Every engineer here is responsible for inspecting the power at the beginning of his tour of duty. A train delay caused by low water is going to be charged to someone in either mechanical or transportation. Someone on the morning conference call --trainmaster, yardmaster, RFE, mechanical -- is going to be made to squirm. <br /> <br />I'll eat crow on the low water/hot engine trip. Shows what happens when you get away from the trenches. It's been 14 years since I came home every night (or morning!) with locomotive dirt embedded under the nails. I dug the manuals for everything out of the closet, and yes, I remembered completely wrong. And the more I thought about it, the low water will trip usually trip on the water pump before hot engine occurs, because the water pump will start sucking air intermittently. <br /> <br />But, if you need anything looked up on a SD39 or a GP9 or a 567B, I can oblige! <br /> <br />OS
