and whistling for a taxi.  Additionally, several conductor highlights will be
heard in the foreground.

Event 2: 

 Interrupt the transformer throttle

again to cycle the engine from neutral into
reverse.  In order to have the engine leave
the yard in the same direction it entered
Proto-Sound® disables the motors in this
reverse state to prevent the engine from
running backwards.  PFA confirms reverse is 
entered by playing the conductor saying
“Baggage to the right/left.”  Once this
highlight is played, the Passenger Station sounds heard in Event 1 will
continue to play.

Event  3: 

 Interrupt the transformer throttle

again to cycle the engine from reverse back
to neutral.  PFA confirms that the engine is
now in neutral by sounding two quick air
releases.  This is followed approximately two 
seconds later by a Boarding Announcement
message and continued Passenger Station
sounds.  Conductor highlights, such as
“Welcome aboard” and “Tickets please” will play randomly.

Event  4:

 Interrupt the transformer throttle again to complete the PFA

feature and cycle the engine into forward.  PFA confirms it has entered
forward by playing the conductor’s call “All Aboard!” and the sound of the
passenger car door closing.  Within two seconds, the whistle will sound two 
short blasts (three if entering reverse), and
the bell will begin to chime.  After a few
chimes of the bell, the engine will begin
moving in forward with the bell continuing 
to ring.  A few seconds later, the bell will
turn off, and the engine will resume normal 
operation.  

Note: When entering Event 4,

it is important to set the transformer
throttle at a high enough setting that the
engine will begin to move when the
motors are activated.  However, the throttle should not be too high for the
engine to maintain a safe operating speed.
