I cannot believe Railroads such as CSX & CN-IC, still shut down units entirely. .....AND crews having to use jumper cables !!! Good Grief ...Is that 3 rd world or what ?.....I really feel sorry for anyone that has to work for CSX or especially CN-IC...At BNSF,we isolate the unit,let the auto -start manage the prime mover & components...NEVER shut the unit totally down electricicaly on the road, that is asking for trouble...Sounds like railroading in India or Pakistan....I guess that is why we move freight at 70 mph while the BUSH league guys poke along at 40 mph,,,AFTER using jumper cables to start the locomotives.... Good Grief......THIS PROVES, the east does not have a clue how to railroad.........BNSF- BARSTOW,CALIFORNIA
