Another winner Mike! I remember looking forward to seeing L580 every Saturday afternoon, since it was often a long load of freight cars and sometimes with 4 or more engines.

Dude, how many Hobo's you run into, ever run into Shoestring? LOL Some Engineers are pretty cool about it and others are, well........ Now that you are retired you should share some of the stories you have gotten over the years. Anyway, love watching as always and Happy new year to you and the family!

[@locomotiveengineermikebarn8042]

Thanks Geoff, I've come across quite a few Hobos don't remember any names or if they were repeaters. Happy Holidays 😊

Hey Mike cool video. what is that lever doing? the one on your right? and the other to your left? Thanks

[@locomotiveengineermikebarn8042]

Nothing really just played with it, but nothing at the time. they are all just some of many controls to the locomotive.

[@delawarecountyrailfan2204]

Just curious, did CSX let you record in the cab? Thanks

@@locomotiveengineermikebarn8042 yea that was fun I suppose you must have ran out of Waycross.

[@beaujac311]

Locomotive Engineer Mike Barnett:. At the 4:20 mark on this video it looks like a rail line used to merge into the track that you are on about where that signal is. Would I be right? On google maps it looks like the track may have gone under that highway. If anybody knows I would be delighted to hear if it is.

What do I have to do to drive a train mike ?

Apply and get accepted to a class 1 railroad.

You have to start out as a Brakeman than a Conductor

When you push the locomotive brake to the right for a few seconds what exactly does that do? It sounds like it releases air or something

[@thomasdupee1440]

Pushing the handle to the right releases air from the locomotive brake cylinders during an application of the automatic brake (train brake).

[@Danny.M.D]

Are this locomotive are csx or Norfolk Southern,union pacific

[@hj-mr5gg]

csx

[@MilwaukeeNorth418]

Sounds like you had the 70 off. Bet it was more enjoyable than having your ear drums rattled. Ran a job up here power move and kept the lead motor off. Ah man it was peaceful. haha

You got it.
