43 is always so nice! I wish they ran it more often. Also 4:39 what is that lever that he pulled back in front of the door

Why at 2:47 did engineer Cordell have to move the Johnson bar backwards then forwards again to get #504 moving?

The term is called “dead center” it’s when all the bearings and slack are essentially in the center position creating no slack. So they reverse the train to create that slack to help the train move.

How do you tell the other engineers to switch places with you? Is it via the walky-talky?
@SirDufferson Жыл бұрын
Via radio “Walkie-Talkie”. 99% of the time the engineer on the train will call the other engineer on schedule when we leave the show to switch out. However you never know when another engineer will need to switch out for whatever reason. We tend to switch every 2 hours.

@@SirDufferson Okay, I thought it was the Walkie-talkie, but I wasn't sure. Thanks!
