The caps are charged whenever there is voltage on the output side of the rectifiers in the locomotive electronics. However, there's always going to be voltage there until the caps are discharged. I thinking on how to keep the charging circuit inactive when the caps are supplying the power, kinda silly to try to charge them from their charge.
