    My next question: Braking with double traction

    Dear railway friends!

    In an activity that I am currently building, two coupled locomotives drive to a turning point at the beginning and then they have to reverse to pick up a parked train.

    The problem I have here is that when I reach the turning point and bring the two locomotives to a stop, the brakes can no longer be released. The F5 window then shows an emergency stop, even though I did not perform one. The problem persists even when I change the driver's cab. See the two screenshots.

    Can anyone tell me what is going on here and how I can solve this problem?

    Thank you in advance for your answers.​​

    Train went off the intended path during coupling, use Ctrl + M to go to manual mode and release the brakes, then move back on path. Sometimes you just need to hit Ctrl + M twice for the dispatcher to figure out where you are.

      Thank You for Your advice. The problem became solved otherwise. The reason for the malfunction was the position of the turning point. Because it was between two switches, it seems, that this caused this problem, moving the turning point behind the one switch and now it works fine.
