@BUICK925 Good Luck, you probably need College Degree, Class B CDL with Passenger endorcement and airbrakes, and years of train driving experiences. and probably total of $6000 for the training program maybee. I have my Class A CDL with Tankers and Hazmat endorcement but no driving experience and Swift asking me $4000 to get in to their acadamy.

what was that odd dome car on 195-453's train, ahead of the dining car and two ahead of the dome car

[railstoruin]

That's really a nice tribute of you! It's good to be reminded of the people who continue to work hard while we rest. It reminds us that we're all a part of the same society, and that sometimes we have to make personal sacrifices for the greater good! Thanks!

thats a Semi truck backing in and pulling away at 2:01 that must be very hard to back a semi like that.

[Amtrak79mph]

Interesting power on the second Amtrak.

[Amtrak1194]

As long as there's rails on ballast there's engineers in cabs!

[sideslide23]

@Amtrak1194 Caltrain has been going bankedrupt because of budget defict, and since there getting les ridership, they should just run the train with just one cars just like that at 2:02 thats more economical.

The first couple of shots is where I shot the one of the starlights in my starlight video!

[Coastergeekperson04]

I was hoping for some decorations.

Dude it was just a Equipment move.

@sideslide23 You are way off, Caltrain is going to be using its regular consists (until they go electric), if you pause at 2:26, it says that the yard train was turning the cab car around. That kind of consist could not fit all of the people that ride Caltrain daily.

[sd40u]

amtrak's trains look so strange to me, I'm used to VIA rail's classic budd cars or LRC coaches

[gpphx]

Great catch with the switcher at the end there. Great shot looking into the cabcar itself :)
