      ​@@PghDonI've seen and heard this engineer a couple of times. I've been on the WAS-PGH segment of the Capitol Limited with a woman engineer. I believe Metra has a few too.

      It's a daytime run. One Engineer only. On some long overnight runs like STL Southbound, there are two. They spell each other and repeat signals verbally.

    What train was this? According to Amtrak schedules, the only train passing thru Lincoln is the Califorinia Zephyr, stopping in Lincoln @ midnight or @ 3:00AM east/west bound.

    Nice seeing the woman engineer doing the work. Woman Power! I think there needed to be another seat filled though, no matter if by woman or man, its more eyes looking out even if someone says theres no need in some areas.
    Some day, as is usual with two men, that'll happen with two women as regularly.

    • @The_DuMont_Network
      @The_DuMont_Network 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Some overnight runs require a crew of two.They share the driving, and act as a safety observer for the active Engineer. Example: Train 21 arrives STL with one Engineer, but leaves with two as they face the overnight run.

      Okay, with easier or smaller matters to contend with, single crewing is done.
      I still think trains and planes which are big, fast and or long-haul need both sides occupied just because they aren't like smaller and slower transportation. Both sides were designed for two operators even if with locomotives one side has most of the controls while planes have both sides fully controllable.
      I've read there's a push for single crew operations on trains and planes where there are currently regulations for two members. And with some routes or times proving it's okay as a set example to do that on the same trains and planes, there may be that happening on more routes or times of day with companies pushing for that, though there's been some recent news that idea was abandoned by some companies' officials who were pushing for that.
      Single crewing not only changes or eliminates jobs, but it takes out that pair of eyes which can see what one pair can miss and can view more angles on the side those eyes become removed from.
      It also means for checklists (pilots do) there's no one to reflect that list to, not sure about trains on that matter, but it's always great for someone to hear and confirm preparations and operations are going right and to correct between the two members if not.
      Semi trucks have two sides with only one side of controls. They are big, however not as big, can stop faster and they can swerve. And so those seats are often empty, or can be occupied for driver teams or by drivers' passengers.
      Without a lot of experience in transportation operations beyond private pilot training (which becomes single operations) and airplane maintenance, I just think some forms of transition need all the people who'll fit in and be there for us who ride, live and or work near these transportation systems. 😊

    • @The_DuMont_Network

      Search for GCOR. or "Railroad dying on the Law". IIRC, total time from markup to mark off is 11 hours, I believe operating is 10 hours max. The rule runs to the minute. Dispatchers play a serious chess-like game, estimating when and where crews will "Die on the law" in order to have replacement crews before time is up. Sometimes vans take replacement crews to meet the trains if there is a delay or other reasons, such as predicting a new crew might not be able to make it to the next replacement stop. Practically, the railroad schedules crew changes at stations, but crew changes can happen at any convenient siding, crossroad, or even the side of the road. The incoming crews are "on the clock" as are the crews being relieved. Sometimes trains might be diverted to a siding, the crew taken off, and another crew sent out much later as availabilities and scheduling. Without proper planning, a train could be stopped on the main line in the middle of nowhere. Penalties for violating these rules are really really stiff.
      Now that I think of it, only the Engineer/Freight Conductors have this stringent set of rules. I am not aware that passenger (Onboard COnductors, trainmen, etc.) crews can "die on the law", but they, too have hour limitations. Sleeping car, dining attendants, snack bar attendants ride the entire route but have rest/meal periods.

      ⁠@@thud9797Crews will stay in a hotel paid for by the railroad if they’re not at their home base. I’m unsure what the crew jobs are on the Zephyr, but on the Chief, the LA based crews stay at a hotel in Kingman for the day until #3 comes and they take it back to LA.

      @@owenthetrainman7219 There was a great Engineer on the Crescent from NOL-ATL. Haven't ridden it in a while, but she was one of the smoothest operators. Sweet, gentle lady, but I do believe that you would monkey with her at your own great peril. She even posed for pix with kids, especially little girls. I remember one who told her she wanted to be an Engineer when she grew up, she got a great big hug. Then we all hustled back to our rooms.
