I know Train vids aren't everyone's cup of tea, and it's taken me a while to get into this guy's rhythm, but what other "informational" Train channels are out there? Instead of the pure footage, sometimes with horrible color commentary.

Despite appearances, the Austrian class 1082, of which one was built in 1931, was fully electric. Three traction motors powered five axles via siderods.
A rotary converter allowed the traction motors to be fed with steplessly-variable voltage. It needed much maintenance, and it wasn't until the 1980s and the introduction of high-power semiconductors that the ideas behind it became practical.

The closest I can find on Wikipedia's list is the WCP-1. The IRFCA list did not yield a more steamer-looking match.

Honestly, I don't normally do anything. People, mostly homeless, sleep on the metro all the time and nobody bothers anyone.

Is this address ever checked? I'm permanently IP-banned for no reason (happened when half of the board was nuked, probably included my IP range by accident). I sent two email appeals, no answer after a month. Please...

I think I know the issue.
Are you using gmail?
They now completely reject e-mail from domains that do not have at least an SPF record.

The only person I've ever seen hire out as a conductor and was unable do the job(with age being a huge factor) was a 55 year old gentleman. He had the awareness to see the job wasn't for him and resigned.
That being said, I had a stint in the track department and this wiry, 60+ year old, preacher with some health problems, could out spike me despite being less than half his age.
I'd just say that if you're in your 50s you might really struggle with railroading, but it's not necessarily a show stopper.

I'm feeling chatty and was actually arsed to post tonight, hence the (relatively) large flood of replies. Apologies for any inconvenience.
In other news, one of my local shortlines just got some "new" power for their turn jobs: a trio of ex-UP SD60Ms. Built in late 1990/late 1991, these motors just might be the newest locomotives in the fleet. The Gensets built in 2007 don't count because Gensets suck and aren't real locomotives.
