At the #1 Circut Breaker Panel, place the engine control circut breaker in the OFF (down) position. Doing these two action will cut off fuel injection and cause an immediate engine shut down. Also, you can shut down the engine by fuel starvation by turning off the Fuel Pump circut, but that's usually not a good idea. That's how it works on newer EMDs (those intructions were from an SD80MAC to be exact). you want to know why... ill give you a few reasons why... 1...becouse unless you work for the railroad in train service...you dont have any real need to know how to shut down a loco... 2... with all the anti-railroad anti-noise people that are always moveing next to rail yards or next to tracks where trains might tie up outside of the termial..and ***ing about locomotives ideling and the noise they make... i am not going to be part of giving out information for some "civian" takeing it apone themselfs of shutting down locomotives only to have A..the engins not being able to be restared becouse they shut them down wrong and killed the battery...and B... shutting it down and haveing to have the crew that comes out to get in a a few hours have to walk the train for a air brake test becoues some butt head didnt want to hear the noise of a ideling loco sitting "to close to the 200000K house he just bought a week ago"..... not to mention the fact that once all the air bleeds away..the risk of something very bad happening should the train manage to start rolling due to handbrake issues (im not getting into details about them either) csx engineer
