For that matter, a conductor doesn't need much skill either. And you don't even have to drive straight since the track will keep you going. You h ave to be pretty stupid to be a bad engineer. <br /> <br />dav <br />[/quote]wow..what planet did you come from.......non skilled work? wow..this **** is realy deep... come sit in my cab for a while......and see if you got the balls to put your money where your mouth is... see if you can hack it as a ground pounder...or better yet..as an engineer....by bet is on you will run a red one..or even befor you get out of the yard..have the train tore in 2 ......thats if you even got it built in the first place.... i dont know where you get the idea that all you do is get on and go...thier is a hell of alot of work that goes into rail roading long befor a train even hits the road and starts running...like someone said...you have to build it... make sure its built right... and then running it is a big can of worms in itself...you have to be thinking 5 miles ahead..and how ever long your train is behind you...you have to plan for slow orders.... how your going to slow your train down for all speed changes....not to mention for signal indications..... screw 1 of them up...your fired...or worse..dead.... <br />boy...rail roading in the real world IS NOT THE SAME AS SOME STUPID MSTS... befor you open your mouth with stupid comments... try doing it for real once.... and you will find out its not in any ways easy......we make it look easy....becouse....WE ARE SKILLED AND TRAINED TO MAKE IT LOOK EASY!!!!!! <br />csx engineer <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I'd add to that, but nothing needs to be added. <br /> <br />CSX man, it's save to say, you've really sealed this Ziplock bag. <br /> <br />Debate over, you win... <br /> <br />Oh wait I would like to add this- <br /> <br />You see what Train simulator is doing to them? all you have to do is sit at your computer, pretend your running a train! it's REALLY easy then, I would imagine... <br /> <br />but stupid... <br /> <br />Train simulator is like...uhh....
