SP had the greatest detectors....Sweetest female voice....UP got rid of them and replaced them with this other chick that sounds like she just got off the boat....Heaven forbid if you had a defect...My gawd this bitch would naw your ear off...."STOP YOUR TRAIN! STOP YOUR TRAIN!"

WC had this god-awful queer sounding male voice, we called them "prairie fairies." For a while after they gave us the all clear, in a different voice they would say "have a safe day." That's what we wanted to hear because lord knows the air waves weren't congested enough with the dispatcher cranking out Track & Times and warrants, trains talking their way through For B's or trying to get a hold of the bridge operator so that he could line it for them.

We still have a couple of real SP detectors on the hill. We have one detector on the east end (old UP) that sounds like Steven Hawkings fucking Robocop. Most of our detectors have that standard lame ass dude like that NS detector posted someplace else here.

That train looked like the hot Portland to LA pig. That hawg needs to skinnerback!

Hey Briz, do your detectors down in the big T have that kick ass recall deal like the BNSF has up here? Its always handy with the dippy babble mouth broad that we have up here. She always manages to start babbling when some crew is trying to make a joint or trying to hear a detector. My buddy Dave who works the BN road switcher here went off on her when she started talking when my conductor got to "two cars to a hook".

Most BNSF detectors have a recall code...I remember when they first installed them on the Cajon...Bad mistake...All fuckin day long from Berdo to Barstow everyone would hit the recall code after any detector went off...Especially when several VERY unliked Ds's were working....

The UP down here has some but they never work...Go figure...

Ahahah, I know the one you are talkin about that sounds like Hawkings...There's only one around down around these parts...

Yea it looks like my old Central Cali stomping grounds. Given the mile post I would say its just RR east of Sackatomatos. On the SP anything going towards San Fran was west anything going away from "The City" was east. Even the new guys keep the old SP alive It drives the up fucks nuts!

It's funny, we have recall on our side but they've never posted it on a bulletin, somehow, someone found out, key up 001 and it'll repeat. Sure comes in handy sometimes when you're just not quite sure if it went off.

They finally gave each detector on the Cajon a certain recall number before I left....But it used to be somethin simple like pressin the * button or somethin...If you got lucky and conditions were right, it would set off multiple detectors.....

The detector said 119.5....? My old SP buddy said everything started at mp 0 from San Fran and went up as it went east, north and south.....

Im guessin maybe around Tracy or just north of Stockton....Its definately central cali though...You can take that to the bank!
