I was watching trains near summit at Tehacaphi when the engineer started walking back from the lead engines on the BNSF grain train. I offered him a ride and we went back to the mid train DPU's to restart one of the new GE's, a 4700. It had shut off and the train required all of the units to continue for the downgrade around the loop. The engineer was grateful as the midtrain helpers were 5000' feet back and I got to watch the unit isolation and restart. He then put it back on line and called the conductor to load the unit. AS I drove him back, I realized how much time he saved with someone around to help. It is always great to help and you get to see the operation. <br /> <br />
