Geocache Description:

Yes, coming to your neighborhood, remote control operations (RCO).
You need to look approximately 170 feet to the NNE to see a warning sign, sorry the rules of geocaching would not allow me to place 'the cache' any closer to the sign. Beware of heavy muggles/traffic. Also, there is no conventient place to park near the cache.

The technology has only been in wide use since approximately 2001, has effect on the railroad work environment. The reason the major railroads have been going toward remote control operations is to cut jobs. The freight railroads use conductors or trainmen to move the cars around switching yards to build trains or break them down. In the past, these shoving movements were done by certified engineers who could operate the smaller locomotives in the yard to push or pull the cuts of cars around. This job used to be called the hostler job or yard engineer. The conductor has to wear a vest to hold the remote control unit or "box".
