    Hi, this is my first time posting on this. I recently bought NEC NY Trenton and I observed something odd with the ACS-64 and ALP-46 AI services.It seems like AI electric locomotives are running without their pantograph on. To be clear, this is something I have only witnessed on NEC NY Trenton, Boston Sprinter is still running fine and the Acela seems ok for now.

    I made a few tests and I decided to start on foot at Trenton at 13:30. There was am Amtrak train, lead by an ASC-64 on the southbound platform and its pantograph was on. However, a few minutes later, another train lead by an ASC-64 came in the station (#84 Norfolk - Boston to be exact) and both pantos were lowered, even when the train was moving. By curiosity I jumped in and was able to get it to move, without touching the pantograph and mcb settings. I tried to put the panto on so I placed the mcb off and lowered the pantograph. Oddly enough, I heard the pantograph being lowered even if it was already off. Then I placed it back up, I heard the sound of the pantograph going up and making contact with the catenary. However, when I looked outside, it was still lowered. Even weirder, I was still able to move the train. As for the ALP-46, I have witnessed several of these locomotives (AI) suffering from this bug in service mode.

    This is not a game breaking bug, but it clearly looks odd seeing an electric locomotive running without its pantograph on. I feel that is clearly something we would never see in a German or UK route. I am currently playing on a Xbox series S, I wonder if players on other platforms have encountered this bug.

    Thank you for reading this.
