Guess they cold borrow an XPT power car and tow the "dead loco" up to
abou160 kph, and put her into 3rd gear and drop the
clutch......eh......um...... maybe they could put a set of jumper leads on
the Dynamic fan grids and connect the other ends to the Main Gen or Starter
Motor....... or maybe they could just back the EH along side......
