  • You are so fucking lucky to have the job you do! I see your post where they treat you like children. But, damn! Love how you start the beast while on the road!

  • @jasinicus1 Like I said, I love the JOB but the outfit I work for is probably the worst place I have ever worked. Morale is VERY low. but The job is fun :) I get paid to ride around on trains :)

  • is that high sulfur deisel in that fuel ball?

  • @crazyjay1975 We get to run the "red" fuel (non taxable) and I believe it is the high sulphur.

  • These are without doubt, some of the best videos showing a SAFE train-worker actually enjoying his job. So many other Conductor / Engineers, hate the job, the work, the company, responsible railfans….

  • @w1ljw I do love my job, and sadly the reason the attitude on the railroad is so bad is due to our management. They treat us like children and are always trying to fire us. I love trains and I love railfans which is why I make these videos for you guys..

  • Fantastic video,great to see this done on the fly!!

  • Was that one of the 4 axle Dash 8s or was it a 6 axle unit? Also what's with the delay between turning the switch to start and the prime mover actually beginning to turn?

  • Can you walk us throught the switches you are hitting in the cab and what they do. I m a noob!!

  • Awesome Video!

  • @TrainCamera awesome man! If I wasnt a firefighter I would be a railroader. Good on ya!
