Stops and resets the locomotive. Resets the locomotive’s direction to forward.
Your locomotive keeps track of its coal and water levels. Higher engine speeds and/or heavy
labor will use fuel at a faster rate. Like a prototypical steam locomotive, water is consumed
at a faster rate than coal.
To add both coal and water, perform a "long reset." Press and hold
AUX1, 0

three seconds. You will hear the sounds of coal pouring into the tender as long as you hold
the button. When you release the button, the sounds will stop and the engineer will confirm
that the tank is full.

tower into the tender, which also "refills" the virtual water level in the tender and plays a
confirming radio dialog.
Water injector/water tower sounds.
