How to keep a constant speed

[Charlie B]

Reinhart, On all the locomotives I ran I never paid any attention to the "notch" I was in. You feel the throttle on the train the same as you would a car, if you need more speed, more throttle. Sometimes you are coasting, because when you close the throttle the traction motors disengage. The new locomotives are computer controled (never run one). Maybe someone with experience on one of them will post.
