So question for all engineers, at around 11 minutes on this video, Earl blows his whistle for the Highway 17 crossing and just as he is finished, the engine starts to slip. My question is this, If the engine had started to slip during the middle of the whistle, on a grade, with a tonnage train, how would you handle it?
