    Service is part of Journey mode. Train keeps accelerating while throttle is idle (and engine provides no amps), on a flat section, just when leaving Boston station.

    Doing the run again and now it seems to work fine.

    First run I remember I released the brakes but forgot to set the cut-off valve. I did cut-in the brakes while the brake levers were in the released position. Perhaps that caused the issue?
