Gee, after after all the threads we have had here where everyone was telling everyone how to START a locomotive, why all the secrecy about how to stop one?

I can think of about a dozen ways ...

The easiest way is to simply let it run out of fuel. Be sure to follow Ed's instructions first, then throw the fob away, along with the key.

Remove the key from the ignition, shut the door, and pu***he LOCK icon on the key fob....

Shut down a loco?

Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, March 11, 2006 12:15 AM

How do you shut down a diesel locomotive nowadays?
is it by a switch in the cab or a switch engine room?
or is there a notch in the throttle that shuts it down?

cheers
