RAILROADER - WE MADE IT! 👀 - Endgame(?) & More updates 

Coal trains and double heading go hand in hand

I thought of this too but quickly abandoned it. I noted that when passengers debark at Alarka jct. I didn't get paid for bringing them that far and then the passengers reset their point of origin to Alarka jct. so when they get to Alarka, I only got a dollar for each. Also my first run, I had more than 84 passengers and the rest despawned before I even made it to Alarka the first run.

@@kevinbeach3621 yeah, hopefully they’ll address that issue (getting paid when you disembark them), unless you do get paid, but it’s once they get to their final destination (without the payment “resetting” as if they originated from the disembarked station). I have not been willing to verify if that’s the case (too busy), so I simply just run one train, for now to all the destinations.

Why not make the Alarka Passenger an accommodation train and run it down to Bryson for the good citizens to spend a day shopping. That would mean a morning and evening round trip, but Passenger pays well, right?

Hey I appreciate it! It can seem busy but you can always put off certain contracts. Recently I've only stuck w the larger ones that equal pay/time So i know i can get a few hundred at Appalachian hardwood spotting a few cars vs stenzel manufacturing with only 1 car which takes more time

That makes sense, I was thinking about doing that but I wasn't sure if that would have been a good move

Can you relay the some of the tonnage ratings? To Sylva, since I don't have Andrews yet and I got some big trains going up that 1% grade

@@09JDCTrainManI was able to get one G-16 Mogul to take 920+ tons from Bryson to Whittier (post Alarka Branch empties), which impressed me! The speed dropped down to about 5 mph, but it made it over the Governors Island grade. Before, I MU’d two G-16s to get the tonnage from Bryson up to Alarka Jct. for the Alarka branch build/milestone. All I’ve got are G-16s (Whittier to Nantahala built so far, with the Red Marble Grade in progress), but I’m looking at possibly bigger locomotives soon, too! I cannot wait for any new Railroader updates because I’ve got this feeling things within the game may change drastically after those updates, affecting my purchasing decisions, so I’m sticking with Moguls for now-but I’m running out of time and patience. 😆

@Spanderson99; I'd love to run rear end pushers, but how do you set that up running Ai?

Its the graham county yard near Topton. Can fit like 30 cars at once!

Theres no need to rush. Make sure youve got a good loco fleet. Makes everything much smoother

It changes throughout the day to reflect the 2 hour and 30 minute time difference if you were to select/activate it right then and there. Let’s say it’s 10:00 now game-time, your Interchange would be serviced at 12:30. It simply is there to give you an easier time reference, rather than doing the math yourself.

All you have are Wyes in the game, so far as I can tell. The cabooses are available for long shove/reverse movements, if you’re attempting to run more prototypical. Perhaps they’ll add the ability to build track, or at least give you an option to milestone in balloon tracks, and what-not?

No, but there is a mod for that

Yeah i just rolled that way unfortunately cos i was rushing. I'll get another one out soon focusing on Andrews and the pulp spur down the line

Its not that tough, more people are helpful but keeping certain contracts and axing others is key. Gotta manage time wisely. Ive been having a road train from sylva and andrews meet in bryson and its do-able. Also keep in mind most contracts'll give you a few days to take cars

You can always cancel contracts with industries. I restarted my game and took contracts with only the big industries which kept the game playable even with the entire route unlocked.

Just fully expanded the current map. The andrews area is awesome, an extra interchange with a massive papermill. I have 2 road train and 2 pax trains from each end meet in the middle at bryson now and its great

@schnauzahpowahz that's what I'm currently doing completing all the track repairing bridges then I'll do freight and passenger service

@@nickforest7816that’s the point of trains…to deliver passengers and freight once you unlock everything the real fun of running the railroad comes into play . If you’re just playing to explore and unlock some giant map this game isn’t for you. Also if they kept adding more and more it would become unmanageable. Even with AI it’s difficult for one human to run tons of trains and doing yard work in 1 day you would need a crew of 5 people to run the entire railroad
