🛠️ Unique Operational Challenges
The defining feature of the ALP-45DP is the challenge of managing the seamless Mode Changeover:
- Power Changeover: Players must execute the correct procedure to switch from diesel power to electric power (and vice versa) at specific points on the route, which is crucial for services running from non-electrified suburbs into the electrified Hoboken and New York terminals.
- Service Integration: The add-on enables operation of additional push/pull commuter services and limited-stop express runs on the Morristown Line.
- Extended Use: The dual-mode capability allows for use on other compatible electrified routes, such as the NEC: New York – Trenton route add-on, in the Scenario Planner.
- Immersive Features: The locomotive includes realistic onboard features like passenger announcements and operational safety systems (ACSES and ATC).
