Why it is worse to be a young rail fan

Dave and friends riding the South Shore. <br />I wouldn't bother with riding the head end. The South Shore is about the last railroad running with train orders and the conductor and engineer are pretty busy up on the head end. On a normal trip there are also several employee in charge lines to call plus speed restrictions, and the Shore is quite strict on safety. The conductor's office is also on the head end where he or she may stand, call signals, and do their cash fare figuring. You can stand behind the bulkhead door but try not to get in the way. The Shore is still very much an interurban, but it's changing every day into a contemporary road, and it's worth a visit. <br />Stay tuned for my further comments on this very interesting thread tomorrow. <br /> <br />Mitch (former South Shore engineer)
