As per a friend, CSX 4403 arrived at browns last night. I've also heard that 5285s cab signals are broken again but I'm not sure. Can anyone confirm this?

Don’t expect to see 4403 on the Southern; last I checked it wasn’t equipped with cab signals.

sorry in advance, I'm sure there's a better forum to ask this question. What exactly are cab signals and what is their purpose ??

Cab Signals pick up an electric current through the rails and relay block conditions to a device inside the cab. When the signal drops to a less favorable aspect an audible alarm goes off in the cab and needs to be acknowledged, if not the train will be placed in a penalty brake application and brought to a stop. Generally cab signal systems allow a faster maximum speed and can be used to remove fixed automatic wayside signals.

Anywhere after 5/5:30. I'll post when there through Tinton falls to help judge when you should get there 👍
