It was a pleasure to work with Toby and his brother Dyck Brocollo they had many great suggestions on train handling…great memories as I look back on how fortunate I was to be lucky to learn from these two great locomotive engineers..👍 I was on that trip when that video was taken..
I was working on the Glenogle section(Golden East to the Wst. Sdg. Swt. Leanchoil) on that day way back in 89. Sure do miss Via Psngr. Extra # 1 & # 2. Never did get a chance to say thank you to all the guys in the running trades for tossing out (potable water) for us thirsty track dogs so "THANKS. "
This is one of the strangest Videos ever made. Who would give a damn about what a ride on a train is like at Night - in the Snow - and you can't see anything about the countryside? Only a Nut.
This is the best train cab ride video on TH-cam by far.
No music or garbage, just the true day-to-day routine.
Just Fantastic!!

Henry, are you still at it?
You'd have to be a railroader to understand and appreciate the videos. I can sit and watch this all day long.

I've been a railfan since a child and this was fascinating to watch! Thank you for posting this
Thank you for sharing these Toby Broccolo is my Grandpa its such a treat to come back and watch them over and over again!!!!
two good guys and Hoggers. Toby scared the heck out of me on a trip back from stoney after a push, across the bridge on a set of pushers.
Nice ride-a-long. It would be nice to see what it looks like in the day.
Thanks for posting.
This is awesome, thanks so much for posting aye!!
Nice, I love these cab ride segments
Didn't know that there was desktop control F40PH, thought they were all control stand, cool!
Nice to see it from the head units perspective
You can also see more of Toby on the video CP Rail's Rogers Pushers by the former Rail Innovations. Tobe was a character for sure.
John would you have a link to the video?
