Wabash, I wasn't talking about an alertor penalty. What I was talking about is when you condition the remote consist in a DP train the remote automatically goes into emergency unless you have allready put the automatic in continuos service and you have no BP pressure. I personally link while both consists are next to each other (I usually take both consists to the rear of the train, cut away the rear power and put it on the train, condition it, go to the lead consist, link, put into set-out mode, and run to the head end and tack on that power and finish BP test, Leak. test etc) When the lead consist is linking it gives me a Distributed Power penalty and goes into emergency and sands. Why it sands I do not know??? You sound like a pretty sharp feller. And yes I am pretty young on the RR. Got a lotta lessons to learn here. Sometimes I throw stuff out there that I am a little unsure of and look for the correction by somebody that knows. Worst case scenario, I get some intellectually stimulating chat, and possibly an answer. That's how I learn. Until next time....
