There is an alerter if u go to 3:37 u can kind of see a big box on the top right second to last button that’s what you want to press to activate the alerter on the ES44AC
When the electric train is going downhill, it brakes by its engine. The engine then works as generator and returns the energy back to the train electrical network.@@Thezentime
The graphics on this game are amazing, for gaming PC at least. I can almost smell the locomotive and the funk from the bathroom below the conductors desk.
Pretty accurate to the real thing, i run this route in IRL all the time. That track runs east to west though and has a bunch of derailed cars a couple miles west of the curve at the moment lol
The scenery here is STUNNING! Hoping for the Dovetail expands more on steam trains, I'd love a Reading & Northern DLC... Maybe I could drive my favorite train R&N 425 with her multitude of whistle combinations. Really gives me hope they can nail the scenery of a theoretical R&N DLC
Growing up 13 blocks away from the Juniata Shops (pronounced June-e-atta), I hope the creators patch the expressway area by the train station. The road is one way traffic headed west. Also hope they finish up the Altoona yard and correct the Railroaders Museum. The yard is missing the transfer table at the tank car shop and the locomotive shop needs the turntable.
Great review Blu Games... you always play the more complicated games... When I 1st saw this game I loved it. Watched a lot of videos for about 3 to 4 months and then bought it..Glad I did. Salute Bro Peaceeeeee
I was a Trainmaster on this route for a few years. The route is fairly accurate however the PRR position light signals were replaced with color light signals around 2018. They’ve also included the locomotive cab signals but they don’t seem to function. It be nice if they included the line through Pittsburgh to the Conway Hump Yard
I would love it if you could contact dovetail games and share your knowledge about this route and american frieght in general! Its a uk based company and they need more feedback from people who work on these routes! Thanks for warching
Love your channel. Ive been around trains most of my lifetime living here in Ohio. This one is beautiful although I think it starts off a little too fast. Like you, I'm a huge fan of paying attention to detail visuals and sound. I'm not sure if it's due to this is a lighter train but it looks like it starts off from a standstill a little too fast. Also I would like to see it simulate taking up slack, and when slowing down the cars should slack in. Making that banging sound. But all-in-all I love this Sim.
Horseshoe Curve is a great place to photography, I have taken many many photos at the Curve on the western slope side of the Curve. NS ES44AC locomotives looking good. Those rocks on the side of the mountain where the crossing gate didn't work is at Mile Run just outside of Altoona, Pa.
You really have sold me on that rail driver. I currently play on ps4 but I'm migrating to PC for tsw3. Seeing you be able to slightly tweak the dynamic brake with the rail driver allows you to keep view outside still. On console playing with dynamic brake means missing out on view.
@@BluGames yeah. I'm glad they are least put some things like sand on a button that I can hold while looking outside. But yeah it also looks like camera operation is a lot better for setting up screenshots on PC and also having that controller while your outside you can look down and see speed and move main controls while still setting up camera with mouse.
Been out of the TSW2-loop for a while, so this route came as a big surprise to me. Looks neat. Been waiting to see a route with modern engines. Thank yo for showing it! :)
@@BluGames I am referencing the very first crossing you made. Sorry, I've not watched the entire video, and in hindsight, I do realize that it's probably extremely annoying to be told off for stuff you've done right anyway. Sorry about that.
My friend you need to set a notch and feather the independent break when flood loading up a grade. Ideally you want to flood load down the grade and just feather the independent brake handle with the possibility of tying hand brakes on some of the head end cars. That’s how we do it in coal country.
those three yellow lights on the signals represent a bar like a railroad crossing there is a bar blocking the road when it is horizontal that means stop ... vertical means go and on an angle is slow ... basically just like red, yellow and green signal lights, i think the reason back in those days when it was new is yellow sometimes looks like green from far away in certain light conditions so they went with a rotating signal that shows a line ... i dunno 4 sure
Fun fact: Norfolk Southern has their own Police force, one I kno of drives a dodge Durango, they WILL pull u over and apparently will not hesitate to write 4 tickets if need be....
Please reply. You said last comment that on pc there is longer trains. I did sand patch and counted the cars 40 I went on ps4 and contested the cars on the same train. 40, I don’t wanna waste money so if I bought Sherman hill on pc would they be longer?
Hold independent brake. Release automatic brake. slowly apply forward power 1 notch at a time while releasing independent brake while apply sand until you get forward grip. And be patient.
We need American steam. Period And Moffatt tunnel Anywhere in Florida possibly a FEC 13 mile bridge, The Texas panhandle New Orleans-Houston so you could run All class ones, Locos 844 for cheyanne 3571 for cajon pass Allegheny for sand patch Northern for horseshoe El Capitan for cajon Amtrak for all US routes it runs on uS steam and no more euro crap.
I know I have been commenting a bunch but I need help. To see if there is longer trains I went on my pc and sand patch. I counted 40 cars. I went on ps4 same train and I counted 40 cars. You said it was supposed to be longer on pc, is this normal? So should I get Sherman hill on pc?
This video made me jealous man. Rn I can't get the routes you have to pay for. Plus the London Tube route is acting kinda broken for me and I don't know how to drive the red German train so I'm suck at sand patch just switching cars which gets real boring real quick.
Are you running on steam or DVD. Because I have steam but I want to use my raildriver and couldn't last time I tried to play TS. If you are on steam maybe I'll by this route unless it comes with TSW3
Can you get this map or senerios on train sim 3? I never knew this game existed and I want to buy it and I'm only really interested in the freight scenarios. I actually run a 38-2 as a yard loco for my full time job.
Hi, I have a doubt. Do these TSW 2 routes have the same lighting and dynamic weather in TSW3? What about the bugs. There were some audio bugs in this DLC like the rear engine have no or idling sound while working as DPU. Are these bugs still there or fixed!?
