It's not like he's right anyway. You and I both know the crew would already be in hot water for speeding before they even got off of the train.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - November 2023
Is there like a software that would alert someone in Jacksonville if they were speeding? Even if overspeed was c/o on the locomotive?

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - November 2023
I don't know the parameters for CSX's PTC, but when I was doing PTC signal designing work for the NS account at an engineering firm in Jacksonville, FL NS's PTC would take action if the train was traveling more than 3 mph over the speed limit.David Collins wrote: ↑Wed Nov 22, 2023 9:31 amIs there like a software that would alert someone in Jacksonville if they were speeding?

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - November 2023
Yes, PTC would catch and enforce a penalty application for speeding. On non-PTC territory, the ERAD would alert the proper management instantly of a speed violation if no corrective action (braking) takes place.David Collins wrote: ↑Wed Nov 22, 2023 9:31 amIs there like a software that would alert someone in Jacksonville if they were speeding?

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - November 2023
Not trying to incriminate anyone so my original post was edited. I was not implying a violation, just that they were moving faster than 35mph. Provided they were exceeding 35mph thru the EE switches at CH 45.3, no violation would've taken place given the limit, if still there, sits east of Rickett Rd. at CH 44.2 and is for the head end only. I should mention I make a concous effort to redact information that could get anyone in trouble. Last I had checked the limit sign still sits next to the crossing but I could be wrong.

Good rule of thumb: Never comment on speed. Unless you're in the cab, looking at the speedometer, you don't know.

Great video & thank you for uploading. There looks to be an old track on the right, was that a siding to a business at one time, or was that where the Helpers used to be kept at?Steamlogger wrote: ↑Wed Nov 22, 2023 2:06 pmI was able to make it to the top of the hill just as the combined L301 and M326 crested the hill.
