BRACE FOR IMPACT! The ZLCTM Broke Down In Fresno

I was out running errands when I overheard on my scanner that the ZLCTM was having Mechanical issues with their Power. I am not 100% sure what happened as I only caught the tail end of the conversation with the Train Dispatcher, but it sounds like they had a Traction Motor failure with their 4th unit, and were instructed to set out the defective locomotive at Fresno Yard, by the Train Dispatcher.

I followed the ZLCTM crew the best I could, this is a combo of phone catch and some regular camera. The Crew tied down their train on Main 1 just South of Shaw Ave, proceeded North to CPSP 197 and switched to Main 2 and reversed in to Fresno Yard. This is their journey I captured...
