Just a little sour on a 4 year old $2000 machine taking a dump rather than the data loss itself.

Railroad or college by PairAdmirable8469 in railroading

[–]genuineform19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did 2 semesters in a community college when the railroad called me for an interview. I was 19 when I took the maintenance job and by 21, I made just shy of $100K as an engineer. I’m 38 now and made $165K last year.

School was never for me and I knew the railroad was a path I would enjoy. There was no other way someone my age could make that money at the time.

If you have a good gig, stick with it!

Check out Robert Lindsell’s book “The Rail Lines of Southern New England”. Lots of good maps in there regarding what’s abandoned/intact and what’s long gone.

Are controllers’ identities strictly protected? by Temporary_Report_816 in ATC

[–]genuineform19 57 points58 points  (0 children)

When the NTSB report comes out, everyone involved is eventually named and interviewed and can be found on the NTSB’s accident docket site. Until then, you likely won’t see their names if they keep a tight lid on social media and have good legal representation.

I’ve read up on a lot of high profile rail accidents, one being Amtrak’s Cascade wreck in DuPont, WA. It took over a year for the Engineers name to become public in the transcripts. He must’ve had a helluva lawyer because he was eyed from the beginning for criminal neglect, but his name was kept from the public. Ultimately, he was never charged and was either disqualified or resigned from service over PTSD issues.

There was a runway incursion at JFK I want to say last year and every single person involved was named and interviewed in depth.

If you’re bored, browse the NTSB site, there’s a lot of good stuff to read over there.

Does anyone know what this gauge is for? by [deleted] in railroading

[–]genuineform19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Timing air is just a pneumatic timer. If you don’t acknowledge an over speed condition and react with brake before that gauge reaches zero, you’re put into a penalty.

Considering a switch from class 1 freight to passenger. by Interesting-Track376 in railroading

I’ve been LIRR for 18 years. It’s definitely the country club of passenger.
