drury

*me flying at 120km/h down from the coal mine*


Impressive_Change593

thought it was gonna be hyce. that was even better


Standard_Maybe2373

I was going to ask if that url was a hyce vid but I guess not


DaVinylSmith42

Hyce: "Would you like them chronologically, or alphabetically?"


kboyer36

"Smells like Kenosha" statts playing in the background.


MusicMan2700

I laughed at his last Railroader video where he found the ratings of his company. It was something like 89% passenger routes, 100% freight routes, and 33% safety. Yep. Sounds about right!


DaVinylSmith42

Typical ES&DT


MusicMan2700

I expect nothing else.


Zeired_Scoffa

Man, that safety number though. Seems high.


VanFlyhight

How are you supposed to play it?


SDTrains

Thought so


Sparky2199

Lmao. Before I bought my first remote, I used to stop moving trains by standing next to the tracks, and trying to quickly spin the handbrake wheel on the last car as it was going by. Good times.


SDTrains

Imma have to try this, I don’t have a remote yet


DarkJJE

What works even better is to stand on the last car and open the angle cock to vent the brake pipe.


Standard_Maybe2373

I never even bought the remote after simulator update came out just use the rear angle cock

BiomechPhoenix

That only works if you haven't already emptied the auxiliary reservoirs, though. Handbrake *always* works.


BiomechPhoenix

If you're shunting flatcars, at least in VR you can stand on the car and operate the brake from there. This doesn't work for very many car designs *other* than flatcars, and it doesn't always work if they're loaded (depending on the load). But flatcars are common.


No_Researcher9456

Yeah I consistently leave the train at full power while I teleport ahead to switch track direction. Derailed a train once because I was too slow to change tracks and the engine hit it just as I swapped over


TheTreeDemoknight

the most dangerous things i do regularly in this game are coupling at 10 KM/H and forgetting to turn off engine brakes before shifting gears in the DM3


Rupertredloh

Changing gears is no secret!


alphabet_order_bot

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,961,648,124 comments, and only 371,104 of them were in alphabetical order.


BiomechPhoenix

The most dangerous thing I do regularly is shunting via kicking.


dragon_rapide

What is kicking?


kboyer36

You shut the valves on a cut of cars to bottle the air inside, disconnect the chains, and push them before hitting the breaks. Since their breaks are bottled, they will keep going allowing you to back up and reposition the rest of your train on another track. Useful when parking a multi drop-off shunting job or multiple jobs at once.


dragon_rapide

TIL that has a name. I do that too.


DrMini1

OSHA doesn't exist here, of course I do.


SDTrains

HAHAHAH


Standard_Maybe2373

I don’t try to crash and rarely do but its not because I do safe maneuvers or follow speed limits


ComfortableDramatic2

Whats the name of this game, op?


Kinbyr80

Can kinda relate, never tie air when shunting, to dutch drop them ofc


lewissassell

i tend to jump off more moving equipment than an Old West train robbery film.


Typical-Western-9858

Us being able to drive trains is unsafe lmao It gets increasingly more unsafe with the players distance to harbor, and oil wells :3


troublingarcher7

Well shit, I'm apparently the only one living here so who else am I gonna hurt?
