Your dad worked in engineering services? We in the running trades have a love hate relationship with that department. If a conductor twists his ankle walking on uneven ballast, we blame the section. But we do appreciate their compliance with rule 110.

One freight train can go from Vancouver to Montreal but they change out crews at each terminal.

Cars are dropped off and picked up at each terminal crew change. Not always though.

Welcome Jock. I'm relatively new, too, and still finding my way here. You must have many interesting tales to share from your train driving adventures.
