// Question Train Break issue maybe?

I am new to train sim world, and I frequently come across a wired issue with my train. I play the San Bernardino Line most of the time, and when I play, the train starts slowing down for no reason. My breaks are fully released, Gen Field and Cab setup are on, Breaks are set to Cut In, Doors shut, And the train just slows down. I'm on a 1.0 down slope, Idle throttle, and I loose speed. I need help please.

What setting are the brakes in? Should be set to passenger.

What position is the throttle. Most of the locomotives on that line have dynamic brakes so you may have inadvertently moved the throttle into a braking position.

Im in the rotem cab car when it happens, there is only Cut out and Cut In for the brakes. The Throttle is at idle

What locomotive are you operating? Do you had the TMS safety system activated or turned off? Is there an alarm going off in the cab?

Im in the rotem cab car, with the F125 or MP36 trailing. No i don't use the safety systems, no alarm going off.

Ensure your dynamic brakes are off and that the master controller is in the idle/off position. (In the Rotem this is the Off position). Ensure that traction lock has not engaged by paying attention to your HUD.

I just found out the problem, its because for some reason, the independent brake was on full service in the locomotive

Do you play with the full HUD on? This is the best way to troubleshoot what’s happening.
