Just so everyone else knows, you really got to have all the steps on your ladder to be able to make that run day after day.
I remeber this accident very well. It killed a young man and he left behind a wife and three children.
This unit is facing East. The train was going West.
I won't discuss details but it was a rearend collision. You must pay attention to block signals.
The cross is still there..the Engineer is of Native American decent. He ran to the reservation. Never heard from again.

You would definately get hired anywhere. Anytime you wanna come out here for a dull flat route, just let me know. 3 years to go, you have got to be pretty close to top of seniority roster(runeight @ Jan. 08 2007,15:23)no retainers..dynamic brake and air.(Black Bird Killer @ Jan. 08 2007,13:13)(runeight @ Jan. 08 2007,14:40) elevation..

Yeah, the typical response is - Oh, you drive a train? No! You dont drive a train. Pix definately put things into perspective. 12 hrs every day inside a locomotive with a toilet compartment thats smaller than a portapot.(runeight @ Jan. 08 2007,15:30)If I just stated my title then no one would really understand what I do thus the pictures.(Red05 @ Jan. 08 2007,13:26).....and there's the rest of us that actually work for a living
