  • there is pilots for aircraft captains for shps what do they call a train operator?

  • Howdy,

    The person that drives the train is called the ENGINEER (right side) and the person that talks back and forth to dispatch is called the CONDUCTOR (left side) - It's as simple as that! ;-)

  • Nice video! I live in Salt Lake City and I would say more than half the trains that come through here have DPU units. In the last Four years I've been seeing more trains with DPU units than I've ever seen. I started noticing it right after the economy took a crap.

  • Where did that random horn blast at 4:32 come from?

  • that is a long stack train nice job filming

  • I beg to differ, electric trains may have their advantages over diesels. Diesels are more heavier and have more traction than electric trains. Horse power is speed and traction is power, that's why you see most freight railroads who know they haul some major tonnage go for GE or EMD Diesel electric locomotives. Electric trains are best for passenger services because of their speed.

  • electric trains can pull much more then diesels.

  • Dash 9s? Have you ever been on a GE motor? Im gonna say that the EMD SD40s are the true warriors, 40+ years of service, dont get much better then that!

  • damn i can feel the ground shaking in new york!!

  • they are known as DPU's or distributed power units.

  • another Santa Fe train on the transcon comprised of 4 GE's and trailers (or containers).

  • Chances are, they probably are.
