@JG2703 The limit for a train with a single engine is 6 cars, though any train with more than 5 is really sapping HEP power and would use 2 engines.

@dahood07 Yes, I think so. I've got to ride it again soon. They want to abandon it. It was the mainline to the mainland at one time. People took the LIRR to Greenport and sailed to Newport RI then caught a train to Boston. Untill they Bridged Ct.

That is usually the highest number of cars the branch sees, but it's not limited to 2 cars.

The engineer would alert the crew not to open the doors. They can then move the train in reverse until they reach the platform.
