I tested your activity pack,they don't work for me,it's like the knuckle on the NS bathtubs or the knuckle on the NS SD70ACU is damaged or something,the 3rd scenario after waiting for train,once clear, I start to pull and locomotives get seperated from train and goes into Emergency. So I am not exactly sure what the issue is,and I am sure the other 2 scenarios would be likely the same issue. Thanks Kindly,any fix for this?

Imo, I think it's more to do with the rolling stock physics than the activity itself. I haven't had any issues with the NS units in other scenarios where they separated from the train. I'm about to install the scenario now and will report my findings.

I had no issues running the 3rd scenario. Make sure that you've installed the coal car patch and that the isolation switch in each unit is set to run.

What coal car patch are you referring to?

Go to the route download and look at the required files

that coal car patch shouldn't be necessary, I didn't use any of the hoppers that came with PennCoal and used Matt J's hoppers instead. If you're having knuckle break issues it's probably these hoppers having issues https://www.trainsimcommunity.com/mods/c1-train-sim-classic/c10-reskins/c25-north-american/c28-rolling-stock/i4316-conrail-norfolk-southern-bethgons though it all seems to work for me.

Hmm. I haven't had any issues with the coal hoppers...
