Re: Favorite scanner chatter
A few I can think of off the top of my head:
When Conrail was running Triple Crowns on the Ft. Wayne Line in the late 90's, Pittsburgh West was giving a form D for crossing protection at Lima to RR241 and was having radio reception issues. After repeating pretty much the whole order for about the third time, DS says:
"You'll be over the darn crossing before you get the darn Form D! This is ridiculous!"
One of the most intense things I ever heard was a Conrail DS talking to an employee trying to obtain track time to do a hi-rail inspection of some sort. I couldn't hear both sides, but apparently the employee was occupying the track without authorization. When the dispatcher realized what was happening, he was furious. The only thing I can remember is him saying: "you would have been killed, and I would have to live with it!" This was followed by some kind of order about calling on the landline. (Reminds me of the BNSF "hot water" DS.)
On the CSX Toledo Sub, there was a running inside joke for a number of years where a certain engineer would come on the radio and say "TRAIN DIRECTOR...OVER." Then, either he or someone else would say "WHOOOOS DIS?" This would be followed by "STAND BYYYYYYY!" This sketch was mocking the Queensgate Train Director (which was reportedly abolished recently.)
A certain crew member that I used to hear a lot on Q377 on the Indy Line Sub was almost completely unintelligible when calling signals, sounded either drunk or half asleep:
"ceeeeeeeeeesssstQueuethr-sev....clear sig...uhCPeeeeeeeeonesixty..westuhhhhh"
A friend told me once that he heard a Conrail crew at Airline Yd. in Toledo come on the radio one night on Channel 1 and proclaim: "...somebody really f----- this thing up." There were reportedly no more communications heard from this guy for quite some time afterwards.

Re: Favorite scanner chatter

The AA sounds happy but thats par for the course for them
