Thanks Santa Fe
It is nice to see companies look out for employees and not just their profits.
i think if you look at the people to size ratio our locos are puny compared to yours
That's primarily because the locomotives here are pulling 10,000+ ton trains several thousand miles, and need to have the grunt to perform this on a daily basis.It is nice to see companies look out for employees and not just their profits.

Our light rail transit isn't that big. Here's the Expo Line from Los Angeles

Karl, I'll see your 3 waiting lists and raise you 5 that I am on: Baltimore County, Johns Hopkins Hospital (since I had my cancer surgery there), my employer (they get doses since they're part of the Defense Industrial Base), my primary care doctor's [corporate] practice, and St. Agnes Hospital (as a former patient). They keep sending me "update" emails which don't tell me anything different from their original message: "You are in the eligible group (1-C), but currently, demand greatly exceeds supply; we'll let you know as soon as we have doses available!" Yeah...uh-huh.... . .
Me, I'm still on 3 waiting lists for the 1st shot. At 60, I've survived a stroke, am diabetic, and 5 years older than her and work 10-12 hour days with the public. Sometimes I think life aint fair, but I'd rather have her get the shot than me.
Greg, Justin's layout is DC. . .
Chessie-system3: Sounds like you and I have the same problems with DCC decoders. Try re-programming the loco's address and see if that corrects the problem.

The ones I showed are commuter rail going from town to town for passengersI think you are comparing apples to oranges. I think jaz was showing "commuter rail" which is a heavier passenger rail system bringing people in from further outlying areas into the city.
Here in SLC (Salt Lake City) we have both "light rail" which is similar to what is shown for LA and we also have "commuter rail", which runs on full size normal tracks (generally separate from the UP tracks for freight, but running parallel, but in some places they share trackage rights). While US style, it is more like what jaz showed (and what I see in places like Japan etc).

It's also nice to see the municipality moved the cars over to the left to allow more of a safety margin for pedestrians.It is nice to see companies look out for employees and not just their profits.
James, it's a NCE DA-SR decoder and I'm using a Digitrax 402 throttle with a DB150.
Thanks for any help you can provide me.
Greg
Greg do you have JMRI?
NCE DA-SR decoder being a 5 function decoder should no be an issue with programing the lights that way. I am checking with Tony Trains Xchange he has a lot info for this decoder....I will get back to you.
