I have been playing activities involving yard switching.
Til’ now, I have been manually checking each car individually for its air hose connection plus handbrake and angle cocks’ status. On a long manifest these checks are tedious and take a lot of time.
I just became aware of ORTS keystrokes that connect ALL the air hoses at once (backlash key) and release ALL the handbrakes at once ( shift + ; keys).
Question:
When I use the backlash key, can I assume that all the angle cocks are opened to pass the compressed air except the angle cock at end of the last car?
