Locomotive Engineer Mike Barnett L 580 D

[@Rosco230]

Hello Mike. Dalton, Ga native here. I wanted to get hired by CSX or NS and work through or near my hometown, but I couldn’t get on. However, BNSF hired me on and promoted me to engineer after some time. I enjoyed it, but it never felt quite right since I could not work near home. Thanks for the uploads! Though I can’t work the rails in this beautiful part of the country, it’s nice to see what it would be like. Thank you for the great footage! God bless!

Well done video Mike👏🏻🥂 I always used to love trains as a kid and I even got to drive one under supervision at the age of 10! But life threw me into a different direction and now I’m in the music industry!!

[@coloradomallcrawlers]

I’m a bit jealous. I wish I could film my subdivisions/routes, but instead, it’s just Jeep trails. Glad CSX isn’t as strict as my employer tho.

Mr. Barnett, what's the strangest thing you have seen in your travels on the CSX? Thanks for another great video!

[@DJhutcherson]

Hoosier Rail, I was a conductor for CSX between Nashville and Chattanooga for 8 years, and I would have to say the strangest thing I ever saw while going down the tracks was a man completely naked standing right beside the track "pleasuring" himself as we passed by...hard to get that image out of my head, lol. :)

Another question about the dynamic brake slowing down the rear locomotives first? Thanks for the answer! JOE

[@DJhutcherson]

I hired on with CSX as a conductor out of Nashville back in 2006, and on the first few trips I made out on the road after I marked up, I brought my video camera with me and made a few videos while going down the tracks and posted them to my KZbin channel. Very bad idea...not too long afterwards I got a call from the road foreman of engines and one of my trainmasters on that subdivision telling me that if I didn't immediately take down the videos I had posted, I would be looking at some pretty serious charges and possibly getting fired. I never did find out exactly what rules they say I violated, or how management found out about the videos in the first place, but I have a feeling one of my engineers reported me, not really sure why he would do that, but I learned my lesson not to bring my camera to work anymore, lol.

[@realonthecircuit]

Been slowly creeping away from the train scene, I made a mistake.

[@RonStanek]

Have the railroads done anything about loud horn noise for the crews? Besides ear plugs.

[@deannagentry3994]

Newer locos are more have better sound resistant cabs GE engines are usually quiet anyway but EMD have loud engines so they basically have to have sound resistant cabs

Hello Mike! We really love your videos! We have a question about the railway! When you start the train the locomotives 3,4,5 locomotive how would you start working on each other or at the same time thank you for your answer! JOE from Hungary!

[@kfjn0450]

Do you have to be a conductor before becoming an engineer, or are those two separate paths?

[@IronHide3910]

Yes. Conductor first then engineer.

[@alexwhitman9343]

And 3 dislikes are from BNSF 😂😂😂, sorry

[@captainx2319]

Do you ride with the same conductor or crew every trip?

[@xavierjackson3796]

I have a question mike on GE locos especially the evolution series when ever you press and release the horn there is a pshhhh sound do you know what that might be

[@thatoneguy611]

Probably the air that blows the horn

Hey Mike! Haven't seen you post in awhile, just wondering how your doing

[@chrisclark5178]

What subdivision do you work out of mike?

[@SOT03Y]

Mike - I am a train driver here in Australia, I watch your videos and notice that you use some heavy applications on the Independent brake whilst rolling along, It is frowned upon here where I work, as it deemed a high risk of skidding the locomotives wheels, if we were caught doing it by a senior driver trainer, we would get a "please explain". So I am curious, is it frowned upon with your company? I am just curious as to the different methods of driving from around the world. Thanks for posting your videos, they are great to watch

Is the horn on a train automated or was it under the control of the conductor?

It’s under the control of the engineer but on some locos it’s engineer and the conductor usually the Engineer tho
