I f your locomotive is in any of the shutdown stages, you can return your locomotive to normal
operation by pressing the F6 button two times. Start Up will be different for each stage of

returning to normal operation.

If you press the F6 button two times while the locomotive is in the disconnect stage, the
locomotive will produce a long air let-off sound and enter normal operation.
Start Up from stand-by
If you press the F6 button two times while the locomotive is in stand-by, the locomotive will
produce a long air let-off sound, the Directional Lighting will turn on, and then the locomotive
will enter normal operation.
Start Up from complete shutdown
If you press the F6 button two times while the locomotive is in the final stage of shutdown, the
locomotive will produce a long air let-off sound, the generator sounds commence while the
headlight comes on gradually and the cab lights turn on. After the pumps sounds turn on, the
locomotive will enter normal operation. During the Start Up procedure, none of the function
buttons are active.

Neutral sounds

S ome function buttons used in forward and reverse will have different effects in neutral.
Except for HORN and BELL, if a neutral sound is occurring when you press one of the
function buttons, it will start the effect associated with that button and will terminate the effect
that was previously playing.
• The F7 button produces brake squeal for a moving locomotive, but activates the turbine
start-up (if in Diesel) or the Diesel start-up (if in turbine).
• The F6 button produces the Doppler shift for a moving locomotive, but activates air release
when in neutral.
