Title is pretty self explanatory. I’m running the “Equipment Move” scenario on the Oakville Subdivision. This scenario has you operating a consist with 5 locomotives. 2 GP38-2 and 3 GP9RM. I took the extra time to set up all the engines so they all apply power and brakes, following the manual. But I noticed that the MU-2A valve has an option for Trail 24, when would that be used?
Sorry to hijack this thread, but if anyone could explain all of the Trail settings (Trail 6, 24, 26), I would be immensely grateful.
24 RL and 26L are two different brake standards. The MU2A valve lets you set the trailing locos to match the one used by the lead. Type 6 is an old obsolete system, althoough it might just turn up in Clinchfield. All CSX locos use 26. The CalTrain FP40 uses 24, but it doesn't factor into gameplay because they never operate as MUs in the PC.
