My truck at work

I know, they are crappy cell phone pics but its all I had. Bad part is, I almost lost my tailgate. The stupid locomotive has a short in it somewhere. I was in idle and throttled her up a bit to get the radiator fans to kick on and the damn thing started moving. Luckily I have mongoose speed reflexes cause if I would have been a little slower my tailgate would have been a pretzel!

Sweet! I think it is the inner boy coming out, but trains are still cool!

Are you jumping the train or something!? Cool stuff!

(Note: I know nothing about trains, so don't bash if that is a dumb question )

Exactly what happened.

Shaunakadub, I wasn't jumping it this time. Just changing out a part for the airbrakes. Jumping these things is a pain in the ***. I use 2 150' long cables that probably weigh 150lbs a piece or so. Really not fun dragging those out and tryin to untangle them lol.

Physically it was in neutral. There was an electrical short in the control system that put it in forward.
