Not sure whether this was a thing they were doing in their own time as they were wearing their uniform, or whether it was a part of the route learning by GNE, but it seemed like a pretty good idea to me.Also running dead I noticed the X20 drivers some go via Durham whereas some go via washington.
I often wonder, when drivers are learning the route, are they told alternative ways like if a road is closed, or if they make a wrong turn how to get back on to the route?
Do they learn these dead runs or do they need to learn them in their private time.
