CSX Q198 was having some problems with it's engines. When I got there they were both off. It was weird being by two huge engines and it being silent. What else was weird was that he was on the right-hand track. They run left-hand traffic here and have since I was born. Taken in Marietta.

  • hey do you have the running number for the lead unit?

    Thanks

    Ryan

  • Lead unit is #5297

  • there was no prob with them. they were shutdown automatically with AESS.

  • Thats what I thought a first but then I heard the alarm going off in the engines and it was a scheduled train and it just didn't make sense to me why the engines would've shut down. I can understand if the crew went dead and they shut the engines down but I couldn't imagine that they'd let this train go dead because its intermodal and scheduled and even if the crew did go dead, I've never seen them shut the engines down.

  • However these ones may have been off From Automatic Engine Start / Stop

  • That is so a GE, i dont know much on engine shut off and on, but it seema like many people know about it. Must be eerie to stand by 2 big GE's and they're silent

see all

  • evvery train must have an engeneer or the other train are controlled electronically.

  • I've had those days. LOL. You just hope to outlaw in a "convenient" place.

    Where do you run?

  • I've had many days where nothing was going right that I was hoping to go on the law so it would all be over... lol

  • Probably more eerie if its an EMD

  • Being outlawed isn't the same thing as being late. They are two entirely different things.

  • Since Q198 Is A Intermodel,

    I Guess The Word "Nightmare" Comes From A Term Used Earlier In Railroading "Get Ya' Fired Trains" Make Them Late, And They'll Get Ya' Fired.

    It Was Something My Engineer Friend Told Me About High Priority Intermodels.

  • Engineer's worst nightmare is 'outlaw'?

    Huh?

    Please explain. I've run and managed engineers for 28 years and I can think of many, many, many worst nightmares than outlawing.

  • Maybe They Outlawed? That's A Engineers Worst Nightmare.
