I don't care how modern or post-modern a locomotive gets, the air bell and "whoosh" when it is shut off, along with the air exhaust on the automatic and independent brakes are as timeless as a GP7!

I am so proud of you Mike. I've watched you switched tracks and it's amazing to me.

The only problem with this video is that it isn’t longer. I love your videos!

I have absolutely NOT A CLUE what is going on with the leavers but it's obviously important and done with an effortless smoothness that is a joy to watch. 👍Good stuff!

Awesome video, I love that horn!

Handling that mass of steel like it’s nothing. What a cool cat.

The great part about driving a train is you don't have to steer; the terrible part is if you don't see a problem far enough ahead there's nothing you can do except watch yourself slide into it and blam. If it's something big enough you gotta try to get out. It must be a nerve-wracking business driving these things. Go Engineers!

Huge respect sir, I can watch this for hours and hours, EMD locomotive sounds epic here

I love watching videos like this. I'm amazed how many controls Mr Barnett has to interact with even during what appears to be very mundane slow progress down a track.

This dude is a legend

Mr Barnett, thanks for taking us for the cab ride, enjoy as always. Hit the mark hit the goal, exceed my expectation, on the BA 451 months age 60 Happy New Year sir, thank you for your service

Mike Barnett.... A man so smooth he makes a locomotive look like a 75 coupe DeVille..... Yeah that's right.... I see the little lean to the right LOL...😉.... Sunroof top... Diamond in the back digging the scene with my gangster lean

Thanks for the videos Mr. Barnett the Engineer!

Great video Mike! I enjoy your videos

Just AWESOME! Some much to take in. Stay safe! Can't wait for the next trip!

About to go through train dispatcher training. Want to get a good idea of what you guys go through on your side of things so I can have a better understanding and help me perform on my end. Love the videos 🚂

Love your videos makes me feel like I'm riding with you

Thank you, Mike Barnett! Very cool for us VRFs!

Love to see cab views as I’ve never had the honour to be in one. Thank you for sharing!

Love your videos man, keep up the good work!

Videos like this make me appreciate trains even more. I wonder if CSX will let ride alongs happen after covid. I would love to experience riding in the cab of a train.

I love these videos. Thank you for posting them.

Thanks for doing these videos, its so cool to see the cab of a locomotive.

Wow that’s some cool stuff. I’m 12 years old and when I grow up I want to work for the railroad. I love trains

Mike i love it when you do these videos it is totally wonderful god bless you Mike.

Great video just too short. I really enjoyed it Mike. Thanks 👍👍👍❤️

Great job big mike keep up the good work.

Go on with your bad self Mike! You make it look so easy, as a professional would.

Hello again from central Maine. 🇺🇸

Loved watching. I have operated a old steam locomotive, but not a modern train.

MIKE I LIKE YOUR TRAIN HORN

Man crazy when those macs and 70ms where the things roaming around the rails and that thundercab. Just crazy how times change.

Awesome footage man it's always been my dream to become a csx conductor or engineer

Love your videos man, respect from Canada 🇨🇦

Awesome Video Mike.

I love you videos! Really making me to consider a career change.

Awesome, thank you for the wonderful videos:):):)

Man, this guy is so cool.

Awesome Mr. Barnett

Nice video

Do you sometimes just sit back and take in the fact that you're the one in control of that giant beast, wow man

This is some good shit. Cheers from Canada eh

Awesome thanks for sharing this video!

Nice video Mike! Please upload more!

I so wish I could have been an locomotive engineer! I hear it's like firefighters....it just runs in the family. I always wondered how one could break into the industry but it's too late now as I approach 50 and well established in a career that I intend to retire from with a pension. I still love everything about trains though.

Awesome video

Nice love watching mike

Great video!

Love your videos, I railfan on the New Castle Sub , always look forward to your new videos

Thanks, always wanted a cab ride.

Thanks very much for a nice vidéo

I love ur trains

this guys a legend my dads a conductor for Amtrak the California Zephyr he could be an engineer just doesn’t want to he used to be an engineer for bnsf and Utah railway and maybe other railroads I want to be a engineer when I get older

Leavin off from where you parked at the end of the last video...cool

Cool videos as always

Awesome Video! This windshield seems better than the ones on GE with that extra cut on your right....You know what I mean!

That's an awesome Video right there!, keep it up👍😎

Hey happy new year!! I hope this covid virus goes away. Enjoy your retirement u deserve it. Keep up the awesome videos.

Good job ...Sir👍👍👍🚂🚂🚂

Good Lord a diesel locomotive is the absolute best

I just found your channel. Thank you for the videos. I wish management would understand that this type or video is both educational and good publicity. I think it should be encouraged for all U.S. railroads. Why yes, I am a railfan. How did you know? (ETA wise = wish)

Nice video!

Mr. Mike makes it look so easy but, Railroading is not all ice cream and cake especially if you are working any rail yard as a Switchman or on the line of road as Mr Mike shows us. Remember, there are RULES to learn Train signals, sign post, hand signals the list is long and you will be tested before you even get to be hired. And If ever I become hire by any railroad, I hope that there is an instructor like Mr Mike to train me a nugget of his knowledge to see me home safely until I retire.

Such a cool 😎 guy

Love From India ( South asia

Love this

man, I would love to do that when I grow up.

Those were some great car counts lol.

Like the sound of that EMD.

I want to do this when I’m older. I want to drive locals because then I would stay in the same area, and not be too far from home. How long are you usually gone when on a train like this?

The engineers don't wave from the trains, not like they did back in 1954!

Nice that you can multitask while you drive

You got a great channel Me personally i LOVE CSX 😊

Did you see any fish in that creek you were looking down at? Lol

Awesome

Hey mike you have any shots going through acworth and the hickory grove crossing?

All these idiots out there with crappy railfan channels... YOU sir are the real deal. Long live this channel.

Hey love the videos love CSX want to work for them one day but what state do you work in

I’ve noticed here on the Philly sub they are running less trains but the ones they are running have been monsters... 14,000 footers ...

BOSS.

Now what kind of train was this where the controls are opposite of where they are in other videos Mr Barnett? And I have another question. Where would I get one of those reflective safety vests like you wear to hang in my railroad room I'm creating?

Where are all the fishing holes on this route

Ooooo! Nice! SD70MAC!

I have a question I would like to become an Engineer in 14 btw but is it loud in an Engine? From the horn?

What time is it what time do you usually go to you on break and what time can you go to lunch

Nice Catch Mr Barnett, Have you ever had a recording Through Gloster Ga at MP549? Cuz I would love to see a shot of you going past my Favorite spot. Thanks👍

Cool engine Union Pacific sd70m mike

YEAH YEAH

0:42 Nice K5HL Horn.

Do you prefer the desktop control stand, or the standard AAR one?

MIKE THE TRAIN MAN WHY ARE YOU NOT IN CSX ITS YOUR JOB TO MAKE MONEY

Hey Mike how are things post headhunter? We have it going on over at NS - just minus the Hunter

He likes his horn

i might do this when i grow up

what did you say in the start of the viddo? i couldn't hear you because of the break lol

How long did you work for a train
