Steam Amtrak Morristown Line – Cab Car: Dynamic Brake Not Working When Alp-45dp In Diesel Mode

On the new Amtrak Morristown Line, when driving from the bi-level cab car with an ALP-45DP as the locomotive, the dynamic brake (controller pulled back past idle) does not produce any braking force if the ALP-45DP is set to diesel mode. The lever movement is recognized, but the train does not slow down, and the HUD also shows no brake effort being applied.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Select a service with Bi-level Cab Car & ALP-45DP.
2. Switch to diesel mode.
3. Drive from the cab car.
   
4. Pull the controller back into the dynamic brake range.
5. Observe that there is no dynamic braking force, and no HUD brake indicator.

Expected Result:
Dynamic braking should function correctly in diesel mode when operating from the cab car.

Actual Result:
Dynamic brake is completely unresponsive in diesel mode; only works properly in electric mode.

No dynamic brakes are available from the Multilevel cab car with any locomotive in any configuration. This is prototypical, as per real life you cannot command dynamic braking from any of the NJT cab cars (comet or MLV). The controller has dynamic brake notches simply because in real life it is the same part as the controller used on the 46s and 45s.
