That was me broken down but it was cab car problems and nothing with the BL20GH. The other mini also had problems and had to go to Stamford on train 1881 to swap the 130 out due to HEP problems. Not a good evening for the Danbury branch.

#130 was parked at Stamford lower Yard today, meanwhile on the Harlem line #112 is on one of the Mini-Bomb sets.

Hypothetically, if the cab car were on the blink, could the engineer operate the locomotive in reverse? Not that you would, but could you?

not in regular service, only to get it to a repair facility.
