Abstract
- VIA's latest simulator has evolved from training tools dating from 2016; before that, Cooke says training consisted of a locomotive control stand in front of a 50-inch TV. "We try to recreate the whole trip an engineer will take - from printed documentation provided in the briefing room to the locomotive cab", says Cooke, on a Trains tour of the facility in September 2022. That's because Jonathan Cooke, VIA Rail Canada's senior manager, operating practices and transportation training, told console operator Pablo Larrain to change the weather inputs on VIA's engineer training locomotive simulator.
