Chassa Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 An engineer (American and Canadian), engine driver, loco pilot, motorman, train driver (British and Commonwealth English), is a person who operates a train. The driver 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.

ChrisY1 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Many similar incidents involving people going or coming from a merit making session..... But for these idiots that don't or can't see a train, they should never drive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardinalblue Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 In my 60 years, first time in my life I have heard driver and train in the same sentence.... show some respect, they are conductors at worst engineers.... when was the last time you heard boat for a plane?

fantom Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 The other paper reported she stalled on the tracks, saw the train, attempted to reverse but was blocked by cars behind her. There was no explanation as to why she did not drive foreward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huainnews Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Where I come from, engine driver is quite correct, conductors are people who collect your fares on a bus or train. And there are also flying boats, aeroplanes fitted with buoys to land on water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
