I
n the conventional environment, CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements are triggered by
short horn blasts and vary with the state of the locomotive.
• If the locomotive has been stopped for less than 15 seconds, a short horn blast triggers a
"please standby" dialog.
• If the locomotive has been stopped for longer than 15 seconds, a short horn blast triggers a
"cleared outbound" dialog.
• If the locomotive has started moving within the last seven seconds, a short horn blast will
trigger a "train is underway" dialog.
• If the locomotive has been moving for more than seven seconds, a short horn blast will
trigger a "are we clear?" dialog.
• If the locomotive has been moving and the bell is ringing, a short horn blast will trigger a
"go to restricted speed" dialog.
