are military sniper rifles not good enough? What am i missing?

Could they not just get the military snipers to go to SS?

I've always assumed (arse u me) that's where the majority came from???

It is reaching for something on his chest harness, can't tell what he has mounted?

I don’t know? So I’d say not, just personal home computers. I’d not heard of “Falcon” sensors until this event.

Looks Like you might be an NSer? Do you guys use trip optimizer? I'm a BNSFer, we almost exclusively use it, under penalty of investigation, so when you say "shitty engineer", i'll retort with shitty AI program to run the trains... and that train make up you cited that was a shitty engineer, maybe, if we were able to split screens and run manually, and had years of experience doing it, maybe... but our trainees come out the program with practically no hands on training running trains, fire up PTC and Optimizer and let'r run...
2-3 years ago, in a 13 month period we piled up 3 bargals/galbars between KCK and Galesburg, ILL, a lot of undulating track, all of them 8-10,000' long 10-14,000 tons, made up almost like you described with DP, Optimizer running and everyone with the DP in high throttle, descending grade, head end ascending grade in low throttle or idle, crazy run in, in middle of train with a bunch of emties.... BOOM, calamity...
So, your generalization of "shitty engineers" doesn't" quite cover everything/one and all situations...

Also, didn't the Palistine train get caught by a detector and they were told to keep moving to next station to set out car or inspect? don't recall exact details...

All that being said, these long trains are no good, and we/the RRs are getting lucky they haven't piled shite up in a major population area yet...

In my humple opin....

bump for update

Sounds great, what could go wrong? On the up and up, Am I missing something?

Well,you baws were definitely disappointing... I've read hundreds of the OT threads and much more creativity was evident, perhaps my original post didn't give much to work with, may the ladies links in first post would have gotten started better...

I was looking for they's show up with a couple cousins and uncles and a uhaul and beat me to pulp and aquire all my shite... OR, show up with an over night bag and toothbrush and declare squater rights, i'll leave for $5k. OR, give me $5k or i'm calling cops, for abductions/attempted rape... and downhill from there...

thought maybe you guys had some stories, first/second to share... anyway, thanks for nothing you grumpy grumps...

Nightforce and swampfox arrowhead, I’ll do some readying. Familier with Nightforce. Did some Prarie dog shooting with those. LARGE scopes. Great light gathering. Unfamiliar with Swampfox. Thanks again.

eBay or FB marketplace a Dell Latitude 5570-80-90 for ~$150, upgrade to a 512gb SSD and RAM to at least 8gb. A fine puter for <$300

Heck, you might find it with those upgrades/specs for that initial $150.
