blow the horn at any random time!! At Shelly Materials, they react as if it is an emergency, if the horn is blown. I don't want to cut all stone unloading operations, just for blowing the horn for fans on YouTube!
CSXno601 2 years ago
@CSXno601 all cabs are not identical. widecabs are very different than spartan cabs. try getting in an F-7 cab, that's nowhere near a cab in an AC4400CW.

CSXno601 1 year ago
I know that. I've ridden in several ALCO's, some of the older EMD's and even a couple E and F Units. The cabs do vary quite a bit. What I basically meant is that they all have the same feeling of being "cooped up", all seem dirty, and have the same basic functions. They become redundant, but they're fun to be in. However, the fun does have the tendency to wear off... Any railroader will tell ya that one!
CSXno601 1 year ago
@CSXno601 I definitely believe you on that....the fun indeed wears off. I think it's like that with any passion-turned-career. It has it's bits of fun but when you do it day in and day out, it's not as fun as when you were on the "outside looking in".

Are you guys rotary dumping?
KutWrite 3 years ago
No, there is a shaker that losens the stone. The stone is emptied out the bottom of the hopper, where it is shoveled into a pile, and a dump truck comes and collects it.

What kind of engine was that, Gevo, sd70ACe?
cnrailfan 3 years ago
The 7359 was a C40-8W, and the 545 was an AC4400CW. I rode mostly in the 545.

Does, CSX K920 works with interchange train on limestone loads/empty?
And, awesome video as ever! ^^
FlyBikes089 3 years ago
CSX K920 operates between Carey and Kent, OH on an 'as required' frequency. It does not interchange any stone. It takes it from the company in Carey to Kent where it is unloaded and distributed. It is not running right now until Spring. There is a K919 that runs between Carey and Youngstown too that isn't running right now until Spring. It is the same setup as K920, only doesn't have a nice crew member like Bob Rohal. :)
CSXno601 3 years ago
Oh, I see! Thanks for your info :)
And, that where you was sit with CSX crew so he really not as friendly to you as much?

There's some real raw footage you can't ever replace.
Look, when you ignore a spammer, they go away, ok?
This is a great video that I'm glad you shared with us. You can't ever get more authentic then this video.

Well, unfortunately, he seems to be one of the more 'pesky' trolls. But you're right, I should just start ignoring him. It's just some of the things he says are so "off the wall", that I have to respond. Oh well, thanks for the support! :)

Im almost sure this CSXNO601 is a poser and not a RR employee, im sure he thinks in his head that he is the main dude on you tube? He sure seems like he has some sort of wanna be RR child like fetish? I would not let him up on my locomotives. Id call the RR cops and tell them a crazy dude is on the loose
BNCSXSF 3 years ago
After reviewing BNCSXSF's profile, I have found out that he lives in Toledo, the same place that infantryUSA lives. JUST GET OVER IT! I have no problem with you. I am sick of you making new accounts just to screw around with me. He left a bunch of railfan-unfriendly comments on my "Fostoria 6/29/08" video, and after telling him to knock it off, he has been following me around, saying this kind of BS to me ever since. He cannot quit! He is the true definition of a internet loser.
CSXno601 3 years ago
Don't worry about it my man-typical of some you tube posters-they gain unlimited enjoyment making nasty comments, & have nothing better to do than cause strife & unpleasantness. Just keep on adding vids, & blow this you know what off. He's just another You Tube troll getting his "thrills."
Donkey9900 3 years ago
I have ran into this individual a few other times. He needs to grow up and take his mental difficulties elsewhere. I want to keep my video comments civil, but with morons like this, I cannot. Glad you guys are sticking up for me. I appreciate it. Hopefully it'll teach him a lesson, but unfortunately, based on past experience with him, it probably won't....

Why does CSXno601 keep talking like he is a RR engineer? He is not, hes a poser.

Hey Dickhead,
I like Rich's you tube videos. I read you responses and you come off sounding like a real know it all asshole. I personally think all you really know is how to jack your meat, if you can even do that right. So why not do us all a favor and shut the fuck up. Rich is a great guy and he has to put up with a fuckin jerk-ass stalker like you. Gonna change your account again retard?

I also hear you band your knees on the desktop controls. It hasn't happened to me, but I guess if it happens, it happens.
CSXno601 3 years ago
I like the desktop controls myself. Except, of course, when we are making a reverse move. The fact that the horn, bell, sand and lead axle sand are in the form of a button, rather than whisker stick, or joy-stick (aka electronumatic switch), is nice. Although you cannot "milk" the horn with a button. It is also harder to see your co-worker when you have a control stand. They both have pro's and con's.
CSXno601 3 years ago
The GE widecabs all have the same cab set-up, but the locomotive itself performs differently. Except on the newer GEVO units, the locomotives are once again being equipped with AAR control stands.
