I assembled a mixed train of 50 cars to run on the Pokey, pulled by 2 sd402's, and a gp40.. Around milepost 405 crossing a bridge my air dumps. I reset but the air goes up to between 40 and 60 psi then dumps again. Uncoupling the locos allowed the air to reset, then I tried to recouple but the gp40 would not couple to the lead car. I use Bin. All the rolling stock came in the megapack.

I'm pretty sure that's due to the incorrect .SD files on the GP40's. If the .SD's bounding box data reads as follows:
( -1.522939 0.044561 -9.047199 1.522939 4.710135 9.024171 )
Change it to this:
( -1.522939 0.044561 -8.8 1.614790 4.710135 8.8 )
Should clear up the issue. Alternately, I believe the locomotive-only package that I released a while back corrected this issue as well (and added the latest shape files).

My sd files were fine. I even raised all the bounding box minimums with RoutRriter. I didn't even make it to the bridge when my air dumped. So I went into the setup in the sim. If I find the idiot who turned the alerter on I will kick my self in the behind. Thanks Kurt for your help. The older I get the worser I get.

No problem - but was the problem ultimately resolved? If not, there's still something wrong that must be rectified. Let me know.

I completed my run on the Pokey with no problems. I had replaced all the KLW cars in my consist with 42 KLW coal cars ( one car 42 times). I will rebuild the consist as the original mixed freight and run it again, but I expect no problems since bin cntrl 9 showed all the bounding boxes ok when the problem started. At least to me they looked ok.

Was the car immidiately behind the GP40 one of the NS Megapack cars? I wouldn't be surprised if one of those gave trouble.

We may never know because I had RR correct all the bounding boxes. But yes every car on the original consist were from the NS Megapack.

Well, at least it solved it with no issues. Glad to hear you're up and rolling now.
