[@cwc8979]

Quick How many years did you work and from what company?

[@prestonspencer9910]

Mr.Mike I want you take make a video about how to become a train driver

[@locomotiveengineermikebarn8042]

I'm sorry I'm no longer in the industry,I retired over 5 years ago

[@prestonspencer9910]

Locomotive Engineer Mike Barnett Ok thanks

[@robertdrayton3541]

A little late in the game but I’ve always wanted to be an operator, since living in NY wanted to be a motorman on the subway. How would I get started now, I’m almost 40?

[@manishgowda7761]

I have subscribed your channel sir

[@johnfreda5345]

What a joy to hear Kraftwerk right off the bat!

[@sujatha8085]

What is the eligibility of a Train conductor?

[@bobbyrockittt4263]

Sure be glad when the day comes when I see engine service.

[@abandonedcranium6592]

The part I LOVE THE MOST IS -----> THE MUSIC!!!! I have never heard this song until I saw this video, but I had to put it on my list of all-time favorites. (Yes! Daniel F.) I love how you (Mike) aligned certain video moments with specific parts of the song, ESPECIALLY at 1:07. Everyone has a different taste in music; I've had lots of people recommend music that I DID NOT LIKE at all. And, I've recommended my fav's, only to get a negative response. It's okay. ### Also...Mike....I see you used a monocular at 7:08, is that something that EVERY engineer is required to have? (...of course, due to the huge "safe braking distance") Again, GREAT VIDEO! P.S. I hope you're enjoying your retirement. : )

[@locomotiveengineermikebarn8042]

That monocular is what I called my good eye ...retirement is wonderful

[@HugDeeznueces]

What kind of scope is he using @ 7:33???????

[@locomotiveengineermikebarn8042]

Rob Fern monocular

[@HugDeeznueces]

Thanks! Forgot to ask you what model/brand? Need one. Thanks!!

[@locomotiveengineermikebarn8042]

Rob Fern don't remember some cheap brand from online

[@stephanegarde2956]

Très intéressant et ce Monsieur a quand même un très beau métier,merci pour cette très belle vidéo.😉😉

[@TrainsNStuff]

This is amazing! Although I would rather hear the train sounds...I don't really care. What is a good engine to run?

[@step2191]

Love the video, thanks for sharing!

[@Rajaee2]

The Song is a classic by Kraftwerk (Trans Europe Express)

[@spencerbass7142]

Very nice.

[@soulchaysa]

Very Nice Video

[@p.j.maguire7561]

Hey Mike great videos! Love the music from Kraftwerk. Very cool. Keep training friend =)

[@briancarothers]

Was that the CSX Western & Atlantic Subdivision engineer Barnett was traveling on?

[@locomotiveengineermikebarn8042]

Yep

[@stantaylor524]

Does the conductor have the qualifications to drive the train in case the engineer gets sick or becomes incapacitated?

[@locomotiveengineermikebarn8042]

No unless he is a qualified engineer working as a conductor.

[@locomotiveengineermikebarn8042]

Only if the conductor is a qualified engineer.

[@smyle78]

There is no any sound under the video?

[@locomotiveengineermikebarn8042]

It got muted for copyright infringement.

[@gordonclark7632]

Very professional engineer. Everything is a light touch. Can you tell me why there are two instruments panels which seem to repeat each other?

[@locomotiveengineermikebarn8042]

+Gordon Clark Sorry... Cant really say why

[@bigtime7724]

bouth have speed and air brakes gauges but one controls the E.O.T end of train device and the engine functions

[@locomotiveengineermikebarn8042]

+HERMAN GIBSON thanks you for your comment I try not to answer anything that involves descriptions of locomotive operations although I know the answer. We wouldn't want to give how to or why information to the world I don't know what the true reason for the want to know...sorry

[@gordonclark7632]

+Quick That is okay I can understand the reasoning. My reason for the question was purely interest as I was a locomotive fireman in the 1970s with the Victorian Railways in Victoria Australia. Our locomotives only have one set of instruments (or did when I was in the job) It has been forty years since I was in a diesel engine and am now retired from years in law enforcement. The locomotives that I was on had the drivers controls on the left for long end first running which meant that the fireman had to keep his eyes open for signals around the right hand bend as the driver could't see them especially in an X class which was the longest (in that time) until he had turned the bend.

[@bbundy1069]

+Gordon Clark There are two screens in case one fails. Each screen is identical and both have all the same functions available, the EOT can be programmed in from either one, distance counter, the cut in/out for lead or trail, etc... If you take notice in some of the scenes, there is a blanked "wall" to the left of the engineer above the radio. That is where the PTC (Positive Train Control) screen will be installed when it comes on line. Some of those will have a screen on both sides so the CO has one as well, depending on locomotive model.

[@shemarperkins7167]

the song alright

[@SergeyMoiseyev77]

Interesting video. What is the weight of the train?

[@MrWhite-pn7ui]

Does the flashing headlights become irritating after a while?

[@gigivalencia6961]

Cool song

[@altair458]

Very good video, thanks

[@locomotiveengineermikebarn8042]

Mike Cade thanks Mike

[@dustincampbell9677]

Do they BNSF locomotives have Air conditioning in the cabs?

[@locomotiveengineermikebarn8042]

dustin campbell yes the ones I was in did

[@dustincampbell9677]

Nice...also I would like to be a BNSF locomotive engineer after I graduate HS. I know things were way different from when you were a kid but I was thinking I could attend a railroad school such as the Modoc railroad Academy after HS to become a bnsf engineer...do you believe that would work out good or do you have any other suggestions I should consider?-Thanks

[@TheKillzone69]

how often are you home

[@chessiekid4018]

I bet if his supervisors finds out about these ole Mike Barnett won’t be working for CSX anymore. He should read company policy about it.

[@cameravideo1230]

No sound?

[@s_cutt]

How do I become a train engineer

[@locomotiveengineermikebarn8042]

Apply online to be interviewed by a railroad company they will guide you from there

[@drdwgmd14]

Love this. Could I do a ride along through Georgia? I am a physician researching trains. How could we get in touch? I am in atlanta

[@locomotiveengineermikebarn8042]

Sorry no ride with me I'm retired

[@drdwgmd14]

Looks so neat, great vido, it is like the american dream. So you have anyone i could contact

[@prestonspencer9910]

what does it take to drive trains?

[@locomotiveengineermikebarn8042]

It takes training from a classroom setting and OJT from a qualified locomotive engineer spread out over approximately 9 months

[@sharkheadism]

Nice music choice. Any real railroader has that watch, haha

[@pamalford8319]

Mike---Did you ever experience any catastrophic engine failures? Several years ago, an engine blew on a train in Coweta County in Newnan, GA. The local newspaper had a very spectacular front-page photo of fire shooting out of the exhaust at least 50-100 feet into the air. Firefighters had to keep pouring foam into it before the engine finally seized. Just wondering. PS---Thanks for the videos!

[@locomotiveengineermikebarn8042]

Pam Alford several in the 80's in Ohio

[@pamalford8319]

Really? That is interesting. Was it one type of engine that kept giving you problems or several?

[@pamalford8319]

I'm sure it was.I have learned a lot about runaway diesel engines in the process of trying to find an archived news article about this engine fire. It is amazing what could happen---even to a healthy engine.

[@pamalford8319]

I have read anything from blown turbochargers to overfilling of oil to intake of volatile gases. There is a video somewhere on KZbin where a brand-new 2015 GMC Duramax blew up from an engine runaway. Fortunately it was under warranty.

[@OGKEEF]

Always loved trains as a kid, now after watching a few of mike videos I now wanna make this my next job/ career💯👍🏾 thanks mike. Anybody knows where I can Pursue any information in the Miami fl area please hit me up.

[@BxCortez2050]

Trans Europe Express !!! Datts whaaaaasup !!

[@RuggedBrotha]

The music aint for the video . But IIt reminds me of bein a kid. Its a choo chhooo version of Egyption lover. (19820

[@troydumas8084]

Great video what entry level position would you recommend to become a Locomotive Engineer ?

[@locomotiveengineermikebarn8042]

Conductor

[@derekrohan9619]

Why is there no sound.. this is like the second video of yours I have tried to watch that has no sound. Everyone is talking about the music?? I got no sound or music

[@locomotiveengineermikebarn8042]

KZbin muted it I'll see if I can fix it.

[@eastcoshawty6779]

since i was a kid ive always had a dream to be a locomotive engineer. what schools or how do i go about being one???? please help me

[@austinrutledge5234]

he went to coweta county?

[@apexaviation3671]

Bummer no sounds. But I tell you what, still a pretty sweet video.

[@covid19culiacan59]

nice video

[@char2c584]

Im experienced with this locomotive. In Train Simulator just relized this is 3 years old

[@prestonspencer9910]

I like trains I want to be like you when you grow up

[@locomotiveengineermikebarn8042]

Thanks I wish you the best.

[@rubio90r]

how hard is it to get into the railroad as a locomotive engineer or conductor

[@MrLordwrecker]

Very

[@rubio90r]

weejams thankyou very much that makes me feel alot better. i had gone a bnsf seminar and passed the interview and drug test and got a offer as a welder becasue i do that for a living already, but could not takr the offer as there is alot of traveling involved with that job. but everything is setteled down and i am ready to go work for a railroad company and would like to drive the actual locomotive.

[@TheGeneral970]

I want that job!

[@gabrielanunez5536]

csx 7922 I want to ride this train 😃😃

[@johnwaldron8118]

What song is this?

[@locomotiveengineermikebarn8042]

John Waldron( Streetwave )Brothers Johnson

[@klingklangwerk3319]

John Waldron trans Europe express by kraftwerk. Made in 1976

[@randallbyrd1973]

Do I understand that u retired.

[@bettyboop65340]

how far do you operate this train before your shift ends?

[@locomotiveengineermikebarn8042]

+bettyboop65340 Atlanta to Chattanooga or 12 hours whichever comes first.

[@kevloo6078]

It,s all good.

[@fabeiontatum205]

Every time you got to blow that train horn

[@adam2326bryan]

seems as though down south you blast your horn a lot in residential communities.. I'm from Canada. trains don't use horns inside of those areas. at least anywhere I've ever been. What's the inside scoop on that kind of rule and regulations. :)

[@darrelll1207]

CROSSINGS

[@adam2326bryan]

darrell l I know it's for crossings. but it's not like that here.

[@JakobHill]

Adam Bryan Are you from Ontario? I know some places here in Winnipeg have quiet zones, but in most of the city, trains honk away.

[@adam2326bryan]

Jakob Hill nah man. ive lived all over though. currently in edmonton AB. cant here a train horn for miles.... both CN and CP obv go right through. my . only guess is because it has to do with controlled crossings and train speed. ive heard the ol toot toot in small towns and small citys. but nothing through a major city.

[@jacksonabernathy1683]

Adam Bryan the rule is trains have to blow their horns at any crossing, unless it is in a quiet zone, which has been federally approved, and has certain equipment in place

[@rafialrasyid8663]

Good train csx and masinis and conductor

[@derekrohan9619]

Sucks because they look like cool videos but I can’t watch it without the sound

[@locomotiveengineermikebarn8042]

I'm working to replace some of the sound
