    Hi!
    Im trying to drive a service in Train sim world 4. (Schruns to Lochau-Hörbranz)
    I have activated PZB. It all works well for 2 or 3 stations. In the middle between station 2 and 3 the Sperre Traktion light comes on. No braking is triggered or anything. So the train rolls fine into the next station.
    However, then I cant get the train to move.

    What am I missing? Any tips?
    The PZB display shows 85 all the time so dont think Im missing anything PZB related.
    (SIFA is not enabled)
    Thanks for any hints.

    It is likely you passed a neutral section. Did you see any blue signs next to the track?

    I actually did!
    I have followed the signal guide that was posted back in TSW2 and that was not included.
    Any updated signals guide?

    Blue sign with two white dots: neutral section upcoming, get ready to open main circuit breaker.
    Blue sign with white smiley face (actually: deconstructed "u"): open main circuit breaker. (before passing this sign)
    Blue sign with small white "u": you may close the main circuit breaker again. (once all raised pantographs have passed the sign)

    If you don't manually open the circuit breaker before entering the neutral section, the train will do it automatically. (and also lower the pantograph, I think) You'll see the blue sign with the white smiley displayed on the screen to your right to let you know that the MCB is open and the train has no power. If you raise the pantograph again and close the MCB you can continue driving.

    Tip: don't accelerate while you open the MCB, train loses power the second you open it and if that happens mid-acceleration that's quite uncomfortable for the passengers.
