Females have been qualified Engineers for 30 years or more in my experience.
Never too old to have a happy childhood!
Does anyone know how many lady engineers there are today. I know Amtrak has some. When I rode the Carl Sandburg (#381) to Quincy, it had a lady engineer and she was solo in the cab. When the Ft Worth Dispatcher radioed to issue an order for a meet between Galesburg & Quincy, she brought the train to a nice smooth stop, received the order, read it back, DS made it "Complete" and away we went. I was sitting near the conductor and he also copied it.
Also had one on a Pacific Surfliner (#769). She was operating in the cab car and I requested to be allowed to come forward (rope across the aisle) and she said I needed to stay back by the stairs which I did. Cab door was open and at one stop, after cussing out the brakes ( I think she overshot the desired stopping point) she then jumped out of the cab, ran down the stairs, and assisted the station agent in some labor and came back up and away we went. Both handled their trains like the pro's they were.

Probably not as bad as if it had said they smell worse... and one of them found out about it!
