Funny how the slightest honking on the horn will trigger the air compressor to top off the pressure.

How were you able to do a cab ride I would like to do that
@PiedmontCentralRailroad5 ай бұрын
@PeytonC09 It is first come, first serve at NCTM for every train ride they do. I've been going there for years and had no idea! I think it was an additional $25-$50 or so for the cab ride (for the two of us). They usually have 2-3 rides per day, so if you miss out on one, you can reserve another. Reservations are only for that day, and you must be present to reserve it. I hope you get the chance! It really was a special day.

Can you tell me what minute on the video that happened? I do not recall at any point when we were actually moving that he left his seat. There was a point where we switched back to forward from reverse...it may have been then, but we were at a full stop.

@PiedmontCentralRailroad7 ай бұрын
You are right! I wish I knew the specifics, but I think there is something back there he needs to do when changing direction. As you are a real engineer, I'm sure you know more than I do about these things. I do know there is a crew member in the caboose with a radio when moving backwards so not completely blind to pending issues on track. I do remember now wanting to ask what he did back there but needed to respect the instructions not to talk to him while operating

At minute 19 he didn't have to go to back when going from forward to backward so that throws off my whole theory.😄

@@PiedmontCentralRailroad I'm no certified enginenmen. But yeah, it's sort of a head scratcher on why he got up from his seat. If there was an emergency, a few seconds like that could be catastrophic. That's the first time I've ever seen an engineer get up from his seat to go back to the engine compartment while the locomotive was in motion. I was just very surprised to see that. 😮
