When you think about ALL the Logistics and Delays involved for a Crew, you can Better Understand why there are Crew Shortages and PSR made it Worse.🤪👎

As a retired Class I railroader I found this to be more than a little bit of a disappointment. From the title I was sort of expecting a deep-ish dive into how railroads structure crew districts, set up long and short pools, determine seniority districts, mileage pay rates, things like that. I think that would be interesting to some of your viewers. I know those are things that I really didn't know the details about until I went to work for a Class I freight railroad. I wanted to see your take on it. BTW, Train 32N (known as 32 "Nasty" by crews) was the train involved in the East Palestine, Ohio disaster last year, only it was a massive train that night. Really, 8,000 ft. had gotten to be a rather average-size train by that point. Some of these trains are running up to 18,000 feet long with DPUs, and coming close to 20,000 tons in weight. I have to laugh when I hear a British video talk about a long, heavy train being 1,800 tons and nearly 2,000 feet long. That's a switching move here.

Let's just say that I could drive a car much much further in one shift.

I work for csx in Manchester ga took a train to Jacksonville that’s 290 rail miles

I actually do know where the crews take trains. I work for RailCrew Express and it's my job to pick up crews either at our home yard in Bostic NC or any number of other crossings or yards. The best job and best crews.

Train crews can only run 11 1/2 hours before tie down.most crews run between 150-300 miles depending on traffic, form b and other restrictions or if they have cars to pickup or set out on route

The "ole'-timey" intro brings a smile to my face every time😊

Like seeing those old auto parts box cars and blue trash containers,the GE AC44C6M was rolling coal, blasting out diesel exhaust!🛤🚂

Enjoyed Seeing ALL the Colorful Box Cars. 👍🙏

Interesting/informative/entertaining. Noticed graffiti art work on box cars. Perhaps the artist's are viewing their creations on this presentation-???🤔. Viewing this presentation from the safe & comfort zone. Along the " Space Coast " 🚀 of Florida🐊 🐊. Wishing viewers/R.R. employees/graffiti artist. A safe/healthy/prosperous ( 2024 )🌈🎉😉.

Man that was so informative. Thank you for sharing that information with us. Another great video 👍🏻🎥💯

Great footage! That first train looked so majestic.

This is so great

Great video my friend, always eager to learn more about trains.

Have you ever wondered how far a crew takes a train

nice video bro❤❤😍😍

Good evening Spike, another good video my friend.

The Grand Trunk lives!!!!! When I was in Germany in 1984. I read my Grandfather's train log. He went from Kornwesthiem Germany at the time it was West Germany. To Frankfurt then on to Hamburg for a 36-hour layover then. Travel back to Kornwesthiem. Then off. Then take the newly built Porsches or Mercedes from the classification yard to Munich or Bonn. I hope you get to go to Germany. And Kornwesthiem is 4 stops away from Stuggart. Great video and I noticed that Norfolk-Southern's signals are Die Bahn influenced.
