[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Gluefinger</i> <br /><br />I think he means travel that doesn't pertain to driving the train... <br /> <br />Every crew member has a home terminal that they're based out of, and run most of the trains out of that home terminal. However, it is not too uncommon for a train to be stuck in a siding or on the main due to the lack of a fresh crew, or for a terminal to have trains waiting for crews as well. Therefore, crew members at the home terminals are driven by crew van (sometimes nicknamed the "limo"), or else deadhead in a trailing unit of another train to get to their destination. However, the crew will eventually make it back to their home terminal. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Also known as "dog catching".
