  • In 1969 i was traveling by express train from Takli, Thailand to Bangkok. We have a (literally) running crew change in Northern Bangkok. without the train stopping. The train slowed on a long curve and three men (puchi's) started dropping out of the lead engine one at a time. From the nearby village three men came running one at a time and started boarding the engine. After the first was aboard the train started speeding up. The last man really had to run at full speed to get aboard.

  • I agree thats when railroading was just that, railroading where they took care of their online customers, now they want to put it on the shortines to do it. That caboose is a classic no doubt! CSX makes their crews wear green saftey vests now on and off the locos. They can't even climb on the cars anymore to apply or release the brakes on the cars, they now use a pole with hook on it.

  • @troy12n I cringe watching this vid knowing how dangerous it is to do that nowadays, but to think, they used to teach you how to get on and off moving equipment

  • Gosh i miss that pain scheme...

  • "Three step applied."

    Yeah, right.

  • cant do that anymore...

  • really gr8 old clip

    train on !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Then you should know, but don't, that most of the operating rules for CSX employees were the result of disastrous and fatal accidents. Go up to the cemetery on top of the hill and see how many B&O employees were buried there after being killed at work in the yards.

    I have written extensively on the subject which you obviously have not.

  • Obviously you know nothing about history.

  • I agree. Anyone who can't handle a two foot or less drop from a >5 MPH vehicle is just soft.
