For the professional engineer who designs railway systems, see Railway engineering.
An engineer (American and Canadian), train operator, hostler or engine driver (British and Commonwealth English) is a person who operates a train. The engineer is in charge of and responsible for driving the engine, as well as the mechanical operation of the train, train speed, and all train handling. The use of the term engineer to describe this occupation in North America should not be confused with the usual meaning of engineer, as in someone who engages in design.
For many American railroads, the following career progression is typical: assistant conductor (brakeman), conductor and finally engineer. In the US, engineers are required to be certified and re-certified every two to three years. [1]
In India, a driver starts as a diesel assistant or electrical assistant (in case of electric locomotives). They then get promoted on a scale: goods, passenger, Mail / Express and Rajdhani / Shatabdi / Duronto. [2]
In the New Zealand, United States and Canada, train drivers are known as "locomotive engineers". In the United Kingdom, South Africa, and Australia they are known as "train drivers", "engine drivers", "locomotive drivers", or "locomotive operators".
An engineer is responsible for preparing equipment for service, checking paperwork and the condition of the locomotives. Their duties require that they control acceleration, braking and handling of the train underway. They must know the physical characteristics of the railroad, including passenger stations, the incline and decline of the right-of-way and speed limits. Along with the conductor, the engineer monitors time to not fall behind schedule, nor leave stations early. The train's speed must be reduced when following other trains, approaching route diversions, or regulating time over road to avoid arriving too early. The engineer assumes the duties of the conductor if the conductor is incapacitated.
The locomotive engineer is required to have an intimate knowledge of track geometry including signal placement so as to be able to safely control the train.
Maintaining concentration is of critical importance in this role.

Train stops. Whats wrong? Windows update.. 🤦‍♂️

You can see him get visibly frustrated

excellent video thanks so much, brother 💞💚💞💚💞💚💞 great day... God bless you

[@Zugspitzensignal]

Isn't it common in your county to test the locomotive you will use? No Break test, no safety-System tests!? You just enabled them and used them untested. I am a bit shocked. Btw .. the Siemens Vectron really don't likes it to abort the self test and not doing the safety and break tests.

[@DarkVoidIII]

17:30 Why when you hooked up the two air lines why were the couplings not also connected together? It could have been extremely dangerous if either locomotive had started moving for any reason without being physically tethered to the other locomotive.

[@thomasnovacek4686]

DarkVoidIII: Well, obviously the locomotive driver does not want to couple the locomotives together, but with the help of the 2nd locomotive to fill up the apparatus air. This is also indicated by the fact that he has not coupled the main air line for the brake. This is according to the European standards those with the red coupling head and shut-off valve. Since the locomotives are not moved in this way, it is not necessary to couple them.
