@slipknotmaggott666 ahhh... ours just said "Trouble" beep blorp

[slipknotmaggott666]

@fyadcorp Ride Trouble Light

pretty much the system saying there was a fault either in programming or sensors and it stops the trains in the nearest blocks and holds dispatch

@slipknotmaggott666 What's RTL stand for?

[slipknotmaggott666]

@fyadcorp for sure

i still think the RTL is my favorite light to see flashing haha

[fyadcorp]

@slipknotmaggott666 Others do, it just depends on how the park has the control system programmed. I can only speak from experience working at the Georgia park, there they pretty much all flashed like that during a startup (because most control panels did not have lamp test buttons).

@fyadcorp there is a lamp test button yah but when operating in run mode after powering up ive only seen B&M's have flshing panels like this

[fyadcorp]

@slipknotmaggott666 A lot of coasters do that when you start them up. It's a lamp test so the operators can see if any of the bulbs are out.
