Description
I found this Engineer sitting in an empty open box car soaking up some warm afternoon sun at the Railway Depot in Silverton, Colorado.
I am sure his thought was "How lucky am I to have this job!?"
This Boxcar is a part of the Durango-Silverton Narrow Gauge in Colorado.
An engineer (American and Canadian), train operator, hostler or engine driver (British and Commonwealth English) is a person who operates a train. The engineer is in charge of and responsible for driving the engine, as well as the mechanical operation of the train, train speed, and all train handling. The use of the term engineer to describe this occupation in North America should not be confused with the usual meaning of engineer, as in someone who engages in design.
For many American railroads, the following career progression is typical: assistant conductor (brakeman), conductor and finally engineer. In the US, engineers are required to be certified and re-certified every two to three years.
In India, a driver starts as a diesel assistant or electrical assistant (in case of electric locomotives). They then get promoted on a scale: goods, passenger, Mail/Express and Rajdhani/Shatabdi/Duronto.
In the United States and Canada, train drivers are known as "locomotive engineers". In the United Kingdom, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, they are known as "train drivers", "engine drivers", "locomotive drivers", or "locomotive operators".
