I presume this the right forum to ask the question.   I have two, brand-new Susie Q SD70-M's, fresh out of the box.  Models 2533201/road 4060 and  2533202/road 4062

I am attaching a video.   For road 4060, In single engine mode, after I shut the engine down in Cab 3, 90 seconds later ( I timed it) it it starts making what sound like start up rail sound noises.  At the two minute mark for these noises, you hear what sounds like an alarm bell, and then the engine starts up by itself.  If I shut it down in single engine mode, the same thing cycles again, 90 seconds later.

The twin, road 4062, does not show this behavior at all, in single engine mode.  In a lash-up configuration with both of these engines,  road 4060 remains quiet after shut-down, as you would expect.

I have never seen this, before, with any of my locos.  Is this some programming option on Cab 3.  Can anyone advise how to correct/turn this off?  I do believe I wiped the engine clean from Base 3, and started over. But I still have the same issue with self-starting.
