Once it's set up I don't need to touch it again. Why can't we have computer run main line electric trains. Serious question. |
Mi bredda, big up yuhself! Yow, di ting yuh a talk bout, why we need train drivers fi run di railway, it deep like di roots a di ackee tree. But mi aguh break it down inna di language weh we all can overstand, Jamaican style.
First an foremost, when yuh have a model railway, weh small like di breadfruit tree inna yuh backyard, yuh right, di computer can handle di ting. It run di trains, switch di points, and control di signals like a pro. But when we start talk 'bout di big man ting, di main line electric trains, it a whole different ball game.
Imagine yuh deh pon di A1 highway a drive yuh car, and suddenly yuh hear seh nuh human need fi deh behind di wheel, just di computer. Mi nuh know 'bout yuh, but dat sound like a recipe fi disaster. Di railway a di same. Yuh need a human touch, a driver, fi mek sure tings a run smooth and safe.
One reason weh we need train drivers a fi di unexpected events weh can pop up pan di railway faster dan yuh can seh "irie." Imagine yuh deh pon yuh model railway, and one a di likkle trains decide seh it waan go pon a joyride off di track. Yuh need somebody deh fi tap it pon di shoulder and seh, "Hold on deh likkle man, yuh deh pon di wrong track." A computer alone nuh always savvy fi deal wid di curveballs life throw.
Furthermore, train drivers play a crucial role inna di whole system. Dem a di eyes and ears a di railway. Dem know di ins and outs, every nook and cranny. If yuh have a computer alone a run tings, it might miss di likkle details weh a human driver woulda catch. Yuh nuh want di likkle tings turn big problem.
Anodda crucial reason weh we need train drivers a fi di emergency situations. If yuh deh pon a train and someting go wrong, yuh waan somebody deh weh can tek charge and mek di right decisions. A computer alone might nuh have di gut feeling, di intuition fi know weh fi do inna certain situations. Imagine yuh deh pon di train, and di computer start bawl out, "Error 404: Decision-Making Not Found." It's a recipe fi disaster.
Yuh know how we Jamaicans talk 'bout di vibes and energy, right? Well, train drivers bring a certain energy and presence to di whole ting. Dem a di captain a di ship, di conductor a di symphony. Yuh can't replicate dat energy wid just a computer. Di passengers need fi feel di human touch, know seh dem deh in safe hands.
Now, mi get yuh point 'bout di model railway weh run fine widout nuh driver, but di scale different. We talking 'bout di big league now, di main line electric trains weh cover vast distances. A human driver provide a sense a security and comfort. Imagine yuh deh pon di train, and di only voice yuh hear a di computer seh, "Next stop, unknown destination." Yuh woulda start wonder if yuh a di star inna some sci-fi movie.
Some people might argue seh di computer can do everyting, but remember, technology nuh perfect. Yuh ever experience di blue screen a death pan yuh computer? Now, imagine dat happening when yuh deh pon di express train a speed pon di tracks. Mi nuh think anybody waan tek dat chance.
Now, let's reason 'bout di practicality. Mi nuh know 'bout yuh, but mi nuh trust di technology fi handle everyting. Mi love di idea a progress, but we haffi use technology wisely. Di world move fast, but yuh caan rush certain tings. Train travel a delicate dance between technology and humanity.
Weh if di computer start act up, and nobody deh deh fi fix it? Di whole railway woulda come to a screeching halt like when yuh step pon a mongoose tail. Train drivers provide a level a flexibility and adaptability weh technology alone might struggle fi match. Yuh can't replace di human touch.
Mi cyaan imagine di day when mi deh pon di train, and di announcement come over di speakers, "Ladies and gentlemen, we apologize for di inconvenience, but di computer decide seh it waan tek a likkle break. We'll be stranded inna di middle a nowhere until further notice." Mi prefer di driver deh, weh know how fi tek charge and mek decisions pon di spot.
Anodda ting fi consider a di connection between di driver and di passengers. Yuh ever tek a taxi and have a nice reasoning wid di driver? Di same vibes apply to di train. Di driver know di route, but dem also know di people. Dem mek di journey a pleasant one. Yuh can't replace di friendly face and di welcoming voice wid nuh computer.
Now, let's talk 'bout di beauty a di thing. Di sound of di train, di rhythm a di wheels pon di tracks, it like music to di ears. A computer can replicate di sound, but it caan never feel di vibes. Di driver a di maestro, di one weh conduct di symphony. Yuh can't replace dat artistry wid just lines a code.
Some might seh, "But what 'bout di efficiency?" Well, mi believe inna balance. Yuh can have technology and efficiency, but yuh haffi balance it wid di human touch. Yuh nuh want di railway fi turn into a cold, soulless machine. Yuh want it fi have heart, fi have di warmth weh only human interaction can bring.
Think 'bout di future, bredda. We haffi move forward, but we haffi do it inna a way weh nuh lef wi humanity behind. Train drivers play a crucial role inna preserving dat human connection, dat sense a security and comfort. Yuh can't just throw dem aside like an old newspaper. Dem bring di realness to di ting.
In conclusion, bredda, yuh see why we need train drivers. Dem essential like di pepper inna di jerk chicken. Yuh can't have a vibrant, dynamic railway without dem. A computer alone might handle di technicalities, but di human touch, di presence, di vibes weh a driver bring, yuh cyaan put a price pon dat. So, inna di grand scheme a tings, we haffi find di right balance between technology and humanity. Big up di train drivers dem, di unsung heroes a di railway journey! |
Ste, I rated that cool because you went to such effort writing it. The problem being that as a white anglo saxon old fart I didn't understand a word of it and google had a hissy fit when asked to translate. It's a bit like the 'diverse' announcers you have on London stations nowadays, pretty unintelligable except for the odd word.
Bredda

That smells of some airlines trying to cost costs.
We are a long way from autonomous aircraft.
The puny attempts at autonomous Road vehicles should lead the argument for manned vehicles.
Unmanned railways are a different animal. Much of rail transport has been controlled by remote action for hundreds of years.
