Daylight Running Surprise !

[@leadslinger49]

Retired 19 years ago. I always liked the "Comfort Cabs" over the noisy SD38's. Also slept in a lot of hot cabooses before we got rooms. Back in the old days.

Those were some close calls. Hose always almost make you dirty r britches. lol. I had a few of those over the years when I was running. I enjoyed the video Mike. Thanks 👍👍👍❤️

I know why people are running across tracks, to find their brain

[@desertfoxx1823]

If they slip in front of the engine they will scooping their brain up with a shovel

[@RedWingsninetyone]

I always hated going through all those little towns with 25 crossings that went nowhere. And with an impatient female driver that couldn’t wait on the train. Lol!

Really cool seeing your view going through Acworth and Kennesaw!

Tie em' down, he's pulled the pin for the last time! Congrats on the retirement.

[@ironlung7176]

I know I would enjoy running frieght trains. Just like Mike here. He looks like hes having fun.

[@SD45-ET44AC]

I just spent more than 60 minutes watching your videos and wanted to say thanks. I realize buying one of your videos might say thanks in a better way but for now, thanks! Your videos focus on the trains, the railroads and lots of information but unlike some videos your videos aren't just about you with train footage in the rear. Peace!

[@westep4273]

It's my dream job to be Abel t drive trains this guy looks like he's having fun

[@nssd70m2]

Congratulations on your retirement sir, I have a long way to go myself... I enjoy your videos, and the music you choose for them. Great stuff.

[@robertmcdonnold3038]

Thanks for the ridealong. You make the job look fun.

[@stevearnold2304]

Yup! My opinion as well. You be safe out there. Make us all proud.

[@CrazyMarioRailfan]

Im soon gonna be an engineer and I hope to see you on board!

[@hi-railhardin]

Another awesome video Mike! I noticed that clip of you guys waiting in Emerson. I bet you've eaten from Doug's Place a lot !!!

[@locomotiveengineermikebarn8042]

Oh yes! many times

[@iangilldjsuperdude]

I am a huge railroad train fanatic! I mean, really, an engineer named Mike is so freaking awesome at what he does on the tracks! Best personality, awesome bells and horns, looking out for another object or fools playing on or around the track site. I liked the way he just continued to blow the train horn at those trespassing the rails for no reason! However, I do like the music that was playing. I could not tell what the name of the song was playing on your mission. However, it was just a little too loud. I apologize for the unexpected inconvenience. But, all I wanna do is give a shout out to Mike and his crew of CSX and all shout outs go to CSX Transportation! [CSXT] is my favorite railroad industry in the history of the United States! Oh, yeah and I almost forgot. Here is the game plan for crossing a railroad crossing safely: 1. Stop. You must come to a full stop. pedestrians must come to a full stop behind the railroad crossing signal. 2. Look. Look both ways 2 times when crossing the tracks. Almost like looking both ways when crossing the street. 3. Listen. Listen for a train horn or a train bell. Use your ears and your eyes as a listening method when crossing the railroad tracks. 4. Live. Proceed safely across the tracks and go on about the rest of your day.

[@keithcordes4430]

Man you got the life, saw your opening pic, I’m a firefighter in New York City and I must say I have a job that young kids dream of but so do you, you got the only gig I’d consider leaving mine for!

[@goober239]

I work for a switch crew in west central ohio. Our parent company is Genesee and Wyoming. I didn't know cameras were allowed. We switch between NS and CSX and it is a pain in the ass to get CSX to cooperate with us. They either deliver the cars on the wrong tracks, or fail to leave any switching space for us. Rarely they do anything we ask them!

[@shawnpowell5876]

Thanks again for another awesome assistant engineer ride along video. Have a question Mr. Barnett. Where could I find a CSX reflective safety vest to add to my railroad room I'm creating in our new home?

[@isaiahj1330]

I live in Acworth and love this video brother it is awesome. I must confess I have walked the tracks to Emerson across the lake. People think is it dangerous but it is not. Trains do not sneak up on anyone. I get out of the way well ahead of time. Never would I try to run across in front of a train like the kids did. That is stupid.

[@CMDRFandragon]

Damn, its like those kids in the opening scene wanted to die.

[@briansmyla8696]

How did he stand up and leave the operator's position at 2:08 without an automatic brake application?
