I would like to address 2 things Todd C: you are correct. a freight train horn produces a sharp noice in the upper 1000-3000 decibles. that's enoguh to wake the dead.. if the cyclist wouyld have looked.. up or "Look, listened he would hav lived" he couldn't have missed the train unless.. wow... he's just dumb. next Melissa, Not only odes my mother contiuously tell me women are right, my Girlfriend rubs it in my facew AT least twice a day.. in your adress to me, you stated some excellent points. i'm going to state that my spelling is bad. Just so everyone knows. I now know that you understand how stressful it is to sit in the locomtive (OR even worse, the dreaded control cab.) the control cab is the worst place to be. there is no protection for me.. if i hit a car.. a cement rtruck.. a log teuck.. or anything.. if you can spell INSTANTLY DEAD, thats what i would be. Many people on here don't have to worry about being in control cabs. I do.. we don't turn the locomotives around, so going into montreal the conductor (me) is in the Lovomotive, but on the way out of montreal, we don't switch which end the locomotive is on.. instead the last car is knoiwn as the control cab.. you can control the train from there when going the oppostie dirrection. I'm sure i've done the worst job ever at explaining myself, if Ed or anyone knows what i'm trying to say, please feel free to help me out. The cotrol cab is the most dangerous place ever. Your sitting less then 1 foot away from the glass.. and it's LOW to the ground unlike the locomotives.. so if i hit a car.. i'm dead instantly.. i'd be crushed... or some terrible death. i wouldn't even make it to a nurse, or a hospital. Don't get me wrong.. unlike a freight train.. the longest train i've ever driven is 10 cars. so my stop time is signifiacantly better.. then a freight train.. with the new locomotives, i have almost got the ability to stop on a dime. whens it 3 cars.. stopping is no problem in an emrgency. I hate the crontrol cab.. i have to realize that as soon as i enter that... that's utterly heartwrenching... The people see me when i get on the train i wlak by them most likely wiht a smile on my face, but what they don't see is me inside terrified, that tehy'll all survive the crash.. but theres no chance in heck i will... they don't get to see that.. thers a greater chance i'll never see anyone i know again.. somone up there wrote.. was it joe? he said.. when people are hit.. they always blame the railroad.. that is true beyond anyone could ever know.. it was their stupidity bvut men don't like to take responsibility for their mistakes.. right? they went across the crossing when they shouldn't have.. so whose fault can they make it... was it the whistle was broken... or the traindriver was drunk.. or the signals were busted and soo rusted that they could never of worked... weve heard a lot of excuses.. 1) the red on the CN locomotive wasn't bright enough 2)_ one of the lights ont eh crossing barriers wasn't working.. it was only flashing on way.. so a guy thought that meant it was automatically safe to cross that crossing or the most famous one.. that has been said more then any other ones.. 3) I DIDN'T THINK THE TRAIN WAS MOVING THAT FAST!! i hate that one.. that means they saw the train.. but just wanted to cheat it. HOW did he GET that out of that?.. (referring to #2) see what i mean by dumb? anyways.. i wish i could explain a control cab better... i'd would love to know what you mean by.. what team are you on Train disatser relief... you said.. can you explain what that is? i'm sure we don't have that up here unless i missunderstood it.. anyways hope this helps out kev.
