Working up in one of the Chicago yards there is so much radio chatter that sometimes I get walked on while doubling my train together. Most engineers follow the rules in this situation, but some have suprised me. If an engineer does not hear from me within half the shoving distance he must stop and wait for me to talk to him. I must continue to let him/her know that my eyes are on the move. In the Chicago yards I tend to get walked on a lot by other crews, so my engineers don't know I'm talking to them. I usually try to stay several tracks away from my tie because sometimes engineers will just keep going even though I'm telling them THAT'LL DO!!!!!!!!!! But, they can't hear me! Most engineers who don't hear from me just stop and wait for the chatter to subside, then the call me and ask if I'm ready to start up again; that's definitely the way i prefer and now I brief the engineer to PLEASE stop if they don't hear from me!!!
