| Posted: 18 Oct 2015 09:23 PM PDT That's really a location-specific question. I'll provide one example: SEPTA (South Eastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority) has two divisions: City Division, which runs subways, trolleys, and buses, and operates in the urban area of Philadelphia. The stations tend to look like subway stations, or bus stops (aboveground trolley stations). Suburban Division, (a.k.a. "Regional Rail") which runs standard-sized passenger rail service from the suburbs into the city. The Regional Rail service uses lines and stations originally built by The Pennsylvania Railroad, and The Reading Railroad. (Many of these old stations are quite pretty.) |

| Question: What happens if the Engineer needs to use the restroom? Posted: 18 Oct 2015 05:13 PM PDT In North America there's two people in the cab of freight trains and soon to be two, if not already, in Amtrak trains due to a new federal mandate. So when my engineer needs to use the bathroom I will take over running the train. Mostly all I need to do is hit the alerter/deadman's switch and maybe blow a crossing. A good engineer will time their bathroom breaks when the train is going up a grade/hill or is in flat territory. An engineer should never trust a conductor when the train is going down a grade. That why the conductor doesn't need to do much in regrades to operations. Sometimes nature demands a number two and the engineer will slow the train down and go to the second engine/locomotive and the conductor will take over. Most conductors know basic and I mean basic train handling. I myself am RCO and Hostler qualified but I know I wouldn't be able to handle a fully loaded coal train in grade territory. There was one time where I pratically ran the entire run, empty unit train on zero grade territory. My engineer had mono but used up all his lay off days. It was quite the interesting trip. Very nerve racking. As far as what they do across the pond I'll leave that to Chiel. |
