I have run over a switch the wrong way and the TCS emergency brake has applied.
I have reviewed all of the manuals and I cannot find any information on how to reset it?

Any assistance?

I agree, there -needs- to be a way to reset the TCS E-brake. Having a permanent-Emergency Brake application is BS nicely put. I submitted that as a bug before, but was told it's an intentional feature...So I dunno if we'll see anything of it.

Guys, enlighten me. I thought whenever the emergency brake was applied, switch to manual (you're stopped anyway) and reset - then back to auto if needs be.
Are you asking for a way to reset without going to manual or is this something else altogether?

Hi Folks,

Used to happen to me all the time until I realized what Gerry stated - switch to manual mode - do whatever you need to do - switching cars - grab you train - get back on your path - switch back to auto mode - and - continue on your way... No harm - no foul...

Regards,
Scott

I was in manual mode.
But you have to select manual mode again after the TCS emergency brake application.

Thanks guys.

You must hit the alerter button after the train has stopped to acknowledge.
