You mentioned cabs being nasty.... coming from mechanical side and supplying said locomotives... wish some of the crews would clean after them selves..
Bring lots of food and snacks guys ! 22 year rail here , nothing worse than being stuck in the middle of nowhere for 18 hours without food !
Red Oxx is the Cadillac of grips for railroaders. Also Autumn Creek is really popular and more affordable.
I highly suggest finding a framed pack. The durability and warranty of those bags are great. But with the weight that are put in our bags you need more support.
I don’t own one but although I see your point about better support, we don’t go rucking with our grip. Sure, I’ve had to walk to my train, at times, a little farther than normal, but I wouldn’t consider this an issue at all. To and from the train for most of us takes a couple of minutes, if that, each time
Like other have stated, Autumn Creek is no longer an option. They are no longer in business which is unfortunate for those who purchased a backpack since they will no longer be repaired for free.
As dear old dad pointed out you can always take off a piece of clothing but you can't put it on if you didn't bring it with you. Also all so true is that second pair of gloves because when you least expect it is when you'll need it
I remember dads grip He had a light , couple of r/r books, flairs, pens, and a shave kit. That’s about all he had. Never had food Or winter clothes
Get a EZ Red when you need 2 hands. It’s a light it goes around your neck it just goes around the back part and looks forward with you and you can flick that light on and you have light on your neck very handy and rechargeable
One thing to note I separate my local keys from foreign railroad keys on separate key rings that way if I happen to lose them on a local when your using them the most often you don't lose everything.
Awesome, informative video! Currently on my first OTJ and just finished my first week in the yard. This video helped for future references for future jobs. Thanks man
Id be more than willing to give advice on these as well. A good bag like this is a must. To be honest. Im in the process of building to seperate bags for the conductor roll. Im working to build my road bag and a local bag. All I would need to switch between the 2 is my tablet and radio. Also with the gaskets for rail cars. I use a chest pack for my radio and I put 4 or 5 gaskets on my chest pack strap. Plus it allows for me to play with them and make them more pliable.
That is the nicest bag I've ever seen - wow.
i like it. it's been perfect for working out here and I haven't had a single issue with it
Thanks Jon,
Autumn Creek has been closed for a while now. I really want some of their gear!
Damn I didn’t know that
Y'all carry TP in your Grips?
Ok
how much layover do u get in a week. r u on d road 5 days a week?
At 8:13 you mention the walk of shame, can you elaborate on that a little more? Even if its not in the railroad context!
😂😂😂 I’m not sure I wanna that story lol
@@RailsTailsandTrails My time in the Military working 3rd shift as an MP we used to watch the classic Walk of Shame!
I’ve heard the rail king doesn’t fit easily through the loco doorway. Can you share insight on that? Thanks
it fits fine. I haven't ever had to take mine off. That said nothing fits well through those doors. Watch your head as well going through those doors
Ain’t that the truth 🥴 thanks
Hey Jon thank you for the info. Is that the rail runner rucksack or the rail king rucksack?
That's the railking
Frogg Toggs FTW
Is it hard to become an engineer if you are a conductor?
Do you buy your gear or is any of it issued to you?
Some is provided by the company the rest is up to us. Every carrier is different though
When I was on the road I brought 3 days worth of clothes and 5 pairs of underwear, you never know when your gonna eat a bad gas station burrito.
Have you ever let a train hopper ride on your train?
nope. not gonna get fired over that.
@@RailsTailsandTrails feel that just wondering.
The majority of riders are never seen
