    You are in power notch 37 out of 39.

    And you wonder why the brakes don't work?

    If you accelerated too harshly and drew too much power from the OHLE, or passed through a neutral section with the loco either accelerating or braking, you probably tripped the circuit breaker, meaning you need to push the reset button on the dashboard.

    Are you certain the brakes across the entire train have released? Did you miss an AWS or DVD alarm?

    It’s hard to know what the issue is as we don’t know what has led up to this situation. My best guess would be that the brake pipe has been overcharged. If you have at any time held the brakes in the overcharge position that could have caused this.
