RAILKING
Event 4 (Neutral Before Forward)
The operator now interrupts the
transformer throttle again to enter the next reverse unit phase; neutral before
reverse. PFA confirms to the operator that it has entered the neutral before
forward phase by emmitting two quick air release sounds. This is followed
by a public address message that the train on
track 1 or 2 (whichever track number the
arriving public address message stated) is
now boarding. Upon completion of the PA
message, conductor voice highlights,
“tickets please”, randomly begin playing.
In addition to the conductor highlights, the
station ambient sounds from before continue
to play.
Event 5. (Forward)
The operator now interrupts the transformer
throttle again to enter the next reverse unit phase; forward. PFA confirms
to the operator that it has entered the forward phase by playing a conductor
voice yelling “All Aboard!” Immediately after playing “all aboard”, the
sound of a horse whinning is heard. Within two seconds of the horse
whinning, the locomotive bell begins chiming and the air compressor
pumps start. Depending on the direction the engine arrived in the station in,
two or three whistle blasts will sound next (two if the engine arrived in
forward and three if it arrived in reverse).
After approximately 7 chimes of the bell and
the two or three blasts of the whistle, the
engine automatically begins moving out in
the forward phase with the bell continuing to
ring another 7 chimes before automatically
turning off. Once the bell turns off the
operator regains control of the transformer
whistle and bell buttons and can ring the bell
or blow the whistle as usual.
Note:
When entering the forward phase of PFA, it is important to set the transformer
throttle at a high enough setting that will allow the engine to begin moving once PFA
automatically activates the motors. Otherwise, the engine will just sit still until you increase
the throttle setting on the transformer.
