Freight Trains Are Having a Moment!

Do the train crews have to speak and communicate in English? 😂😂😂

I got some $5 translation earbuds from China that let me speak any language. So there is that.

Did they ever settle the safety regs. To cut down on the derailment numbers, I specifically remember the East Palestine, Ohio, toxic chemicals spill, that our gov. ignored.

Barcodes are officially 40 years old; however, railroads have been using them for years before the official barcode terminology. Each freight car has a barcode on its side, which is scanned by trackside scanners placed at strategic points on a rail system. The scanner shows the location of the car; the railroad it belongs to; the contents and destination.In the 1960's, railroads charged each other $3.00/day to use it's tracks. side note: Chevron and Mobil oil companies are part of Aramco: Arab America Oil Companies, owned by Saudi Arabia, which also owns BNSF: Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad.I was a SPRINT lineman in the late 1960's a.k.a. Southern Pacific Railroad Intrastate Railroad, headquartered out of San Francisco. When I was hired at the West Oakland facility, the HR guy said "Why do you want to work for the railroad?" I said "I have always loved trains, and my hobby is model railroading." He said "You're hired."

yea, all the truck drivers are getting deported

Pre-tariff rush. It will slow down for sure & layoffs will begin.

We have way way to many truck drivers and parking and burning to much fuels! Trains 🚂 are the way, truckers pick up at Rails and Ports!

if I go to a different country, those people will expect me to be able to talk in that country's language. so is it wrong for the same to be expected here. when a driver comes in and can't even speak English enough to buy a pack of cigarettes. and is entrusted with over 40 ton of equipment.

They are close to building all electric locomotives That’ll be the game changer
