    This is terrifying. I would not want to be in that cab with fire all around me.

        Just turn on the AC and you would be fine. Wouldn’t be the first time a locomotive ran down a track while on fire. Lol

        If that were a few years ago you probably wouldn’t be wrong. Rest rules are more restrictive now and twelve hours is max on duty while operating.

      They are not panicking because they are professionals but if you listen to their voices you can hear how scared they are. I know because I do what they do for a living.

      Trust me they are panicking very much so; that is why the locomotive engineer tells the passing train to “notch up” or add more power to the traction motors. They have no options but to stay in the cab, why would they freak out at this point? Cool minds have better outcomes in times of stress.

    I thought he was being sarcastic when he was like “you guys got a light now or what?” until I realized he was radioing the other train about the signal 😅

      Can you imagine? Im good with my dinky little assignment thank you. 😊

      Edit: After re-reading your comment i realize that you are asking what he meant and not repeating what he said.

      A meet is when two or more trains that are opposing each other’s directions on single track meet where there is a “siding” or second track long enough to hold one of the trains so the other(s) can keep going.

      I thought you were agreeing with the locomotive engineer and reiterating what he said. So my reply to you was “no thanks I prefer my little dinky train that travels only a few miles to service customers”.

      I hope I’ve explained in a way you can understand. 😊

    So where is the media hunting down Doug Ford and asking him to explain his cuts to the firefighting budget?

    Let’s talk to the rural Ontario hicks who elect Ford.

    Standing still to record the flames around you, either you are way too addicted to social media dopamine rushes or you know you are not going to make it.

    Edit: I should’ve taken a better look with sound on….
