When I press the shut down button or (5 for TMCC or Cab 1 L users) there is 3 different dialogs for Shut down. I was running with OGaugedreamer yesterday and he wants to know what "going to beads" or "beans" means? I have the same question. Maybe Rich knows because it sounds like he was the Engineer (You can deny it Rich
)
Thanks

Going to get breakfast/lunch/dinner, depending on the time of day.

I would say "going to beans" is saying going to supper, lunch, or breakfast depending what time of the day it is.
Rusty beat me for the post ��
"Going for beads" does raise questions, possibly not suitable for discussion here...
Or - and those from my region will understand - it could mean that they are headed for a Mardi Gras parade.
Throw me sumpthin' mister!
I never knew what that meant either. "Going to beans" like getting something to eat does make sence. Maybe Rich will chime in on this one.
Mine clearly says "going to beans!" Chow time or going home for dinner. Have it on several locomotives.
Its old school railroad terminology for lunch time. We even have a "bean law" and "double beans" penalty claims working in the yard. We have to go to lunch before certain times per union yard agreements. The train master says..."have you been to beans yet?"... the foreman says, "nope, we got double beans". Single beans is 20 minutes at time and a half and double beans is 40 minutes time and a half for not taking lunch within the specified time period for an 8 hour shift.
Speaking of which, its time for beans.
Thanks guys! I got a back from Repair... 3 MONTHS LATER!!!! Smokes great now

I forgot that one. I've been considering selling my B&A 0-8-0. I'm going to take it out & fire it up.
