Stalled Train

[praynes]

I need help. In one of my activities, I have a consist of open hopper cars filled with coal. As I approach a power plant, I apply the brakes and stop the train and disconnect the caboose. Now I reapply the throttle and, nothing happens. Both train brakes and locomotive brakes are released so there is nothing to prevent the train from moving. What am I doing wrong?

Hmm...it's a little hard to determine without some further information, but if I was to guess, it likely had to do with one of the following:
- The angle cocks weren't set properly.
- The brakes are released, but the brake pipe hasn't charged for long enough...essentially, the brakes aren't fully released, even if the HUD interface says they are.

Once you drop off the caboose, you have to reconnect the train brake hose. Then recharge the brakes.

Or use the shortcut keys ( a cheat to some ) <Shift> plus </> which will initialize brakes and should then release them.
