The SIFA alarm is a dead man's switch that the engineer must press periodically to ensure that the driver is awake. If the switch is not pressed the train applies the brakes.

In the BR442 the SIFA alarm switch is located at the engineer's feet. To get this achievement look down at your feet while driving, locate the switch and mash the A button. You don't have to wait until you hear an alarm. I did this between stops and completed it in under one run. Although I wasn't counting, it seemed like the achievement popped long before I got to 500.

Edit: Dynamite Andy pointed out that you can just mash the B button. There's no need to look at the switch as I suggested.

lol, now it was turned off and after a few smashes on the B button I got the achievement. But now I don't know if the other one counted??? Because, then I had like 40 to 60 sifa alarms in those 7 services i did (a service had 40 to 60) so 7x50=350, when I played with the sifa alarm on. And when it was turned on, I also smashed the B button, but I gues when you turn it on, and play it real life, it wont work? Or it does work?. So as you said dont turn it on, just smash B

Awesome guide, thanks for this!
I had been waiting for the alarm to sound before acknowledging, good to know I didn't have to - unlocked when I was just mashing the B button during a service.

I didn't realize you could just mash B, so thanks for that!

Do you need to turn on the SIFA? Do you need to change it from Isolated to Unisolated?

By ComesBrothers on 16 Oct 2018 01:07

You don't need to make any changes. Just mash buttons.

By Fried Karma on 16 Oct 2018 08:57

Okay thanks man, I didnt understand it. I always turned the sifa alarm from isolated to unisolated, cause I thought it has to be on. I played now like 7 services and nothing happened, because I have turned it on I guess.

I still can't get this

so annoying!

I am pretty sure that this achievement is unobtainable for some people for some reason. I have tried all possible scenarios, with SIFA on and with SIFA off, pressing just before, at and just after the alarm, before and after the audible alarm, looking down and pressing A, and just mashing B. My estimate is that I have acknowledged well and truly over 2,000 alarms. I have reported this to Dovetail a few times, and their only answer is that they are unable to track the number of alarms acknowledged and that perhaps the action is not working as expected.

I am simply giving up on this one and assuming it is yet another unobtainable achievement (at least for me) that will likely never get repaired.

I can’t get the achievement to unlock i done 3 service and still no achievement , any hint how to get it to pop

By bvt2002 on 20 Jan 2019 04:44

Still broken. I've done easily 2,000 or more mashing the B and even tried looking at the pedal and mashing A .. all to no avail.

Right so this one is very hit and miss.

Its been posted before that creating a new ingame account sorts this, but even that didnt properly work.

You need to start up the 0541 service, and set SIFA to EIN.

You then need to drive at roughly 27mph and looking down at your feet spam the x (A on Xbox) button. This will NOT pop at 500 alarms, its more like 4000. So keep at it and it will eventually unlock. Ive been trying for 3 days to get this, and after making a new profile it unlocked after 4000 ish presses. Regional Rider is also glitched, that has not unlocked and ive rode roughly 60 miles as passenger now.

I was concerned about this one looking at the comments, but got it first time. Combination of A+B mashing.

By USS Prometheus on 20 Oct 2019 16:16

I got this naturally after doing a few services (playing with PZB and SIFA enabled). I had a USB keyboard connected to the Xbox and pressed Q to acknowledge SIFA (it shows a notification this way) every so often or when the alarm sounds. On controller, the B button combines PZB and SIFA, which I don't like.

I just fired up a random service in the BR1442-6 Talent 2. Didn’t even start the train going, just mashed b on the sifa pedal and it popped in a few minutes
