Since you're using TMCC, the red triangular HALT button on the Cab-1 will stop every train right now. I've only had to use it twice in 20 years of operating sessions, but it worked well both times (6 or 7 locomotives in motion all stopped immediately). I always have a Cab-1 in my pocket "just in case."

Bob,

Yes, I have used the CAB-1's HALT button as well. But I have also had a locomotive fail to obey it (probably a problem with that particular remote's button contacts). In the moment, I grabbed the locomotive (it was moving slowly). Being a "belt and suspenders" type of guy, this is the suspender portion of the equation. It also gives new operators another option.

I readily admit this approach is a nod to my paranoia. crazy Or as Jimmy Buffet said "if we weren't crazy we'd all go insane."
