When a wheel bearing overheats it causes the brakeman’s nightmare known as a
“hot box”. These new cars allow you to recreate this red hot situation.
The scenario begins with an irregular sound and a whiff of smoke. Crew dialog
keeps you on top of the situation with reports such as “Something’s
burning!” and “We’ve got a blazer!” Smoke, lights and screeching
intensify until you, the engineer, initiate an emergency stop to let your crew
“Cool that spindle.”
