[quote]QUOTE: <br />shutting down units that are not needed for power....and if your stoped someplace for a while..shutting down units untill your ready to go..... <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />That's something that I have noticed at roberts bank where I go train watching. <br />They used to leave the yard engines and run-through power running ALL THE TIME, lately (especially in the warmer months) I notice that they seem to be shutting down everything when it isn't in use (except the BNSF units for some reason? - they don't come around to often anyway). <br /> <br />Lots of times now I see the yard engine start-up and go, with no warm up or anything, it certainly is a big difference even from just a few years ago when nothing was shut down, ever.
