[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by baberuth73</i> <br /><br />NS Piedmont Division requires that engineer and conductor call the signals to each other and then the conductor calls it on the radio. If in double track territory, the track number has to be included when calling signals on the radio. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I ride the Carolinian on a regular basis from Charlotte NC to Rocky Mount NC. It operates with only an engineer in the loco, so he calls the signals on the radio on both the NS and CSX segments and the conductor, who is always riding the rear table in the lounge car with his paper work, calls the signals back. With the radio always on and the conductor repeating the signals, along with the defect detectors, etc., it can get a little loud in that area of the car. Being a fan (and Volunteer Train Host) it suits me fine.
