    Service U877
    The EOT is under last car Capture.JPG
    I can't get the independent brake to release irregardless of settings of brake valves (all handles in mu lash up in release) unless I hold the
    indy to bail in lead loco, when I let it go it springs right back to 40 psi even tho the handle is in release. IDK if this is related to the eot not being hooked up and the sim expects to see it? as the brake pipe will not charge more then 8 psi

    I can confirm the EOT, the other problem is not really a problem. ;)

    Is the indy releasing for you as well as showing 90 psi in the pipe after your fully charged?
    When I choose the AC44 to lead this service the indy's work correctly and the brake pipe charges up, not so with a CW40 leading.
    If I'm missing the obvious please do share!

    First I set the MU-2A valve,

    then I set the brake cutout valve to freight (yours is set to cutout).

    Finally I release the brakes and can start immediately, no problems at all.

    I thought you would figure it out by yourself while looking at my green circle on your screenshot. ;)
