Happy New Year Everyone

I am running an activity on the ADFRRV4 Route named "Klosen Local." The activity is using all rolling stock the activity calls for, there have been no changes to anything. The activity consist has 4 SW7's for power and approximately 20 cars picked up at initial yard. After traveling about 15 miles, the locos suddenly loose power and eventually stop. The Locomotive info shows the locos losing power but does not show a brake reduction taking place. There are no event locators telling me the activity was not completed successfully. I have checked the engine file and there doesn't appear to be any problem. Any Help is greatly appreciated.

Attached File(s)

Hey everyone, I think I found the problem. It appears I had a broken path in the activity. It has been corrected.
Will let you know if problem still exista.

Problem still exists but found that when the loss of power occurs, all hanmdbrakes are applied on all cars.

Any suggestions?

I found the problem for the activity. The locos start out with only 11 gals of fuel per loco. The briefing states the locos need at least 50 gals per loco to run activity. I was actually running out of fuel. What a DUMMY I am. No wonder I don't drive a car. Thanks for the help guys.
