The reason why the CSXT 8888 (CR 6410) is because it was a modified unit in designated service when it was on Conrail before the merger. The CR 6410 was in Pennsylvania Power & Light's Strawberry Ridge power plant coal service. The alertors, and yes they had them, were modified to permit "free standing" of the train while dumping of rotary dump cars and positioning by power plant equipment. No independent nor automatic brake is applied during the unload except on the last few cars. So the alertors were set up to not to apply the brakes when the engineer was not there or when the train was moving. Apperently CSX did not know that when they acquired the locomotive from the merger. Hope that clarified one aspect of the situation that happened in Ohio.
