Lower the panto!

However, if there really is neutral section of track,the dispatcher will not be able to route a electric train that way.

For now, I think we have to imagine, that it is there and reduce throttle to zero while passing.

There was a simulation of neutral sections on the WCML over Shap where it tripped the Loco if you didn't run the power down before crossing it. The Class 86 that would simulate this was supplied with the route. I believe the OP was referring to simulating this with the mail train.
For disclosure, I am affiliated with a third party developer however, I do not know anything about any future releases unless I'm working on them and even then, I'd be breaking years worth of built up trust to say anything about it ;-)

Doesn't APs 319/325 sound pack add this functionality to the 319/325?
