First we need to enter the locomotive, open the door next to the cabin.



Click again and enter the locomotive.

Go to the center of the train and search for a door like the cabin door with a porthole, click on it and enable the battery.



Now click again on the door and unlock the ground relay.

Now enter the cabin, click on the door at the front/end of the EN57 and press "Enter the cabin".



Let in some fresh air and push the window down a bit, move your cursor over the window and drag it down.
If the window is fully open you can stick your head out of it, to get your head back into the cabin just look from outside through the window inside the cabin and click again to get your head back inside the cabin.




Click on the seat and sit down.

Activate the cabin (be prepared for ALARM SOUND).



Press the vigilance button.



Flip the radio power switch on the panel.



Press the radio power switch on the radio.



Raise the rear pantograph.



Move the direction controller into neutral or 0 position.




Flip the main switch.



Flip the converter switch.



Flip the compressor switch.



Move the service brake into the highest position (releasing ep) and let it go back (to driving ep position).




Set the direction controller into forward | (1) or forward || (2) position.
For driving backward move it into back (WYL) position (be prepared for ALARM SOUND).




Click on the handbreak an release it.



Wait until the noise of the compressor stopped and then hold the service brake in the highest position until on the outer left pressure indicator the needle has fallen to 0, now all brake preassure has been released.






Move the Drive handle into the first position and off you go.




When you move the service brake into the next lower position it is in (from driving ep into braking ep) your applying brake force, the longer the service brake is in that position the more braking force are you applying, so be gentle with it.




To open & close the doors you flip the outer switches of the panel section next to the vigilance button, before you are closing the doors notice that its recommended to sound the warning buzzer between the dor switches for at least 2 seconds.
