Those itv/btv crew room tv are so boring. They show the same stories over and over. Weather report is best thing on there.

I know! Though my UP TV has been broken for over a year, I recall the boredom. They should run it like old-school Telemundo programming. Fat guys presenting company metrics with tanned beach babes! Sigh, UPs Director of Woke Thought (Equity and Inclusion) would never allow it...
It smells like dead fish in here
They should show adult tube sites on these crew room TV for entertainment purposes.
Be good if the hot dog guy and bathroom guys could have a video talk on crew room tv . They a very creative with those comments.
After we read all the paperwork, check the tpa , car count , where to pick or setup cars on the route , wait for train to be inspected, fuel tanks to be filled up , etc ,,,. Sometimes have to wait 3 or 4 hours for a taxi, if the train is at a out of town siding and not parked in the yard . All this time the Up tv is showing the same stories over and over,,,.
UP should have Morgan Freeman and Sam Elliot read the posts and comments from this site on the crew room tv’s. I am willing to bet most employees would enjoy them and it would increase employee engagement of what’s on that screen. Hearing Morgan Freeman verbalize even the hot dog guy and the bathroom guy would more accurately reflect exactly how UP is run than any of the current propaganda.
Have you considered looking at your train list? If it is beyond you there is the "throttle forward, throttle back, stop" option. Apparently it's refered to as a promotion...
And, then there is the hotdog option...
Sounds like you’ve got too much time on your hands.
