RAIL 0105 - Locomotive Engineer

With the help of a locomotive simulator, this course will reduce on-the-job training trips. Trainees acquire mastery of good train handling and fuel conservation practices, which can lead to significant future operating economies. Real-time in-train force display enables trainees to see the draft and buff forces as they would be generated on a real train; reduction of in-train forces reduces damage to lading. On completion, trainees will have a solid overall knowledge of locomotive systems and safe train handling practices, as well as an understanding of locomotive and car air brake operations.
