For the professional engineer who designs railway systems, see Railway engineering.
An engineer (American and Canadian), train operator, hostler or engine driver (British and Commonwealth English) is a person who operates a train. The engineer is in charge of and responsible for driving the engine, as well as the mechanical operation of the train, train speed, and all train handling. The use of the term engineer to describe this occupation in North America should not be confused with the usual meaning of engineer, as in someone who engages in design.
For many American railroads, the following career progression is typical: assistant conductor (brakeman), conductor and finally engineer. In the US, engineers are required to be certified and re-certified every two to three years. [1]
In India, a driver starts as a diesel assistant or electrical assistant (in case of electric locomotives). They then get promoted on a scale: goods, passenger, Mail / Express and Rajdhani / Shatabdi / Duronto. [2]
In the New Zealand, United States and Canada, train drivers are known as "locomotive engineers". In the United Kingdom, South Africa, and Australia they are known as "train drivers", "engine drivers", "locomotive drivers", or "locomotive operators".
An engineer is responsible for preparing equipment for service, checking paperwork and the condition of the locomotives. Their duties require that they control acceleration, braking and handling of the train underway. They must know the physical characteristics of the railroad, including passenger stations, the incline and decline of the right-of-way and speed limits. Along with the conductor, the engineer monitors time to not fall behind schedule, nor leave stations early. The train's speed must be reduced when following other trains, approaching route diversions, or regulating time over road to avoid arriving too early. The engineer assumes the duties of the conductor if the conductor is incapacitated.
The locomotive engineer is required to have an intimate knowledge of track geometry including signal placement so as to be able to safely control the train.
Maintaining concentration is of critical importance in this role.
Isn't it common in your county to test the locomotive you will use? No Break test, no safety-System tests!? You just enabled them and used them untested. I am a bit shocked. Btw .. the Siemens Vectron really don't likes it to abort the self test and not doing the safety and break tests.
Train stops. Whats wrong? Windows update.. 🤦♂️
You can see him get visibly frustrated
If I had to guess. Fetzer Valve needs to be prepped with some 3 in 1 oil and gauze pads
excellent video
thanks so much, brother
💞💚💞💚💞💚💞
great day... God bless you
I feel the same way when I play TSW
Hvala za video
Why you dont have you camera on your head?
Meinen größten respekt an dich. Der Wahnsinn das du da so den überblick hast. Ich bin neidisch :D würde sowas auch gern verstehen. Macht aber auch als Laie großen spaß dir zu zu gucken :)
Which os is used in the vectron ? I know the alstom prima runs on Windows 3.11 lol
looks like linux of some kind
Raymond Leggs no those are windows style dialog boxes. Probably runs some variant of windows CE
What happens when you push the 'PUB' button @19:58? Drinks served!
Would be interesting if you were commenting (English) or writing what you are doing or where the problem is.
😍great video sir
Call the service engineer!
Needs some WD-40 and a home Depot bucket for some hard work
Lovely video my friend
Wow
Nice 👍
Nice
Call Repair man
Maybe they were donated to museum for a reason
@ 6.31 priceless......Bit of chewing gum will sort that....... Ctrl, Alt, Delete usually does it on this to watch TH-cam...
Nice video and i see czech shunter locomotive, thenk you.
Vectron na miniatuře že?
Velké lego, u nás jako 706
@@martintyczka8654 Díky.
Kad će vam u te stare rage da ubace neka nova sedila
HOUSTON, WE GOT A PROBLEM
Great video dear👍👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗🤗
I have to admire the modern day electronic Locomotive Cab but I don't have to like it. Give me an old Alco or EMD any day! Still, great job!
Siemens vectron booting ;D
Shit too early, 720p isn't there yet heh
Stürum?
Or if thats how you spell it. What does it mean?
Störung?
Its an error
I can tell. What kind of error?
@@Zeckmon3 Im not 100% Sure but it was a Test.There was no error.
this makes dicovery channel Highway Thru Hell a joke :D
I never seen the inside
alarms some time will go off if you dont relise what you are doing
17:30 Why when you hooked up the two air lines why were the couplings not also connected together? It could have been extremely dangerous if either locomotive had started moving for any reason without being physically tethered to the other locomotive.
DarkVoidIII: Well, obviously the locomotive driver does not want to couple the locomotives together, but with the help of the 2nd locomotive to fill up the apparatus air. This is also indicated by the fact that he has not coupled the main air line for the brake. This is according to the European standards those with the red coupling head and shut-off valve. Since the locomotives are not moved in this way, it is not necessary to couple them.
Wonderful!
bist du deutsch oder englisch?
He is Serbian
I see your problem right here , your version of windows is no longer supported,and this locos hardware is not compatible with the latest version of windows
Put it in rice
Wow, problems
Main-Spessart-Bahn?
Bahnbilder Allgäu whatever idk
You sure you know what your doing?
ha ha ha ... ovo je kod nas snimano
And I thought it was just turn the key press the starter button and go🇬🇧
lol
it is not a car !
Worrying. Can’t imagine that could happen here in the U.K. Mick🇬🇧
Thinking on. I wonder what Don Coffey would make of it.🇬🇧
Components. American components, Russian Components, ALL MADE IN TAIWAN!
Isn't IT in CZECH REPUBLIC???
No, it's in Serbia
These things are running windows 2000, no wonder they are failing all the time :D
predatorfe it’s more reliable then you may think. More reliable then newer versions of windows.
@@lukeWiz44 that old of a windows especially on a loco not. And the Vectrons hardware is very, very bad.
@@railfancroatia1141 they use older versions for a reason. Trust the professionals. Not some guy on the Internet.
@@lukeWiz44 i know many traindrivers...
Wow, this is pretty boring with no explanations of all the actions taking place.
Sok sibuk jalan jg kaga kereta nya,, dusun.
The button's broke! Try a hammer and if all else fails, grab a different Locomotive!
čak se moji WINDOWS-i dignu brže nego ova lokomotiva
- even my Windows are less slow than this piece of shit -
scrap it junk
Bedienen Sie keine Maschinen, für der Sie keine Ausbildung haben.
I just lost 35 minutes of my day......
