Won't have the option of having a crew member in the cab on these remote jobs.

I hope the remote guys have fun in the rain!!!

I bet you, they are not even on the rain.

Last night a guy was operating a train so I heard it to
whistle so he can pass the crossing (the track goes in front
of my appartment) then suddenly I hear the emergency
brakes go on.

I jump off the couch, grab the camera and went outside
(I was already thinking he hit some desperate driver)
but no, I guess he press the wrong button so the train
(1 loco and around 10 cars) stop staring the crossing
so when I got to the front the guy was playing with the
remote control panel instaled in the loco trying to
restablish the air line.

He lost around 7 min, all the traffic was stopped and finally
he give up the remote control, went inside the cab and star
moving the train again from there.

Here is a pic from the loco in reference.

Groundhogs have no business being the cab.

Just when you think the RR can't make a job any more miserable.
