I work for the rail industry & travel on diesel trains almost every day. The modern ones in current use, although powered by diesel, are still very reliant on electronics. The automatic brake (dead mans pedal for the driver) is an obvious one straight off. No electrics = brakes locked on tight & the train is going nowhere.

good point, but what kind of switch is it? forklifts use bog standard mechanical microswitches, these shouldn't be affected by an EMP, especially if partially shielded by the grounded loco body?

in some cases, those with the least to say, say the most.....
