Upon leaving San Antonio the train was discovered to have main air reservoir problems.

And as usual, only ONE unit, I would guess.

But no one will get fired for such stupidity.

Excellent point, MEKoch! EMD's E8 and E9 engines had TWO prime movers, and TWO steam generators for redundancy. On top of that most trains operated with two units
back in the day. One unit wonders are assinine!
