This is railroad equivalent of AAA coming out to do a roadside tire change! A bad traction motor had to be removed from under the unit before the unit could be moved. I suspect the traction motor seized, meaning the wheels were not freely rotating. A dummy wheel set will be placed under the unit so it can be transported (on the rails) to the shop for further repairs.
