- Banking comm radio only needs to be turned on in lead cab.
- The radio is above the windscreen in the AC4400CW or above the brake control stand in the GP38 and SD40.
- Turn banking comm on before moving reverser. If you don't, the trail locos will not move from neutral. To fix if you mucked it up, switch reverser to neutral (after the radio is on) and reset to the correct position.
