      In MSTS BIN you were able to run trains with both pantographs. Can you do that in Open Rails? If not that is one of the reasons why people stick to MSTS BIN.

        For me that would be concern 9379. I very rarely run passenger trains, even then it is likely to have a diesel electric on it, and when I do run an electric freight, I never felt limited by only having one pantograph up??? If BIN works to your satisfaction, then nobody is asking you to change! I don't even know the answer to your question, maybe Open Rails can do that, but if so, it is a feature I will never use?

          I have no interest, but if I did I would RTFM
          "P" key moves Pantograph 1 and Shift + P moves Pantograph 2

            What a curious question.

            I run the MILW electrified routes and use the electric locos available from the library and, as someone has responded, 'P' and 'Shift+P' gives feed from one or two pantographs, although graphically there may be no change.
            That is, the keystrokes don't move (immobile) graphics up and down but do the power-switching.

            Still an odd query, though.
