That was so funny i laughed for ages Pressing that stop button at the end of a 12 hour shift is music to my ears[:D]

QUOTE: Originally posted by kevinstheRRman You all have to be kidding me. I've never read somehting more stupid in my life. Well, actually, that one time I read that book by Paris hilton... But aside from that, this is Eff'n stupid. the most part of you are terrified.. to tell a a railfan how to 'turn off' a locomotive? BigBoy Deleting his post, CSX engineer terrified about what he could unleash. Is it national pre-emptive april fools day or somehting? Last check, Google Turned over 1.6 Million seach resustls for Locomotive opperating instructions' and even more for manuals. You know, it's people like the most part of you, that cause locomotives to be shot at, Driver impatiance because of your king-of-the-world attitude. LC, I hope your overly proud of yourself. Can't answer because you don't know, eh? But it'snot jsut LC... You know, perhaps it was the way I was raised, Perhaps it was the way I was educated, Or perhaps it's an influanceof my uncle Who has worked at CPR for 33 years, or it even might be the general environment Around headquarters. I would never even dream of treating someone who posted an honest-toGod question with such disrespect. None of the locomotive Engineers I know would treat anyone like a you've all successfully done. Because if it had been that way, I would still have been messing my trousers and also knowing I wouldn't want to step foot on the railraod as an employee, let alone I hope none of you, really ever ask yourself why people get mad at Engineers, call you guys names, try to skip crossings.. Just scroll up, and see if you can find an answer. BigBoy was right, before he Deleted his post anyway, why is everyone being so weird about it? 'Terrified' was a word I read. I feel like David letterman; I can't beleieve What I am Writing. I thought this site consisted of Grown adults that were able to provide legitimate answers to questions being posed. If I asked any of you how to load a gun, because honestly, I have no clue, I gues you wouldn't tell me, right? Not that I want to know, but because of a misifre, I might come after you and you personaly liable, is that the reason? You think that would fly? That is pathetic, that is stupid, that is the dumbest thing I have honestly ever heard. Based on this, Can I have an honest answer as to why the 'Stupid Question thread' was such a hit? You've mostly qualified For 'LC's stupid answer' thread. I know the first thing that is going to come back is: It's a joke, sheeesh. When someone asks an honest question, an honest answer is due. No exceptions. This is not the pentagon, and i didn't see the terms 'aliens' or 'Area 51' in the question. You treat people like this, then you wonder 'why are people mad at me'? You know,unlike the most of you, if you don't like what i've written at all, not only is my e-mail ON my profile, it is also a hyperlink in my signature. Click it, tell me how much you hate what I wrote, call me names because i've never heard them before, and we'll talk from there if you don't like the rules of this forum. Here's a synopsis of my original argument: Get real. get a grip, Oh and get off your high horse.

QUOTE: Originally posted by wabash1 rodney your alittle off base first off the engine wont freeze up for at least a day with 400 gallons of water it takes time. kevin i dont care what the public thinks of engineers its never bothered me. when they try and beat me at crossings i give it another notch and try and catch them. csx and rodney i see your point it would be great pain in the rear to have someone like mookie( sorry mook your the only one i can think of) run up and hit the fuel cut off then run back to her seat so she can watch your rear end while you get out their and crank your engines up. ( girls like that) and when your not watching she run up and do it again. better watch them ones with cell phones they will call a friend and have them cut your train so they can watch the conductors walk.....
QUOTE: Originally posted by Rodney Beck CSX you stay on that high horse and I will join you, I being a locomotive engineer just as you know what can happen to the engine when they are shut down. Some people just do not get it, locomotive engines do not have antifreeze in them because of the cost they will freeze up and cause major dammage if they are shut down and not drained just because some jack a** was tired of the noise. Those are my engines and keep your hands off CSX and I went through the training programs to operate them so again keep your f*cking hands off of them. Rodney Locomotive engineer BNSF
