    I'm writing here because I think it's the right place.

    Hi!
    I'm playing on PC (Steam). I'm really enjoying this route, but there's one issue that's bothering me more than others.

    On M8, once you've completed a journey (for example, Stamford-GCT), when you change cab and start the train, it feels like there's "resistance". Even with the brakes released, the train struggles to accelerate. When you shift into "Coast" mode, you can clearly see the train slowing down without having applied the brakes.

    I don't know what's causing this problem, but I hope it's fixed soon.

    Otherwise, it's a great route. I love driving in New York!

    (Sorry for my English, I don't speak it very well.)

    I'm having the same issue. I have to put the power handle into at least 75% to get it to move.

    Same on PS5. Hope there’s a fix or a workaround, because the (literal) struggle is real

    I’ve noticed this too on my Xbox. I investigated my entire train and saw nothing. Not even the parking brakes were on.
