Break ( 5.1e7N 5.1e7N )Might be that they had 1.1e7N.Dick van den Hoven Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

damping 1e6N/m 1e6N/m

Nov-27-01, 00:29 AM (EST) 5. "RE: Glacier Park Excursion" Just so we understand the math, 10.1e7 is really 1.1e8.
One trick that sometimes works is to run a pilot AI train through just ahead of you on the same path. Don't let oposing traffic come by again before you arrive at the problem switch. The problem appears to be some of these switches were deployed wrong such that they don't close properly. The AI train seems to get them closed.
