Chills went up my body when l saw that there was a Female engineer!!!! I was a passionate train lover. I wanted to be an engineer. I was not accepted bcuz I am a brown woman 👠👠👠🤣🤣🤣. I wanted badly to run that train. Today in my seventies l NEVER FORGOT. BUT...I STILL LOVE 🚂🚂🚂 TRAINS.
Hey great video ! a heads up train 59 on next Friday arriving in new orleans, should have 2 private cars on the rear ! And actually i will be on the train next Sat arriving in new orleans hopefully you can catch both days that would be cool !
Women may not be held back, but they are still on a lesser footing than men. They get paid less, hold fewer positions of power within employment hierarchy, are less likely to be promoted within certain fields and professions. The facts are there. Look at them.
Jerry Butler you obviously don't live beside a railway line, for the record I do and I'm familiar with the normal sounding of a train hooter. What's going on in this video is a trigger happy train driver getting his kicks from making as much noise as he can for no good reason. Gratuitous noise pollution by a guy who obviously thinks he can do whatever he likes with no consequences. If someone drove a train past his house and made this level of noise he would have plenty to say about it as would his wife and family. People who live beside railway lines deserve better than this. Most people who live beside railway lines are the ancestors of the people who lived there before the railway line was built and will be there long after the railway line is closed down due to lack of patronage.
due to the large number of street crossings that US tracks have they use the horn a lot ...there aren't many road free areas in the eastern US without road crossings...you have to get to the western states before you can find long stretches of track without road crossings
You know absolutely nothing about the railroad, so stop acting like you know what you’re talking about. It’s FEDERAL LAW for us engineers to honk the horn a certain way for EVERY railroad crossing ... unless otherwise exempted. It’s to prevent all the morons that run in front of our trains with the crossing gates down ... to stay back. It’s not there for fun, it’s there because we need to use it to prevent lawsuits etc in case we do strike a vehicle.
Flat all the way from Chicago to New Orleans. Interesting factoid. The train never crosses the Mississippit River. It crosses the Ohio River near the counfluence of the Ohio and the Mississippi rivers.
Blow the horn, hit a car. The engineer and railroad is NOT responsible. Don't blow the horn and hit said car and someone dies, the engineer can be arrested and I guarantee the least he will have happen is getting fired. Lawsuit takes care of that.
Bret Maverick you obviously didn't watch the video. This train driver was sounding the train horn while the train was stopped and not moving. This level of noise pollution would not be tolerated in my country or in most civilised countries. If the reason the train driver is sounding the train horn almost non stop is to warn car drivers at level crossings then these level crossings need to be protected by an automated full barrier system in order to avoid accidents. This is what happens in most civilised countries thus ensuring no accidents at level crossings and no noise pollution. If the rail company is not prepared to protect public level crossings with fully automated barriers than it should not be operating in the first place due to the obvious safety issues.
Conductor instructed the engineer to do a “whistle off” to warn passengers to get back on the train as they were preparing to depart. It’s fully allowed and protocol. The two honks before the train moves is the official departure blast indicating the train will begin moving. Again, no need to comment when you don’t know anything about railroad procedure.
@@510trackside5 I you were living beside this railway line and had to listen to this racket every day you would not be impressed to say the least. The level of noise pollution going on here is beyond anything I have ever heard. The fact that these trains are passing through unprotected level crossings adds to the farce of the situation and illustrates the extraordinary lack of basic safety on these railway lines.
@@bretmaverick1340 that's a silly law... That's how it should be: if the crossings are secured (flashing light, gates down, ...) It's the problem of the dumb driver getting on the tracks - not the problem of the railroad! Watch this video: ruclips.net/video/NyPJXlXqPq4/видео.html There's no need to honk here in Germany - so why in the USA?
Doesnt matter which gender that's fo kids. it matters if you get the job done.
What matters more, do you know what to do if something goes wrong. There are lives at stake!
Man, oh man do I love the sound of those GE engines!!

Michael Brandon I'll try and look for ya if I don't have to work
That would be very cool what stop is this ?

One of the great things about Amtrak is that they don't care what race, religion, or gender you are if you can do the job.
Leland Rogers Actually nobody does. But you're probably a Liberal and believe the nonsense women are held back.
Unless you’re white and male. Just look at the video.

@@FanRailer this isn't the late 20th century anymore, Women and Men are even.
Fan Railer I watched your vids ima huge fan
Awesome catch, great video
Two exclamation points as if it's a huge surprise a woman can be a train engineer. Smh
looks like Greenwood, MS. Been thru there a couple of times riding this train and one of my favorite Amtrak conductors works from here to NOLA.
Mary S What’s the conductor name ?
How much training and on the job training do they give a person before they turn them loose with one with the engines by themselves?
12 weeks of classroom training, then on the job as a "student engineer" learning the territory for about a year.
Great video -- of the train. Where's the female engineer? Maybe I missed her with the shaky video? Ever hear of a Tripod?
I love women engineers on the railroad Tina Johnson but it does N t show her
Ever hear of baby batter?
Great sound!
It surprises me how much trains in the US seem to horn.
Modelbaan TBM what’s wrong with that?
Budder Shark noise pollution for those people living nearby.

Only one locomotive. Must be all flat on that route with no hills.
That would be correct.

Cool
Love to see a female at the throttle of amtraks trains
I saw an ns crew change. With a lady conductor and engineer.
1:30 The female engineer thinks the Amtrak train is ready to depart that's why she blew a long horn.
Where was she?...I didn't see her!
I didn't either.
U can hear her voice on the scanner dummy
@@ChrisDotBih do better
She was up in the locomotive
I'd trust a female engineer more than a male for various reasons. Nothing against the guys, but...
Love me some amtrak
Do you really find a female engineer to be unusual?
not really Leland Rogers
O.K. ,,... I know a 21 year old blond who flies a Boeing 747 ! .... and not a SIM.
Fuck that blonde Robert Lafnear I could care less
i didnt see the name on the train
you frightened of p42s would have been better if you had gone forward to the locomotive
Ok
Needs a bit of tuition on how to pull-up a passenger train
?
Caryl, here. Bob's wife. Go home lady. The railroad is a man's world.
This is one hell of a noisy train. Extraordinary levels of noise pollution going on here. God help those poor people living nearby.
