On the ACS64, Suppression brake notch was moved to about 64%. Should this be done on the F40 too? Because Suppression is still between Full Service and Handle Off, meaning full brakes end up applying every time ATC/ACSES drops the speed and you have to react. Also, I think I saw this mentioned in another thread, but the brake handle still behaves like the manually lapped Caltrain version. If you put it in Minimum Reduction, there is a constant flow of air sound, move it to about 5% and it stops. You an hear the little clicks for the holding & lap notches. Full Service also has a louder constant flow of air sound like the brakes are in manually lapped 'Apply'. The brakes still apply as you would expect for self-lapping, but the breaks are significantly weaker than the Caltrain version so I'm honestly not sure if this is by design or a byproduct of the brake handle being messed up. MBTA Service 911 Boston-Stoughton (13:18) - Nearly the entire run between Back Bay and Canton Junction was 30-45 MPH because of ATC. There was nothing ahead of me to cause adverse signals. After back bay, you get the 90 limit, then ATC decides to have a field day of stupidity and drop to 45, then 30, then back to 45, then 30, 20, 30, 45, 30.... I ended up over 5 minutes late to Route 128, and finished well over 10 mintues late at Stoughton. On the Stoughton branch, just after Canton Center (I think it is, its the first station after canton junction), the level crossing gates are down when you arrive. As soon as the objective clears for Lock Doors, the gates go up At Stoughton, the manual switch at the end of the platform is default diverting to the right, even though the platform continues on the left side.
