*COUGH* !! are you sure ?[...] Realism is pretty important to me [...]
Yeah i've been working for them for a bit now, kinda boring compared to what i did before but at least the shifts are planned in advance and the pay is goodWell, that loco DOES have the same name as his user description (sbbcargo)
Are you indeed a real driver of trains ?
Yes, I've seen that ! Pity we don't see him through the locomotive's windscreen !!
Hi Flusi,
Thank you for inviting us behind your windscreen : much appreciated ! Nice to meet you !!
Cheers,

That video is awesome, but steering wheel? That seems like it would be a lot of fun, but as they say, "It used to be fun, now it's work". I have a nephew who does this for Union Pacific, but the schedule of hours and days is sometimes a real killer. Quite a few end up divorced and in drug rehab.
Sorry to hear of your employment going down hill, make sure your "Pension" contributions are safe !!Hi Philippe, Forester1,
No problem haha I don't work for that company anymore so i can post all the Videos of me driving and doing stuff without facing any issues now - which is nice!
Yep, steering wheel haha. They are electric engines from the late 50's, it is used to control the 28 notches. Those engines actually worked way better than the modern cr#p we have to deal with today. Class 193 / Vectron especially, god i hate those things with a passion. But most good old 110, 139, 140 and 151s are gone now, those times won't ever come back and i can be happy to have been one of the few my age that trained on these things and worked them on a regular basis for years.
And yes, the job itself is pretty horrible these days. I'm lucky to work for the swiss state railway now, having a maximum 12h a day and a shiftplan a month in advance, never having to sleep in a hotel (for now). But its steadily getting worse everywhere. In other companies they have you work 16-18h and don't even give a damn if you end up in the middle of nowhere afterwards, how you get back home. I'll probably leave this profession rather soon, it's just not worth it anymore. Once my dream job, after 10 years now, my old engines gone and it beeing the same exact routes and assignments every day, i hate going to work more than ever...
So, getting back on topic, i moved the steel mill a few miles off and out of LOD range of the port in Veracruz. Some track layouts had to be redone and i'll have to build a branch line over there - but hey, better than the 15 FPS slideshow despite a 3080TI i guess
That's what nice about me working on a tourist run. The pay sucks, but the schedule is great.That video is awesome, but steering wheel?
