Do what I was supposed to do? Like save fuel by isolating power? Yeah, we did that... that's why we're about to stall out. What part of that did you get lost on?

There is nothing you can do except comply. Let it stall, dig into the rail head, and flashover the traction motors. Screw it.

They don't listen to experience. Did you know the sanders now time out, that we can no longer use them at our discretion for extended periods? Wasting precious sand, I guess.
