I bet you the next that young man runs into you he'll have his friends with him and they'll treat you to a special dinner. It's about time we hear more stories of people with a heart who are willing to go the extra mile to help somebody out.
It's terrific that you implemented your connections with and knowledge of the local railway infrastructure to help one guy out. Have you ever considered a job in railroading?
@SantaFebuff Not really. The earlier F59PHIs only had the engineer's side marker for when they were on the end of a train. The other side was an emergency strobe like what SP had on the nose of their engines. These would only go off if the train went into emergency braking.
that was so sweet of you!!!

Nice story; it's good that you had the connections to do that!
Now, is it normal for those trains to run with just a single little red marker on the loco like that? Seems it would be hard to see from a distance.

Thanks! Yes, only one marker light is lit when the F59PHI's are in Push mode.

@SantaFebuff Nahh, the F59PHI units only have one. The opposite one in an emergency light and is only triggered by dumping the air completely.
