    AC4400AW does not display rear brake pressure in certain scenarios and schedules,But replace it with***,involve Sand patch ,Sherman hill,Cane Creek, More than half of the AC4400CW cannot be displayed rear brake pressure in,Other models of trains will display rear brake pressure even if there is no EOTD at the rear of the train

    Pressure on the rear of the brake pipe is displayed ONLY when you have an EOTD on the trailing coupler of the last car in the train.
    To my knowledge, this is well simulated in the game & the in-cab equipment doesn't work if you don't have it...

    Check for a small white box with a flashing red light. If it's not there then you won't have the end pressure on the in-cab equipment.

    There is no EOTD, but I cannot manually install it. Is this intentional or a game bug? Normally, EOTD should work at the rear of the train

    1. You cannot install EOTD manually at the back of your train. No, it's not a bug. EOTD is not an interactable entity on American trains in TSW. ( Although you can install taillamps on some British trains )
    2. I'm not aware of the official rule regarding the usage of EOTD in US. But, I've seen a lot of American trains without an EOTD on YouTube. So maybe that's not entirely wrong !

    For mainline freight, I believe the only time an EOTD is needed is if there is no rear DPU loco on the back of the train. If the last car is a piece of rolling stock, an EOTD is needed, if it's a loco, it is not.

    Not sure how local or switching operations are handled, since cars are routinely swapped in the consists (Same goes for yard switching.)
