We only had a few female “braketts” on the MOP / UP division out of New Orleans. Only one of them stayed for a few years. One only lasted a few months. She refused to line the inside crossover switch that was lined to come out of the yard onto the main line where we were. I refused to more the train until she lined both switches for straight track. Even after I explained the rule and why the rule was there, she still refused to go line it. I called for a Trainmaster and he explained it to her then he got down and lined the switch. She worked back to New Orleans the next day and was nothing but trouble. A few weeks later she got fired while still in her probation period. The others did their jobs well but did not stay very long. We did have one female engineer out of Shreveport, LA that was still working when I retired. One day we both arrived at Alexandria at the same time on opposing trains and both crews rode together to the Sheraton. When she came down for supper that evening none of us recognized her. She had on a nice dress, heels and we found out she had long hair that she kept tucked up under her baseball cap while working. She cleaned up damn good. Word was that she was a very good engineer. This happened before they took the caboose off the trains. One of the signs of a good engineer was their ability to give a smooth ride to the conductor and read brakeman.

Top notch precision railroading, from the conductor riding on the inside of a covered hopper, to the female engineer shoving the train back with her seat reversed, I mean is there a rear view mirror 🤷‍♂️. Man I’m super impressed with the 14 cars on a local job with one pos switcher! Keep up the good work!

Jaw Tooth. It's great you posted this with mention of the woman. I look for the day women's time will be freed up and equalized within the homes so more of them can contribute and do so long term until retirement in all sorts of great professions. However, it's not just family lives causing the shortage of women and short careers, there's other matters in the way which hardly get mentioned. Women need peer respect and cooperation to last out with or without family matters along the way. The treat here was seeing and hearing her in her natural habitat. 😊

Jaw Tooth. Thank you for the fast replies and the heart. I've watch some of your videos over time when they come in the feeds. Just days ago, I started getting more in feeds about women on rails after I opened someone's video, hardly any prior in over a year of using KZread, though pilots and ship officers videos arrived more. And your two videos on women turned up two days apart, I saved one and watched both today. I might have seen another with a woman on rails from you or another rail fan videographer several months ago.. However, I am impressed with your videos and your mention of women when they happen by. And it touches my heart that you say in one of your replies to me a woman knew who was taking the video because she saw you doing it before. I live by two live lines, close enough to recognize a face (if I'd know) someone in it peeking out. Not easy to see them when not peeking out, but I hope to see a woman looking at me some day. I also cross those lines nearby, and so hope to see a woman looking out there. If I find one there, I'll give her a vocal cord mangling loud 'Women Power!' call out, in hopes she'll hear over the diesel. Or it'll be a nice try. Oh, I was an engineer. Not that kind, an airplane engineer. These engineers don't fly but I did move airplanes from the pilot's seats - "taxiing" and from tugs - "towing" alongside all else to maintain them. My career was short-lived due to too much non-cooperation from male peers so to put it. That's got to stop. We'll see more women if more men cooperate from all angles of life. You encourage that with these videos.

Great job.

WOW @ :44! The house OR garage, whatever it is LOOKS like it is sitting on the railroad tracks! 😨😱And I bet the lady operator loves her job! I know I would. Driving all that horse power around all day! That's a big Ol train right there lol! Thanks for sharing! 😊

He keeps it light and his love of the subject is infectious. I see he’s nearing the 100K mark in subscribers.

I look at female railroad engineers the same way I looked at female bus drivers. I sold products to a school district that had its own bus fleet. Half of the bus drivers were women. Talking to the mechanics in the shop they related to me that half the women approximately were very good drivers and easy on equipment. They also related that half of the man approximately we’re good bus drivers and easy on equipment. I don’t see any reason why a female properly trained would not be an excellent engineer. The manager of the fleet a female was a better manager than the previous person a male who had been in the job for a decade or more. She was not a know it all and would take good advice on equipment maintenance.
