The speed is what controls whether or not the engine goes through transition. Usually they are set at about 24-26 mph for the engine to transition. The reason they are set in that range is so a consist doesn't transition all at the same time. Bad for the engines and bad for the train if you're on a grade and all transition at the same time. :*(
