Have two questions to ask

The first question is about the headlight of the leading locomotive. I noticed the headlight changed to dim from bright ( #1 bright and #2 dim on F4 HUD ) in simulating the scenario on the route of Sherman Hill. Is there a way for me to keep this headlight to stay on with #1 bright all the time unless the train meet to change to dim from bright? Or not possible with the program of RailWorks. The second thing is that while simulating the scenario on the route of Sherman Hill with the speed limit of 30 or more MPH. I noticed that with the player train is running with 45 MPH all along then all of sudden the speed limit drop down to 15 MPH. Why is that happen with this speed limit change for no reasons as I did not touch anything on my desktop keyboard while view in F4 HUD. That happened to me few times all along the route of Sherman Hill. How can I prevent the train from dropping the speed limit? I am sure that someone here in the forums can give me better ideas about those two things.
Thank you,
John

Surprised to see that no one come forward to help solve this problem. Guess that I have to live with this while simulating in TS2016 with every few minutes with the speed drop down to 15 mph from whatever the speed I run also the locomotive headlight changed to dim from bright by itself.

Since you didn't tell anyone what scenario you were running, what locomotive you were driving or where on the route this occurred it is kind of hard to help you out. Perhaps that is why no one responded.

1- The headlight setting is not supposed to change by itself. If you really did not touch any control, then there may be a bug in the engine script.
2- You mention "speed limit" but I think you really mean "speed". There are many things that can change the locomotive speed. For example, a change in grade, etc.
Another possibility is random input from an input device such as joystick, steering wheel, pedals, etc.

Buzz -- Sorry that I did not tell you what is the name of the route and scenario? The route is Cajon Pass and the scenario is 120 Twin Stacks Up the hill. I got this scenario from the workshop in community through Steam. I am not sure what is exactly the problem with this scenario as the train speed drop or the headlight change from bright to dim quite often. The engine is BNSF ES44AC. I will try with different scenario for this route to see if the problem is still there or not.
Chacal -- No I did not touch any control and if the engine script is bug. Any idea what to look for the line then correct and save in NotePad? I do have the RailDriver but sometime I don't use this. With this route and scenario I use the keyboard to simulate the route with this scenario. I know it's strange to see this happen because I did not have any problem before till recently.
Hope that this will be solved with this problem and if not then don't worry about this. I will swap the leading locomotive in player train.
Thank you again,
John
