Hey guys,
A few weekends ago, I was hoping to catch the local working it's job, and was excited when I drove up and heard the engine running. Started talking to another railfan, and come to find out it's been sitting there for hours now idling, no one in it (their work done for the day).
He said they just keep them running when it gets cold (below freezing maybe?). So, I reckon it sat there idling that Saturday afternoon all the way until Monday.
Do they normally do this? How come? Is it really that hard to start the engine back up when it's cold? Seems very "un-green".
Thanks!
Kyle
