[quote]QUOTE: Diesels are harder to start than your car's engine. Also, the stuff they put in the radiators includes coolant, but not antifreeze. So in cold weather, the engines have to be kept warm, usually done by running them. Lately, though, with the cost of fuel rising, some (probably most) railroads have installed systems to shut down the engines and start them automatically at a threshhold temperature (this applies only to units left idling, of course!). At the fuel rack, no harm will come from a locomotive left running. But, in the interest of conservation, all but one unit in a line might be shut down, in good weather. For not-so-good winter weather, see above. [/quote] Thanks, CShaveRR
