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.

weis er wirklich was er da tut? das ist ja nun nicht mal annähert die richtige reihenfolge des v-dienstes für eine br 193!! die menge der angezeigten störungen ist selbst verschuldet ...

Das habe ich nich gerade auch gefragt ... Normalerweise schaut man als erstes in den Maschinenraum ob alles eingeschaltet ist , bevor man überhaupt den Batteriehaupschalter betätigt ... also das Video ist leider nicht hilfreich.

Awesome video. Nice video quality and excellent approach to the details. What was the reason for the interface alert you got several times??(smetnja, smetnja u pozadini)

"Smetnja" according to Google translate means "interference" so one can only assume it is an audible warning for a problem/error that the driver must take care of immediately.

The only thing I don't like is the fact that is has no real side windows. It's kind of depressing. 😂

That's due to the TSI crash safety regulations for locomotives with top speed up to 200kph. The Traxx locomotives are much simpler constructions but are therefore limited to 140/160kph. The former Siemens 182/183 (Taurus) locomotives didnt have that issue. Even Vectron-predecessors like the SNCB-Reihe 18/19, the ER20CF etc. had side windows. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3a/Siemens_18_Pepinster.JPG So the international regulations are to blame for this circumstance.

Great video! Where in Serbia is best to see large numbers of freight trains? Including the new Vectrons? :) thanks.

@f-btsc9944 4 жыл бұрын

The best option to see Vectrons is around Belgrade I think , even they are rare because there a only 2 Vectrons in Serbiz Cargo fleet

@miroslavmilosevic1040 4 жыл бұрын

No, there are 16 Vectrons in the Serbia Cargo fleet. You can also see new locos from private and foreign freight ops there hauling container trains from China and many other stuff. Best location to see them right now is Resnik near Belgrade.
