Locking Locomotive Into A Direction

You can lock your engine into a direction (forward, neutral, or reverse) so that it
will not change directions. To do this, put the engine into the direction you want
(or into neutral to lock it into neutral), run it at a very slow crawl (as slowly as it will
move without halting), and quickly but firmly tap the Horn button once followed
by three quick taps of the Bell button, allowing approximately ½ second to lapse
between each quick button press. Two horn blasts will indicate that the engine has
made the change. The engine will not change direction (including going into
neutral) until you repeat the 1 horn, 3 bells code to return the engine to its normal
condition, even if the engine is kept without power for extended periods of time.

made the change.
