Reply to "Crew talk and tower communication"

I do not care for crew talk, however my nephew does.  I have not hooked up my TMCC yet.  He thinks crew talk is great and gets on me about the one room schoolhouse I cannot get it to light.  He said schoolhouses back in the late 40's and early 50's period were not lighted at night in rural areas.  Thank you, third rail and barrister.2u for reminding me that they used hand signals, flairs etc. in that period.  I like to run trains in the evening its relaxing at the end of a day.
