    Hello Everyone,

    I was doing a timetable service to Penn Station in the snow and there was a speed reduction, and when I tried to brake and acknowledge the ATC/ACSES, I got a wheel slip and I couldn't acknowledge it in time before the penalty brake.

    Are there any suggestions on how to operate the LIRR properly in the snow?

    Thank You

    Basically driving slower than the maximum allowed speed. anticipate to what ATC can drop next, and a bit of route knowledge where acses will kick in.
