If I had a dime for every cab I snuck into, I would make Bill Gate's treasure look like lunch money.

Now if I could only see how to start one of those beauties.

WOW When I knew about the existence of this kind of locomotive I had always been wishing to be on board. Finally I have got it. It is also nice to apprecciate the idling motor. I understand GENSETS as these locos are called are only used for yard work and some local switching. Is not it?

@Trains4003 what do you mean by basic math you mean like adding and subtracting ? cause then that must be easy as hell to be a up employee

These are nice locomotives. I've saw a few CSX ones go by where I live. I cant wait to operate them one day!

How much do you get for being a train engineer/driver/whatever?

great Video, I would like to see the cabs of the SD70ACe and Gevo's. If you have time

Awesome! GenSets I'm fifteen and live in NH, but I am interested in working on a railroad as an engineer. An egineer 2 years ago from Pan Am Railways let me drive a loaded coal train at 15mph for 6 miles to a powerplant! It makes me want to work on a RR and I want to try to take a railroad internship for a summer. Is that possible on a class 1 Railroad do you think?

I heir a SD70ace in the background.

@CSXno601 you'd probably need all that for bail if you were caught >.<

@DandADiesel Thanks..and Yes, your right...the QSK's of course being an ongoing / industrial version of the old KT / KTA series of the 70's which, besides having industrial applications, were also utilized in OTR class 8 semis. Good " eye " on the turbo !!
do you need any real education stuff to be an employee?

No just basic math and reading. There is a simple reading test before employment.

Sure I'm a railfan and eveything. This isn't brave, it's plain stupid. It's people like this that are ruining the hobby for the rest of us.

Excuse me but I am a Union Pacific employee! I would not recommend any railfan do this. If you not an railroad employee you are trespassing. The railroad is not kind to trespassers. Trespassers don't realise how much danger there in. Please be safe out there railfaning. I was posting this video for a friend who loves the Genset loco's. I was putting this on here for foamers who would like to see this loco inside.
