Question, how does a engineer compensate for slack in a train? Example: He powers his loaded coal train up a steep hill and then start's to go down a hill. Is there a meter or gauge somewhere that tells him when to cut power and start applying brake? Or does he go by feel? How do you train a computer to feel slack action? <br /> TIM A
