The commentary .... ugh.
All the conductor has to do is knock the brakes off, a quick inspection, and remove chocks if placed while the train builds air and away you go. I'd do my brake test closer to the main line just so I am out of traffic and probably on better footing.
We had a guy watch us switch in Carville, MD, last week and put the photos/video to Facebook. My favorite line out of his commentary was the train was "blowing very loudly" as we crossed MD Route 305.
Out of curiousity though, where is this industry?
