    I did their guest engineer experience a few years ago. Great fun, and if you are a dyed-in-the-wool railroad enthusiast, the best $75 you will ever spend. Nevada Northern in Ely, NV has a similar program that goes into more depth. And you can choose diesel, steam, or both.

    I was abrakeman for several years the job got so boring. Our motto was eat ,sleep, read!. Working the extra board had ya going every 8 hours it got tough. I lived in the Yard office parking lot for two years because I couldnt find an apartment, the land l;oard said ,I know about you Rails too much partieing!

    Not a terrible video on being an engineer. I was a Class I engineer and was taught to always have at least one notch of power on the throttle before releasing the independent (engine) brake when moving a train. It's really not a good idea to drift, unless a specific circumstance (like a steep grade) indicates that as the best move.

    • @stewartstewart273

    • @nsfbob
      @nsfbob 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sadly, no. Railroad tracks aren't for public use like roads, they're owned by the railroad companies. Hence the reason why there are no trespassing signs and so on

    • @LARailProductions

    • @Robotechnology101
      @Robotechnology101 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +20 20 in both eyes Easier to just join and get involved with a railway museum or rail preservation group that give train rides. It is far cheaper and easier to do that than it is to deal with the FRA and all the legal regulations and expenses that come with owning and operating a locomotive. I volunteer at a railway museum so I know a little about the costs and laws regarding the operation of a locomotive.

    • @kimjongkool228

    At 2:53, he threw the switch lever wrong. He ought to have been coached properly right from the start. He ought to have stood to where the switch stand lever would NOT come into his body (upon the initial raising of the the lever). Only after the lever has been raised to a horizontal position, then position one's body to where one can pull the lever toward one's body, in a smooth constant motion.

      By the colored " target " on the switch stand. If you're train is approaching a switch track & the target facing you is green, you will keep going down the straight track. If the target facing you is red, you will follow the curved track.
