Does anyone know why they stopped running Amtrak on the Clearwater sub?
@mikewarren7436Ай бұрын
$$$ It took them 90 minutes to go from Tampa to St . Pete, and it required a crew change in Tampa, so you paid a crew for 3 hours (over and back) of running and they get paid a full day.

I also had no idea that Amtrak ran this line, I used to live right next to the tracks as a kid over 20 years ago. I’m just now doing RR research and it’s crazy to know that f40s were passing so close to my street that many years ago

I'm sure it's a bit of a rush when running at speed through several crossings with traffic all stopped and everyone is looking at you, some smiling, some pointing with a finger :).

When the train horn vibes along with the car radio and you hate railroad crossings: oh snap there’s a train in my way When you enjoy seeing a train at a railroad crossing and want to remember the experience: i don’t need some fancy music that’s gonna interfere with my experience with trains, i wanna hear the loud delightful horn echoing in the daytime (that’s probably me)

It's kinda funny, I've been crazy into trains since I was a kid... but it's like there's a switch inside me that flicks between "railfan" and "non-railfan." So if I'm in a hurry somewhere and get stopped, it switches pretty hard to "non-railfan." But that's probably the only time it ever does

I am a railway conductor. Everytime I see/hear a train when I'm off duty, I listen for the correct train horn sequence that's used when going over a crossing. For those who don't know, it's LONG,LONG,SHORT,LONG (Over the crossing). This train did it correctly.

@@ENCHANTMEN_ A lot do push it randomly. However, the correct was is that LLSL. If an engineer blows it randomly on their check ride, they'll most definitely get docked. However, that doesn't stop them from doing it at literally any other point

In the uk we call it A "Push-Pull" so when the engine gets to the end of the line the driver will go to the brake coach which will have special controlls to move the engines backwards "Busy Going Backwards" You can say.
