NS GP40-2 #5140 with the Oakwood-Milan Local while running LHF suffered a engine failure by the Taylor Walmart where I work.the Conductor restarted it after shutting everything off in the engine,which did the trick and they continued on down the line.this was around 5:30pm.I wouldve taken pics of it but I was on the clock lol

It's funny how the old un plug everything and plug it back in trick works on stuff other than the Internet modem!

Sounds like electrical failure shut the engine down. The only way to shut down a diesel is to cut off the fuel. No spark plugs. No coil. No distributor.
