Canadian Railroads > Chilly ??

Glad I went into Engine Service long long ago. No more digging out switches as my Conductor was doing way back December 2007. We were departing Prince George BC, heading south on the BC Rail Prince George sub.  "Miller Switch" needed to be lined normal.

Miserable to be wet and cold. Bet the heater's cranked up in the cab. Thanks for sharing.

Makes me feel cooler, considering the heat and humidity of late in southern Ontario !
Nice photos !

While it's nice to have the option of remaining in the warm cab, more than once I got down on the ground with my conductor to help dig stuff out.

Yes, occasionally I would help the Conductor digging out and lining the switch.  As I got older and wiser, most of the Conductors were younger and had more brawn than me, they could handle the switch without me.
