GROUND LIGHT CONTROL

Y
our non-powered locomotive is equipped with
functional Ground Lights. There is one Ground Light
located on each side of the frame, near the center of the
front truck. Prototypically, it is difficult to determine
when a diesel locomotive is moving at very slow speeds
in extreme low light, or darkness. When operating the
locomotive under these conditions, the Ground Lights
provide the engineer and fireman with a visual reference
to the ground and allow them to more accurately judge
the motion of the locomotive.
AUTO MODE is the default operation of the Ground Lights. In AUTO MODE, the Ground
Lights are ON when the locomotive is stopped and they remain ON when the locomotive is
in motion through speed step 24. At speed step 25 and above, the Ground Lights are OFF.
When the locomotive slows to speed step 24, the Ground Lights will turn ON. In the Legacy
environment, you may activate the Ground Lights when the locomotive is in motion at speed
step 25 and above using the icon shown below to turn the Ground Lights ON. When the
locomotive comes to a stop by either throttling down or by pressing the DIRECTION button,
the Ground Lights will default to AUTO MODE. You may also set the Ground Lights so that
they will remain OFF when the locomotive is stopped or in motion by using the icon shown
below to turn the Ground Lights OFF. When the Ground lights are set to OFF, The AUTO
MODE is de-activated.
For optimal effect of the functional Ground Lights, operate your locomotive in low
