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.

[@SRILANKATRAIN]

Nice thank bro

[@Trains-With-Shane]

That's one stiff parking brake. Look at the paint worn off on the cab floor where you stand to release and tighten it!

[@gordonclark7632]

Boy does this guy like walking. If I wanted the scenic tour I would have watched something else.

[@BlackLabOutdoors]

Gordon Clark then why you don't watch something else?

[@endremarkus3134]

[@parteibonza]

if I went in there and moved all those switches around at night....would you know how to reset them correctly the next day? hahaha

Excellent, any chance you could give us a tour of the locomotives inside the sheds with your camera. Greetings from Ireland.

[@anestischatzirigas4626]

Bravo for your effort. I like locomotives. These one is from Hungary?

[@justsomegamer2285]

its from Serbian country

[@GaryNomy]

But it's made in Hungary.

[@istvanrakonczai8719]

Made by Ganz-Mávag Budapest Hungary

[@franzotto448]

Die Ungarn machen nicht nur gute Salamie und noch besseren Wein, im Maschinenbau sind sie auch gut

[@Gabriel-he6ih]

@@franzotto448 Vergiss nicht Raba und Ikarus

[@rossbryan6102]

NICE VID! GOOD SOUNDS ALSO!
DIESEL ELECTRIC DRIVE? WHEN YOU THREW THE REVERSER LEVER FORWARD AND BACK IT SOUNDED LIKE AN AIR OPERATED REVERSER DRUM IN THE HIGH VOLTAGE CABINET!

[@dusty.7792]

I'm pretty sure this Loco was made in Hungary.

[@robertwa1975]

you're right

[@CFRTrainSpotter]

Pozdrav! I believe that this locomotive is related, if not, the same model to the MAV M44 locomotive from Hungary, made by GANZ Mavag?
Also i'd like to see startup sequence of 461 series locomotive, if possible.
Greetings from Romania.

[@istvanrakonczai8719]

Yes, it's Ganz-Mávag DVM 12 with Pielstick engine.
