UP 8843 is overheating when throttling up, and then shuts down. UP's mechanical desk would help the crew troubleshoot UP 7801 so it would start loading again. However, nothing could be done about UP 8843. It would be isolated and the crew is waiting for the Corridor Manager to decide what the train will do.
