He Lost Power

Somewhere between Wilmington and Anderson RTC, the train lost power. The engineer had to get out of the train and walk back to the motor to fix something.

He walked along the tracks to get back to the engine in back.

Then, an outbound train came clacking by. A few moments later, the engineer walked back along the train to get back to the front of the train. I guess he didn't get run over.

All in all, it was about a 5 minute delay. It could have been worse.
