The STB Was Warned. East Palestine Derailment update. June 2024.
Everyone needs to hear this, especially the residents of east Palestine. The STB and FRA were warned about car inspections not being done correctly due to retaliation. The people who are being paid by us tax payers have knew a year prior to East Palestine.. This is BS and unacceptable. The @surfacetransportationboard8768 needs to also be held accountable for sitting by and not doing a damn thing.

FRA Supports 2 Man Crews?? Good News
Просмотров 2,5 тыс.6 месяцев назад
The fight for 2 man crews has been going on well before I ever started as a freight conductor. With the huge derailment last year in Ohio we knew right then this showed the importance of having a conductor on the head end. The Engineer, Conductor and Conductor trainee saved lives that day thanks to their team work, Training, and preparedness. Join this channel to get access to perks: ruclips.ne...

Railroad Strike Coming? No need to Panic
I retired in 2004 as a Locomotive Engineer with 30 years of service, made my Engineers date on the Southern Pacific, and flowed over to the UP after they acquired the "Ol' Friendly." SP Their descriptions are accurate, but it's when a Trainmaster orders you to go and pick up a cut of cars about 20 miles away with an hour and a half left on hours of service that changes the Kumbaya outlook about the railroad. I never made it back to my T.U. point, died on the hours of service in the siding, and then an official accused me " that I wasn't a team player. "TERRIBLE!." And waited a couple of hours before a ride showed. Altogether, it was about 14 hrs. + on duty. :> Be prepared for moments like that if there is such a thing.
I plan on working for the Union Pacific as a first big job
Are the hard hat workers maintenance construction railroad workers or does it depend on what's going on
Hello guys. I have an oncoming interview for locomotive engineer apprentice. Do you think it’s a stable job or I always have to be afraid of being fired even if there is no serious reason? Thank you. The interview is with CN
do you think 32 is too late to career change into the rail industry in 2024?
@@alexkbenjamin no! 32 is great. Give you time to get your 20 years in with 8 years to spare just incase of a furlough or medical issue. Retire at 60!
@@Railroad_Talk you're the best! thank you
28 year CSX engineer here. When I first saw this video, I laughed my ass off! If there is anyway to sugarcoat a career in transportation, this is it!! Lol
Your just hating on the guy man. Your not even giving him a chance
@@fabianfarias3635 not the guy, I’m just bashing his lines. I don’t know the man personally but I have been told by a lot of people he is a solid guy and a great trainer. In reality he was more than likely saying what he was told to say to make the video.
Complete irrelevant but I notice you wear Nucor hats a lot are you still on the trains or with Nucor?
@@CodyGates I was with nucor and have moved on to one of their biggest competitors. Nucor is a great company to work for and you’ll have a work life balance. Highly recommend applying with them as long as it not nucor tubular products in Birmingham Alabama.
@@CodyGates if you are in the Birmingham area, the bar mill is best. If nothing is open there and the tubular plant is the only option get in get your time in and transfer out to the bar mill after your year.
@@Railroad_Talk I’m currently trying to get on the rail road and out of the steel mills lol I was just curious
@@CodyGates oh I got cha lol. It may take a little time but based on what I have been seeing recently, around the first of the year hiring should pick up a lot.
@@Railroad_Talk good deal I’ve been binge watching your videos trying to get a better understanding of the rail industry so far you haven’t disappointed keep up the good work
I would love to get a job in a very old system but why is it so hard to get in?
@@jihadjones5978 competition is the main thing. When I hired out with NS the HR manager told us NS receives about 5,000 applications a week. Obviously someone isn’t going through each resume. They have some sort of vetting process and the number 1 tip I can give you for your resume to at least get looked at is to put no on Tobacco use and 100% willingness to travel if you’re looking to become a conductor. 👍🏼
Hi it's Ronald I just subscribed to your channel
I've been an extra board merchant as a train operator for my first 2 years at my local agency. I don't mind the variation. In fact I don't see my self enjoying doing the same run every single day for a full quarter. I was able to bid for someone's work who is on long term leave and I get to do every line within the entire week with a set schedule now which is pretty cool.
How about sunny and 105 on the railroad😂😂😂
Amazing bullshit content. Basically propaganda for corporate. There is only ONE thing you need to know about working for ANY class 1 railroad: PROFIT IS GOD. They will do literally ANYTHING for profits, and if that means abusing you, bend over. Unless you LOVE the job, it's simply not worth the abuse and bullshit.
Yep, that sounds about right. 48h before heading home.
Not Birmingham! Atlanta Georgia
Mr. Jones is the hulk at the reddit center. However, he used to be fat as butter beans
They weight just around 80 pounds. 75 lb is just right at least.
The beginning is full of crap 😂😂😂😂. They call and tell you what train you're going to catch. Some crew callers will talk for 20sec and goodbye.
Not enough
I was a retail manager for 17 years. Been in sales for 2 and worked on a freight dock as a supervisor for 2 years. Hired out with UP in 2018. I love my job. I enjoy the guys I work around. I love showing up, doing my job and going home. No emails, conference calls, meetings. I have to answer for me and only me. Wished I would've hired out in '98 after college.
I plan to be an engineer for BNSF, and I still am making plans for what year I am going to take the course to become one, what are the requirements to work as a locomotive engineer or conductor for BNSF? If you can’t answer that’s fine, I hope you’re having an awesome day
Might as well be one man crew, idk how many times I looked over and seen the hogs head weighting about 50 pounds lol them old head be getting real sleepy.
I left trucking to focus on family. That was a huge learning lesson for me. Living to work is good if you don't have family waiting at the house. If you have family waiting it's all about that time. We only get one shot. To any business you're just another number & replaceable. To your family, you're the only number that matters, and you're irreplaceable. I have loyalty to no company they can either support me and my family. How I dictate is correct, or I'll turn my service truck in.
Sounds an awful lot like trucking….😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Are there any other color vision tests besides Ishihara offered to new hires?
There’s no doubt that less traditional jobs than the 9-to-5 ones have become commonplace. That said, it’s important for railway companies to give anyone higher to do a safety-critical job, if shift work is involved, more notice than just 3-5 hours or so. Working in rail yards, not just driving trains, involves a lot of danger.
Well, that sounds completely terrible doesn’t it?
Depends on who you are.
Amtrak employees talking about Amtrak: "This place sucks!" Freight guys who come over Amtrak: "This is the land of MILK AND HONEY!!!" Some people don't know how good they have it.
Do you have any videos of radio calls? Example the steps to coupling a locomotive to a rail car? The step before coupling over the radio? Thanks!
Update: 3 weeks in GA are finished, meet the training coordinator locally tomorrow and start ojt before another week in GA So far it’s going well
Csx training is in Atlanta Georgia, Darrell was my instructor at the redi center
I thought the FRA has people to spot check things. Or is the verb HAD?
Thank goodness there were two good crew persons in the cab.
Typical for CSX they derail all the time
yea doing a NOSE DIVE... not fun
A good engineer will put a little air in the cars to not jerk the conductor off. When I was a conductor I had a engineer I really didn’t like and he didn’t like me but you had to get along to work but he sure tried to yank my arm out of socket and im glad I figured it was going to happen so I had arm wrapped good
Wait that’s not all so true yes if you hire on to your close home terminal you will miss a lot but if people was smart and know how train operations work I know a guy that lives where I’m from but his home terminal is KY. So when I’m sticking in hotel for day or 2 at hotel and only 8 hrs at home he works it backwords his in the hotel 8hrs that’s his home terminal and he spends the 2days at home with wife and kids instead of hotel. Worked good for him but be real railroad has high divorce rate and after that divorce most have a woman on both ends of the run lol
You better read it back exactly the way the dispatcher tells you or you will be repeating it till you say everything exactly like they said it to you! lol over
I love my crew callers it’s not automated we actually talk to the crew caller I love when they ask me if I want call and ask if I want to take a flow back to a conductor spot as a engineer being the last of protected men left if I say know they have to restart my rest and roll me to the bottom of the board if I’m on a extra list. My 2nd year working can I spent the entire summer at the pool with my daughter still getting paid and as soon as I’d get to 2nd out I’d have my chance to drop a turn and roll to the bottom of the board I was still making same thing as if I was out on the train working almost.
