If I'm considered a broke dick you must be rolling pennies for gas money lol.

YOu're not providing evidence your job cannot be done by a computer at a fraction of the cost with more efficiency. And weren't you supposed to post up a paycheck for some reason and post up your benefits in relation to mine and explain how yours are better than my non union ones? You disappear it seems, when you can't either brag about your money or your union

Shows how ignorant you are about autonomy. If a broke dick like you can do it, a computer can do it 4377 times better.

Just shows how ignorant you are about the nations railroad system. Oh but on dfwmustangs anyone can be an expert on anything. I almost forgot about that.

At max power one locomotive can produce 1500 amps. On a 120 volt system thats 180,000 watts or 180 kilowatts. In it's simplest form a locomotive is nothing but a large generator.

that's all? We installed 2megawatt gen sets that could power huge data centers....they switched into 4000 amp service banks. Seems the train is just a little motor compared to the V16's these had.

Think if those computers took a shit out on the main line, then you have a dead train on a main line holding up other trains. That deliver goods to many of the places you shop. Or they go nuts and blow through signals causing a huge derail with hazmat chemicals all over the place.

Same argument can be made for an engineer having a stroke, dozing off or playing Angry Birds on his phone

A maintenance guy every hundred miles or so to troubleshoot. Feasible.

Interesting. So wouldn't it make more sense to, instead of destroying the trains after their service, hook them into the grid?

My guess is that the current methods of boiling water is still more efficient.

Some serious haters up in hurra.

Hr guy from Omaha told me they took several engines to Louisiana after Katrina and powered several towns.

I'm fairly certain a computer could do a better job than you.

Lulz. Hope you don't wind up dead here soon. Threatening a union monkey's job is srs bizness!

FT, are you saying you cannot program a train, to travel down a set distance, reading in front of it with radar and other current tech? I venture it'd be safer due to the fact that the computer doesn't get tired or distracted

This makes me wonder why trains aren't autonomous yet...

There's no reason you need a trained monkey to drive something that only has 1 choice of where it's going.
