@@Hyce777 they are the jedi of the financial world best you get to paying them would want those fancy 'Flashlights' suddenly appeaaring where light shouldnt be appearing......... wait thats the IRS only they are evil enough to kill those who dont pay them XD
To Hyce, The ES&D Passenger Corporation is happy to announce that the derailment only killed half of the passengers on this train, a much smaller number than originally anticipated, and that the passengers who were killed or seriously injured will be dealt with accordingly.

Love your videos, so does my cat Mona. I put a train around my Christmas tree every year and the first year I had my cat she would meow at me to start the train and that is how I learned that she loves trains. But once Christmas was over I did not have space to keep my train out in my tiny apartment and it took me an hour to set up and take down. So when she wanted to play trains I tried train videos on RU-vid and she would watch. She likes your videos the best and she comes running when she hears your voice on the Television and she ignores mine. Just thought you would enjoy the story.
@@Johndoe-jd I asked because I’ve known to many volunteer firefighters in my life. And I know one that would be jealous of you cause he loves field fires
Imagine that your boss told you last minute that you need to be at the Food Factory at the crack of dawn. Of course you couldn't find a train ticket at this time of night. All you found was a ticket on this shady ES&D rail operator you have never heard of. You show up, it's cold, it's raining, it's miserable. Then as you are boarding the train you notice a bunch of dangerous looking chemical cars on the back. And then you look up what ES&D means. Do you risk it for the chocolate biscuit, or you tell your boss to find someone else?
Fun fact about acetylene: it's super unstable, even by flammable/splody boi standards. What's in the containers is likely small-ish acetylene cylinders, because it needs to be stored dissolved acetone in a porous medium at low (
1:38:30 (ish) - I think I saw the water plug when you rode into the platform right atafter the switch between B1LP and B2LP. EDIT: yeah, I checked the replay (1:34:14) 2:07:10 (ish) - the spicy rocks you mentioned is likely Calcium carbide (CaC2). if it gets in contact with water it generates ethyne (C2H2), which is also commonly known as - surprise - Acetylen EDIT 2: thank you wikipedia - as a non native english speaker with no knowledge of chemistry vocabulary at all it would be nearly impossible to write this ;-)
About the tunnels: I was once in a worktrain, on an open platform of a stone/gravel wagon pretty far from the engine. It was a sunny day so i had no headlight.The wagons lights and they also blocked the light from the engine. We came to a tunnel and I had newer been to a train tunnel before. All of a sudden complete darkness. I could only stand still, hold on the railing and think to myself: dont wave your arms as the walls are close. The damn tunnel was about 5 km (3 miles) long and at the speed of 40 km/h the complete darknes seemed to last forever. What an experience!
Water standpipe is at the beginning of the #2 passenger track (as you pulled in). You literally just needed to back up farther when you were backing the 3 passenger cars in and you'd have been right there...
@@ThomasJMnah theres just a general disclaimer that says that the ES&D is not responsible for any harm, damage, or death that occures while riding the ES&D or in the vicinity of one of the ES&D trains
Just a bit of advice for the future, Hyce. If you need to know the locations of important infrastructure, like standpipes and/or coaling spots for steamers, use the station maps! They show the layout of the yards, the locations of service spots, and where the shops to buy stuff are!
If you spill any kind of flammable materials from hazmat cars, steam engines have a good chance to light it on fire if you drive through it. Also any sliding wheels will definitely set it ablaze.
2:07:20 Now I don't know if comercial acetylene gas is still made this way. But you take calcium carbide and mix it with water. This produces acetylene gas and powdered lime (Calcium hydroxide). It's what the old carbide lamps used to run on back in the day. Edit: I looked it up and most comercial acetylene is now produced as a partial combustion of methane as oil is an easier source of the hydrocarbons instead of the coal needed for the calcium carbide production. Which is basically coal coke and lime baked at high temperatures in an arc furnace.
Incidentally, old miners' lamps are powered by calcium carbide and water. It's just a can with the carbide and water in it and a small tube that pipes the acetylene into the center of a reflector. The acetylene flame produces a brilliant white light.
Hi Hyce, I really like the long episodes, but please don't let them cause a burnout. If an episode gets too long, it's no problem if you split it in 2 weeks to take some rest. Have fun in Europe soon!
This is F Key Awareness day. Swap your dash bind to space and your jump bind to F. You can spam the spacebar with multiple fingers on your left hand while steering with your right.
Mark, your grandfather played with Calcium Carbide. Commonly used in miner's headlamps back in the day, because when it gets wet... yeah it produces acetylene.
@@Hyce777 BTW, it's not a mineral. CaC2 is basically made by cooking limestone mixed with coal. Fun thing: I've seen it sold in a hardware store... as mole repellent for the garden. Yup, put carbide in the hole, plug the entrance and let it slowly flood the tunnels with acetylene.
Fun Fact: Manually repairing your locomotives makes your overall debt lower. It’s not a separate thing, but a direct discount on paying off the career manager.
Well, if you're already in the "pay your remaining copay and the insurance will cover the rest" zone, it doesn't do too much. You service it manually for 2k - that's 2k off your copay (if I remember correctly). You pay 4k for the same service - that's 4k off your copay. And there's risk of paying more than your remaining copay and unexpectedly triggering insurance next time you touch the career terminal (even if you wanted to do a thing or two on the insurance money first)
33:33 I can confirm, did that myself after an incident with a tank car that leaked methane(and then exploded). When moving an 0-6-0 around in that spot, the cinders lit it off, and the area started burning. However, I think it needs something to burn first, some kind of fuel. And namely in this case, as you possibly find out yourself later(commenting as I go), _perhaps a leaky container of Acetelyne?_
1:34:22 - 1:34:23 i believe you were looking right at the water stand , but it was dark so you didnt notice. 1:39:54 you run right past the water stand after paying for service at the station
What's it like riding on the ES&D? Did you see "Airplane!" The Zucker brothers' mom was the passenger trying to put her lipstick on while the plane is crashing - that's what it's like. Or so my marketing research says.
Those lanterns really need magnets on the bottom or something huh? Yeah, acetylene totally comes from special nifty rocks, when they react with water. Super cool! Epic passenger car save.
2:06:25 That mineral is called calcium carbide aka calcium acetylide, it reacts with water into acetylene and calcium hydroxide. It is also used in carbide lamps.
I must say, having just recently gotten around to watching the video with the Eureka and the Glenbrook, it's kind of a shame that the only rocking that the steam locos tend to do is when you're moving at speed, and that they don't do much when they're actively working hard
Yeah, as was said in the comments before, there is usually a water plug lined with the passenger station. Not sure if that is from the Passenger Jobs Mod, or if it is where they put them in vanilla, but yeah, you looked directly at it twice (at least) and still missed it... Granted, it kinda looked like it could have been a part of the station, so it is understandable that you missed it, but the ones in the cities dont have the big water tank.... Also, for the up and down signs for the track speed, they signal a change of 20kph or more, so a change of 10 will have no sign.
Laughing my ass off as I watch the silly birb man look at a job order pointing to bright screaming orange containers on flat cars and than proceeds to completely overlook the bright screaming orange tank cars sitting prominently in the yard. Perception LVL: 0 Admittedly those aren't the type of containers you would associate with hauling gas, being normal, but short, box containers rather than tank containers. My guess is that you are hauling gas cylinders rather than the bulk gas.
@@Hyce777 it Kinda makes sense to me, on one hand, that is how you use acetylene gas, out of a cylinder. But on the other hand, don't people usually own (or rent) the cylinders and refill them at a dedicated dealer who buys the gas in bulk (i.e. in a tanker). Then again, being in a cylinder would explain why the gas is explosive, since any pressure vessel, if mishandled, is basically a bomb and as far as I know acetylene on its own is just flamable. IDK I don't work with the stuff. If you or anyone else knows more, feel free to chime in.
I remember in one of Squirrel's preview vids before Simulator dropped he showed that if you have spilt splodey boi juice and toss your burning cigarette lighter onto it bad things happen, then he spilt some more - careless of him - and drove a steam loco through it and again everything went doggy style (big woof).
perhaps when you bumped the acetylene tank it leaked and once you pulled out the lanterns it lit the fuel. also you can light the boiler with your lanterns in the game.
Mapify is really cool! I've gotten the test map myself, it's pretty fun! The only problem _is_ that there aren't really any maps made. The test map is really the only one I know well. Also, it has a few quirks itself(I had the spiral give me trouble when trying to use it. Could've been something on my end, but who knows). Still, I would LOVE for more people to use Mapify!
Y'know, running hazmat and passengers does seriously sound like something the ES&D would do. Side note, I'm not as big of a fan of the 2-hr DV episodes. I get that they happen (particularly when things go wrong) and they can be interesting, but I tend to prefer the ~1hr ones. (Ah, not that laugh again!)
On the positive side at least it was a through platform and not a stub terminal otherwise you'd have had 40 tons of locomotive crashing through Central Station on it's way to Marshall Fields
6:28 Well, it would be, if it wasn't for the fact that it is among the many other custom railcars that are waiting for CCL to update. They DID fix it for Simulator, but B98 and its changes, including the introduction of a revamped electrical system and the BE2, sorta threw the mod for a loop. So yeah, CCL isn't actually working rn, and in turn anything that needs it doesn't work, _including_ the Auxiliary Tender.
@@Hyce777 I have ran 14EL, 6SB, 24RL-M(SP), 26C and L, 30CW and CCB(?)... When the 24 worked right it was sa-wheat. We had a GE 70 Tonner that may have had 6ET but not sure.
@@DL541 Oh wow, you've got a lot more experience than me! Neat. I've heard 24RL is wacky. There's a few flavors of CCB, but all basically just computer-controlled versions of 26L, at least as it's been explained to me; but again I've not run them myself.
Jank insurance company agnolges that that the insurance is a infinite pit jank insurance co throws all trash in the pit of insurance and still haven't filed it up yet.
1:12:12 Someone has just taken a sledgehammer - very precisely - to the lead and trailing trucks and turned our 4-4-4-4 into a 2-4-4-2. Huzza- uh, I mean, oh no!
"Well Mark, you did more of a good job than the DPS did last week. So i quess keep up the good work. (P.S. we are wondering if we could do a collaboration?) -Drink Piss & Live Railroad Co.
Very interesting episode, for couple of reasons. SPOILER ALLERT! DO NOT READ IF YOU WANT FULL EXPERIENCE! 1) Are your alergy season done yet? Another train with passengers alive. Those pollen man, those pollen thingies 🤣 2) I was wondering if you run out of air in brake system on a downhill for exact reason you explain: what is operating pressure of the air pump . I was correctly sure that in real life at some point she will stop working. No fires, no steams, no dunk-dunk of the piston= no air. And the story about safety feature in valves was a good bonus knowledge moment. I really like those! 3) I was thinking that you have no water in a boiler at the approach to the MF. "How does he not blown up yet!" 🤣
Allergy season seems to have gotten a lot better in the past week and a half or so. Real life air pumps depend (of course) - but main reservoir is usually between 110 psi and 140 psi maximum, steam or diesel even. Around 7.5-8 bar, for the game's units. You need about 20 psi (1.3 bar) more steam to make that corresponding air pressure, based on the sizing and seals in the pumps - so if you get down low enough on steam to be lower than your main reservoir, you won't make it.
