I have been interested in railroading for a long time.

Do the class 1's test for depth perception for train crew (conductors)? I can pass the vision test and color blindness test, no prob, but might have problems with the test for depth perception...

I have no day-to-day issues with it however I did do poorly on one of those tests where you look into a machine and see the cones/rods and have to tell which ones stand out from the rest...

Thanks for any & all replies in advance!

You will have to do a peripheral vision test and a near and far sighted vision test. That is all I am aware of.

SeaRail, It may effect you at night when you are counting cars. Reason why I say that, I use other cars that are parked in the yard to count my moving train for shoving. I am not sure excactly what they test for on each railroad, but it would be something to check out on your own.
