Norfolk Southern Locomotive Engineer Training Handbook Manual

Friday, January 11, 2013 If you look hard enough you might be surprised to find that Atlanta is a haven for railroad and train enthusiasts. Not only is there a large organization dedicated to the building and maintaining of model train layouts in the metro area and a museum that allows visitors to climb aboard over 90 cars, engines and cabooses but there are also actual working railroad yards that move freight and passengers in and around the city as well as teach locomotive engineers how to operate the powerful engines. As part of a Three of a Kind photo feature for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution I photographed the Norfolk Southern Training Center in McDonough. Locomotive engineers from all over the country come to the training center to spend four weeks in an intensive training program to learn how to operate the engines. Between 300 and 700 engineers come to the facility each year.

NS Loco Engineer Training Handbook & Workbook This is a lot of 2 books used by the Norfolk Southern in their training program for Locomotive Engineers: * Locomotive Engineer Training Handbook (October 1992) * Locomotive Engineer Training Operating Rules Workbook (January 1993) The Handbook measures 8.375' x 10.75', and contains 264 pages. The Workbook measures 8.5' x 11', and contains 66 pages. In both books, all pages are crisp, clean, tightly bound to the spine, and have no writing or dog ears. The Handbook includes specifications, cab numbers, and operating equipment make-up for the following locomotives: GP38 AC, GP38-2, GP40, GP40X, GP50, GP49X, GP59, SD35, SD40, SD40-2, SD-50, SD-60, U-23-B, B23-7, B-30-7A, D8-32B, C-30-7, U-30-B, U-30-C, C-36-7, and C-39-8.

The Handbook focuses on learning the various systems needed by the Engineer to operate a locomotive. The workbook tests knowledge on many operating rules. Condition of both is Like New.

Both are unused, but have slight soiling on the covers. The books provide an interesting insight into locomotive operation, and the knowledge requirements of an engineer.
