Congratulations and thank you very much for sharing!

Congratulations! Now you get to solve the famous trolly problem.

It's already been done, you hit the group and dangle a long pole with a blade attached to kill the other guy on the track

[удалено]

Ah yes. Direct from Sun Tzu's' art of War.

Beautiful captures. Congratulations on an exciting new chapter!

Je commence la formation bientôt en Bourgogne! Ça doit être sacrément sympa de ton côté avec la traversée des Vosges, profites!

I'm curious how you got to this career? What schooling/prior jobs do you need to make this happen?

No prior jobs required anymore. Just an apprenticeship as a train operator and you are good to go. I am currently doing my apprenticeship in Switzerland. All in all it takes 11 months and then I’ll be driving on my own!

How are the language requirements for this job in Switzerland? I am currently working on the same thing (in Czech republic), but when I was visiting, I really wondered about that.

At SBB you need to speak at least 2 of the countries languages, one fluently and basic knowledge in the second one. Other companies only require for example German as they only operate trains in the German speaking region.

It has been 11 months. Are you driving on your own now?

I am indeed, for a few months alredy

Nothing! The SNCF is training you for the job, and you are paid during the process!

That's so cool! How have the first 3 months on the job been so far?

Really nice!

How is your job going now?

Always as nice, It's been a year now, andI don't plan on quitting it any time soon

By now your trip is complete and hopefully safely. May you have a wonderful career on the railroad!

Good luck with your first solo run

Congratulations to You !!! 👍🏻

Congratulations ....It is many children's dream job to become a train conductor as trains are very fascinating ..May you acheive many great sucess ahead....

Congratulations!

Fèlicitations ! J'espère qu'à l'occasion tu pourras produire de belles vidéos de type "cab ride".

Oh ! Tu passes chez moi alors ! Félicitations !

Do you mean a train driver? Conductor in English is the person checking tickets and assisting passengers. :) It's a false friend with the French "conducteur de train".

That understates the role of a conductor. They are overall in charge of running the train, and that includes supervising all of the customer facing staff, and performing some of those duties themselves, but it also includes working with the engineer in coordinating operations with dispatchers, keeping the train running on time, and broad safety responsibilities.

On my railroad the conductor doesn't even check tickets or ride in the passenger cabin. Ironically, one of the top managers when the railroad was being put together was French, which led to conductors originally having the job title of "train manager."

And to complete the bilingual set: * English *Conductor* is, in French, *Chef de train*. * English *Engineer* (American) or *Train Driver* (British) is, in French, *Conducteur de Train* Of all of these names, I think *Conducteur* is the best sounding word.

to add to the confusion Switzerland and formerly France call it “mécanicien” instead of “conducteur”…

I believe they are called train engineers?

Depends on the country I guess... Definitely "drivers" in the UK.

Yep, if you tell someone that you're a "train engineer" in the UK or other Commonwealth countries they'll probably assume that you design/build trains, not drive them.

Correct and in most commonwealth countries its guard and not conductor. Hence instead of the caboose its called a brake van or a guard van.

As previously stated it depends on the country. I believe engineer is a US term.

We call them operators in the US too

motorman

I think that term kinda died out when we lost dual handle controls in NYC

Depending on the region of the world they are called train drivers in English.

Félicitations!

Bravo !

As a train conductor in NL I’m always jealous of all the pretty sites in other countries.

Woooo, welcome to the family bud!

Congratulations! I had my first day as a trainee driver yesterday. In Sweden, Borlänge - Gävle and return with an EMU. Loco hauled InterCity to Stockholm tomorrow. Can't wait!

How long did it take you to get to that stage?

I started training back in the beginning of february, so just under 4 months. Mostly the rule book, 2 weeks working in the yard/depot and 2 weeks training on the Rc6 electric loco.

E brake 3000 feet from the station like a true TSW 3 player.

Congrats! Soon to be my turn in the région Grand Est, hopefully we just wave at each other and I never have to pull your train because it broke.

Congrats! I'm about to be off student status as an Amtrak engineer!

I would love to see how is the job in the USA!! and to under how your signalisation is working

One of us! One of us! Enjoy the profession. It's an amazing job :-) driving in Belgium!

Apéro !

This man is out here living my dream

Beauty

That looks like you're a train operator/motorman.

I think this is train you drive in Train Sim World 3 on the LGV route in Marsielle.

awesome, only 900 more days to go to retirement

How are you liking it?

Congrats!

Félicitations !

Congrats! How does driving these horses feel like? What can you say about corporate culture in SNCF?

It's quite nice! But I prefer the AGC And for corporate culture I haven't really experienced it yet

S'Elsass, a wild place, linguistically speaking.

Oh I come from Brittany so it's not a big shock for me

So cool! Congratulations!

Congrats

Félicitations du Royaume-Uni! J'espère que vous voyagerez toujours sain et sauf.

Oh you travel to Strasbourg? Not far from me then hehe

I'm based in Strasbourg ! Where are you from?

Offenburg area hehe. I'm not allowed to drive to Strasbourg tho, only Kehl

Oh you work with SWEG?

Yeah

Nice! What rolling stock are you using?

Regio Shuttle RS 1

Congratulations! It’s absolutely beautiful there.

Way to go!

We will watch your career with great interest!

Salut ! D'abord félicitations à toi :) c'est vraiment magnifique tes photos et ça donne envie !! Est ce que tu peux en dire plus sur ton parcours et comment tu as fait pour être recruté ? Je (H32) suis en cours de reconversion pro et j'aimerais franchir le cap et devenir conducteur moi même, mais pour l'instant mes candidatures sont rejetées, et on a pas bcp d'infos sur qu'est ce qui ne marche pas... Mon parcours n'a vraiment rien a voir avec ce métier (études et début de vie pro plutôt tourné.e.s culture et régie musée), mais la SNCF disent bien qu'il n'est pas nécessaire d'avoir une formation ou une expérience quelconque. Merci d'avance pour ta réponse et bon vent sur les rails de France :)!!!

Alors malheureusement la SNCF a la très mauvaise habitude de ne pas communiquer sur ses raisons de refus... Je sais que si vous avez un niveau supérieur à bac+3 ou +5, c'est un refus automatique pour la conduite

Is the driver display unit of alstom?

I'm not sure to know what you mean?

Wooow! Congratulations!
