“I’m having problems with the train so I’m going to turn it off for two minutes. Metro apologizes for the inconvenience.”Needless to say, I was skeptical. I thought I was in for another long morning. But he turned it off. When the driver doesn’t touch the controls for a bit, the engines and A/C turn off (screensaver) and bit later, the lights and really the rest of the power goes off (sleep or auto-shut-down). He waited through this sequence and let us sit in the dark for about 30 seconds. Then he rebooted the train. It worked.
It’s like he hit “ctrl-alt-delete” or something. But I suppose the actual equivalent would be my favorite PC fix: unplugging the damn thing and starting over.
