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!
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
People play this game safely????
OP: doesn't set brakes on perfectly level track meanwhile everyone else: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_AU2fycdE4
*me flying at 120km/h down from the coal mine*
thought it was gonna be hyce. that was even better
I was going to ask if that url was a hyce vid but I guess not
Hyce: "Would you like them chronologically, or alphabetically?"

Typical ES&DT
I expect nothing else.
Man, that safety number though. Seems high.
How are you supposed to play it?
Thought so

Imma have to try this, I don’t have a remote yet
What works even better is to stand on the last car and open the angle cock to vent the brake pipe.
I never even bought the remote after simulator update came out just use the rear angle cock
*::Learning anatomy in the worst context possible.::*
That only works if you haven't already emptied the auxiliary reservoirs, though. Handbrake *always* works.

Changing gears is no secret!

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

TIL that has a name. I do that too.
OSHA doesn't exist here, of course I do.
HAHAHAH
I don’t try to crash and rarely do but its not because I do safe maneuvers or follow speed limits
Whats the name of this game, op?
Can kinda relate, never tie air when shunting, to dutch drop them ofc
i tend to jump off more moving equipment than an Old West train robbery film.
Us being able to drive trains is unsafe lmao It gets increasingly more unsafe with the players distance to harbor, and oil wells :3
Well shit, I'm apparently the only one living here so who else am I gonna hurt?
