[roxxma]

When was this filmed? I was on train 2254 from NY to Boston on Sunday 9/14...

[MNRRConductor2006]

The same day!! Yes, YOU were taped and didn't even know it!! :-D This is right after you left Stamford, you pass our yard and facility about 1/2 mile east of the station.

[roxxma]

Haha, pretty good! I was in the last car on the left side...

Looks like someone forgot to shut off the Headlights and put on the marker lights. LOL

Among the many things Amtrak "forgets" to do. lol

[MNRRConductor2006]

Hey hey hey lol.....I have forgotten the heads on the rear of a train, mainly after backing a train out of NH Yard into the station, and one time at Brewster (NY, Harlem Line)

[MNRRConductor2006]

Glad I am not the only one who noticed that!! Then again, on a few occassions when backing a train out of New Haven Yard into the station at NH, I have inadvertently left the headlights on, and have been tipped by westward trains that I left them on. It happens!! :-D

It sounds like there are a lot of things to remember. I can see how it's easy to forget. I bet there's more to remember on Amtrak than on MNRR.

[MNRRConductor2006]

Sooooooooooooooooo not true, man!! The job responsibility and duties are the same, as are many rules, regulations to be abided by, and things like territory physical characteristics and such.

[murjax]

Well I didn't know. I don't work for the railroad yet. I just figured because Amtrak was bigger that there would be more responsibilities, but I guess not.

[MNRRConductor2006]

I often laugh at how much I forget, simple things like that!! What sucks is when you get that tingly feeling that you are forgetting something, but can't put your finger on what it is (i.e. checking if I have enough ticket stock on my person, did I leave my radio in the cab, or my punch and such!!)....guess I am getting old!! LMAO :-D  But yes, the duties are the same.....just we here at MNR make juuuuuuuuuuuuuuust a lil' bit mo'!! ;-)

[murjax]

I can't really agree with the fact that age is the sole cause of that, because I'm only 16, and I've forgotten stuff that was so obvious. I think it just happens under preasure. When there are so many things to remember.

[MNRRConductor2006]

I was there not that long ago, I'm only 31! lol  But some days you feel like a dinosaur!! :-D
