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.

Listen to the sound of that engine. The pistons are running up and down the bores like a great machanical lover. I remember my first time. Sweet, sweet memories. Many thanks to everyone for the gift of remembrance.

[@ChristianBitter]

i love that sound of emd gm engines :-)

[@ChipVorhies]

What a smooth-running motor I am a retired truck driver and I've always loved the sound of a diesel motor some of my favorites are the old two strokes

Nice

[@ceridyan2910]

nice video..good clip from the station

[@Mercmad]

The paint scheme is similar to the ones I worked on in New Zealand 40 years ago . Those were smaller locos though,12 and 8 cylinder versions built in the early 1950's.

This locomotive is " KENNEDY " type !

It does look like it should be heavily armoured.

Awesome!

It's the same locomotive,the RENFE ones were ex JŽ i have red correctly

U našoj državi su sve ovakve

[@w.rustylane5650]

That engine looks like a stretched out GP-7. What kinda GM is it? It looks kinda old probably with an A-a1-A configured trucks since it has 6 axles. Think ya might need some brake fluid in the reservoir?

[@ljones121]

Locomotive brakes are air activated not fluid activated.

[@w.rustylane5650]

@@ljones121 Oh yeah, I forgot about the air brakes.

[@jim1997330]

I think we have similar types in Taiwan call R60. Is it 2stroke Diesel engine?

Yes, 2 stroke engine v12

What was the problem with air lines

[@christianblankenship7683]

They don't know how train air systems work.... The Res has to bleed off after dumping it for it to allow the PCS to reset.

[@verastaki]

Not European, Russian locomotive. It says in Russian text on both sides. I'm from Russia and I remember these locomotives, besides other locomotives we have there. This one reminds me of American EMD SD40-2 High-Hood.
