Interesting, though. From what I've been told and have read a good number of locomotives engineers dislike the desktop control stands and prefer the traditional AAR setup with the control stand to the left. One engineer who was tall complained that his knees always hit the underside of these desks.
That "Stretched out diamond" in the middle of the track is additional rail that has been placed there over a short bridge. It is there in case the train derails--it is supposed to "trap" the wheels and keep the train from going over off the bridge onto the ground below. Almost all bridges and trestles have these--whether they really work all the time is debatable with some of today's top-heavy stack trains.
@secret1service the train brake is the air brake (applies brakes on cars & all locomotives) & the independent brake applies brakes on the locomotive(s) only
I like the Old EMD cab,its better than levers & no offense,u look like an idiot pushing a button 4 a horn rather than the old horn mechanism found on old EMD cabs.really cool video thought,that train looks easy 2 drive
I wanted everyone to know that: I have NEVER known anyone to call any locomotive cab an "office enviornment" and the control stand a "desktop console". Lol
@trainman2816 Where can I see a glimpse at them? If it's at the end, then they really got the script screwed up, as that would be a pair of GEs sandwhiched in between EMDs.
@kdevies: There are almost always 2 people in the cab. In this case, it's the engineer & conductor. Amtrak long distance trains & many regionals are the only trains w/ 2 engineers in the cab since the conductors are in back in the train. In the past other people that would've been in the cab w/ the engineer are the fireman & the brakeman. Today, if there's more than 2 people, then the 3rd is a switchmen.
@TrainDr101 What did the fireman and brakeman do. What was their job? Somewhat similar happened in aircraft. There used to be a flight engineer. Now, modern computers have automated their function.
@JetMechMA: The fireman comes from the steam days. He was the one who made sure the fire was hot & the boiler had enough steam being produced. That position was held on to when diesels came but was slowly given up. The brakeman used to have to set the brakes on the train by hand until Westinghouse's invention of the airbrake. Most brakeman positions were kept for switching duties (since they did this as well). If there's a 3rd person on a freight train crew, then that person is the switchman.
@JetMechMA wWhen the engineer got too drunk, the fireman took over. when the fireman got too drunk, the head brakie took over. Between all three you should be able to get to your destination. That was back in the good ol days of course.
The narrator's comments are ironic as quite a number of locomotive engineers, reportedly, dislike the desktop control system and would take the AAR style controls on the left side hands down.
@TrainDr101 OH cool! I had to go through the Bluew Mountains for my class trip to Wyoming. I love eastern Oregon and the Bluew Mountains. The Bluew Mountains reming me a lot of Colorado.
Wonderfull video. Also i recongnised 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 problem with these damned desktop controls is that you can't switch very well with them if you have to pick up or set out something en route. They're OK for passenger locos but not that great for freight service.
my farther works for the gwilli railway in wales england,,when i go over to visit he lets me take the controls....love it...look it up...smaller scale thugh...lol...
This economy blows right now so good luck getting a job. I'v been trying to get a train crew job with BNSF/UP for the past 5 months now and their hiring is WAY down due to the economy.
@rbfishcss lol, ive been trying to get one for 4 years. I started looking when they didnt have ANY jobs posted. When one finally came up, I didn't get the job. Prob a previous employee who got it.
Look for an open postion as a conductor trainee. You're in a classroom for a few weeks, then you're a student conductor. Usually your first job is being on the extraboard. Once you've been a conductor for 1 to 2 years you look for and engineer trainee postion.
Yeah it's from the Blue Mountains Volume 2 by video rails. I got this video years ago since I live in La Grande. However, I noticed on the box cover and even on the new DVD release by pentrex, it says it shows a cab ride from a Dash-8. Yet the only cab rides are from a sd40-2 helper unit and the above SD60M.
You notice that the narrator says "one of the locomotives failed" ... then when the consist rolls by the second GE is silent, all of the EMDs are plugging away!
well there are these steel things called tracks, and while on them the really long things (trains) cant go in any direction but where the one the other long things (tracks) lead.
Probably. Actually you don't even have to drive it because theres no steering wheel. it just goes where the tracks go. Of all the freight lines in the US this is probably one of the hardest because it could be pretty easy to stall the train if theres snow and ice on the rails.
not calling you a liar, but I run from cheyenne to north platte, and there is about a 3 mile stretch of a 2%+ grade at archer just leaving cheyenne. and another near kimball. simply if you don't hit 50 at the bottom of the hill, and aren't in notch 8, you simply won't make it with a loaded grain train or manifest. thats even when its dry, now just imagine a blizzard, wind plus the moisture playing aginst ya =) even better, they put a signal at the top of the hill, imagine trying to stop haha
yeah. Do you get in alot of trouble with whoever is in charge of keeping trains on time if you don't make it up the hill? I don't know who is in charge of that maybe dispatchers or roadmasters or someone like that.
well each yard has a time schedule they need to be on, but yea we really don't get in that much trouble, they just aren't very happy when we have to back a train down 10 miles back at 5mph to get a running start and try it again haha
Well thats good. I really want to work for the railroad but I'm somewhat colorblind. I can usually tell the difference between green, red, yellow but I sometimes get red and yellow confused. So I think that pretty much eliminates jobs like engineer or conductor. There are contact lenses that correct color vision but I don't know if the railroad would allow me to where them because there are kind of a new thing and they might be skeptical of them. Do you know?
Thanks. I don't know for sure if I'm still going to want to be a train engineer when I'm ready to apply for a job but ever since I was little I've always wanted to work for the railroad. We'll see what happens.
@gp40mc Being a railroader is very hard work! Here'ssome advice! When you start training for a railroad, do not act like a know it all! Sit back and keep quiet! I've seen trainees get fired because people think that just because they've read trains magizine or have a family member on the railroad they know everything. Railfanning is totally different from the real deal. The Norfolk Southern training in McDonough, GA was damn near like being back in Boot Camp. Very strict!
@8747csx had always been a dream of mine. but im medically ineligible for this. if i cannto drive a truck i sure as hell cannot work onboard oen of these
@gp40mc After 1 or 2 years as a conductor it is automatic promotion to engineer. You dont have a say so in the matter. If you dont pass engineer school on Norfolk Southern its automatic termination of employment. Good engineers will be training you even before its time to go to engineer school. Also just because you're an engineer doesnt mean that you will not be doing conductor work. Rookies take back seat to Seniors. Get used to the 12 and 8 work shift! 12 hours on 8 hours off is your life!
@8747csx alright thanks, yeah I've heard the hours are rough and I understand you can get "bumped" from your job by an employee with more seniority and have to take a job at a different location. That doesn't sound fun.
@roasted420 Actually, "bumped" is a correct term. If you actually look at our work rosters (BNSF), the board your placed on when you've been displaced is actually called the "bump board".
I guess it's which railroad you work for and what part of the Country you're in. On the L&N, my dad used to talk about getting "kicked" off his Hazard 4 mine-run job he held for about 6 months--7:00am and you were home for dinner..Of course with his seniority, he could just kick somebody else..lol
@roasted420 Thats the beauty of seniority, unless your the bottom guy, there's always someone else to bump! But yeah, I figured it was probably a regional thing. We had a bunch of crew's loaned to us in the NW that were from Texas, thier verbage for certain things varied from what we called it. Railroad dialects I guess!
@8747csx 12 on 8 off must be the most appalling working conditions imaginable. I have to tell you guys that we are light years ahead of you in working conditions down under. A minimum of 11 hours off unless you are at an away from home rest location where no travelling to and from work is needed. Then it is a minimum of 8 off. 5 weeks a year annual leave, 1.3 weeks a year long service leave payable after 10 straight years......yep, 13 weeks off on full pay if you want it plus your 5 annual.
Man I love the sound of the bell that's always swinging back and forth. Me and my granddad would go and stand down by the tracks and wait for the burlington northern to come through, those were the days....
look buddy i dont care. 3 window SD60s are called SD60MS and you will call them SD60MS DO you hear me? dual window SD60s are SD60MS. Standerd cab SD60s are called SD60s dont be a gay ass. Foamers are awsome.
Many thanks for this video. At the end when the helpers are joined, what type of loco is the 3rd one from the front, it sounds different to the others, kind of stutters?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Cause its a dash 8-40c which is a GE loco and the first two are sd40-2s and there made by emd......different types of engines and power make diff sound etc...
I dont know, but I say yes because after that most of the egines built after the SD60s had desktop controls. P.s. SD60s debuted in 1989 along with the B23s.

They weren't required when this footage was taken. The FRA regulation went into effect in 1997.

@keithcar: No unit that has a Spartan cab has desktop controls.

Do SD60's with spartan cabs use desktop controls?
keithcar 3 years ago 18
I dont know, but I say yes because after that most of the egines built after the SD60s had desktop controls. P.s. SD60s debuted in 1989 along with the B23s.

NO, they use the standard control stands like the SD40-2's
