First Look Amtrak SW1000R Introduction : Northeast Corridor New York : Train Sim World 

"Do not apply too much power too quickly" Slams it to notch 8 for lols

Finally I'm ready 4 a proper switch engine. It runs great and I love the look

Things wrong with this locomotive or the tutorial I’ve noticed in order I notice them... 1: main res spitter valve spitting with no air in air system. 2: Gen field switch up before starting, gen field should be off until your ready to move locomotive for safety purposes (prevents accidental loading and movement) 3: you do not need to reset the PCS switch before starting the locomotive. You can start it first and recover PCS after. 4: to reset the PCS from emergency, you need to keep the auto brake handle in emergency for at least 60 seconds or PCS won’t reset 5:you need to hold the start switch in fuel prime for roughly about 20-30 seconds to prime fuel system prior to engine crank, otherwise it will take a long while to start the engine. 6: your cranking over a large Diesel engine, it’s going to take some power. (IE you should see the battery amp gauge dip into the red during cranking) 7: after priming, and you have turned the start switch to crank, you will immediately hear the engine crank over, and you have to hold the switch until the engine starts. (I was going to make this a second point, but I might as well say it here, after the engine starts, you should still hear the fuel pump running, it doesn’t shut off until the engine shuts down) 8: pro tip, if they modelled it correctly, the air system should charge faster at higher throttle notches, with notch 5 generally being peak air output. Assuming your engine is warmed up, you can rev up the engine by leaving the reverser centered, and selecting the desired throttle notch on the throttle controller. 9:you do not have to wait until the air system is charged to apply the independent brake. Independent should be left fully applied and automatic brake in the released position during air system charge. 9: pro tip; select your direction and set at least notch 1 of throttle and allow the locomotive amps to rise before releasing brakes. This will prevent the train from rolling backwards when the brakes come off. (Be aware, if automatic brake is applied, it may take some time for the brakes on the train cars to release. Don’t go to overboard on the throttle right away) 10: I’m not sure of Amtrak rules, but on my railway we are required to ring the bell prior to moving (and shut it off once we have started rolling) and at all times when operating near other crews, or in an area with blind spots. 11: “coasting is a good tactic on level grades to maintain speed and reduce engine stress and maintenance requirements”.... coasting is done when you have achieved track speed and notch 1 is still causing you to gain speed. If your train is heavy and notch 2 is maintaining track speed, don’t coast, just hold power. Also, the Diesel engine on the locomotive is specifically designed to operate a full throttle and load indefinitely if it is working properly. After maintenance, we “load box” the locomotive, which is essentially dyno testing the engine at full rated horsepower (notch 8) for an hour or longer. If it can’t hold up to the stress, it’s because it’s broken and needs to be fixed. 12: at 5 mph in a yard when switching, it’s far easier to just use the independent brake to stop. Heck, a lot of time air isn’t even hooked on the cars. Also keep in mind that every time you apply and release your automatic brake, you use air in your auxiliary reservoirs on the locomotive and cars. After a couple applications in quick succession your going to start to suffer from ineffective braking as a result, yet another reason to use the independent for this purpose, as it does not suffer from this effect. That’s everything I noticed.

I’ve been keeping track of all the dlc for this but the one thing that will be the icing on the cake is if they add the Acela on the NEC route.

Cool video, I think I will buy this locomotive

Love the sound of the engine noise

Finally I was waiting for a new Amtrak locomotive idk why but I though the genesis Loco will be a cool addition

Watching this while I wait for the dlc to install on my Xbox so I don't have to deal with this lol

Nice video bro

NOOO WAAAY... They added this too!!?!?!?!?!?!?!!

I was wondering if you will be doing the same type of video for the amtrak cab car as well?

Il buy this one. Hows the cab car?

👍❤️

Will this new add on be a keystone route and making stops up and down the line and the route exstends past Newark international airport to Harrisburg, Philly and New York back and forth? Plus the tracks open up to make the trains go further? @trainsimulatorgameplay

What's your PC configuration? Your game is working so smooth. I like it.

can you review the Amfleet Cab Car

この機関車が運転出来る時が来るとは(≧▽≦)✨ goodjobです❗👍

Leaving appart the game, how can you possibly use this locomotive to serve a passenger railway system in a developed country nowadays.

The much too rapid camera changes make you completely confused. :(

They should make that train sw2000 into a model train ho

Or lionel o guage

Vvv
