Classic Santa Fe Railroad F7 | Train Sim World 3 | Cajon Pass

[@brentritchie6199]

These train bodies were such an iconic part of the early diesel era, they are fantastic and the Santa Fe is the most recognizable and the most used in artwork, toys etc around the globe.

[@BluGames]

For sure!!

[@PTRRanger951]

A lot of the whistle boards are for warnings in narrow areas, bridges, tunnels, blind curves to warn anyone that maybe on the tracks. They are not always at crossings.

[@MrAlex-ej8ov]

It would be so cool to have custom consists, I desperately want to have the F7s pull passenger *anything*. Even if it's Amfleets or Bilevels, maybe use the livery editor to make something for the MBTA cars. That would be awesome.

[@farmingland-i6p]

[@jwrailve3615]

That’s all we want. It even offers passenger as an consist option on custom scenario yet it just loads up the loco consist super frustrating

[@traingp7]

If you haven't tried any of the San Bernadino to Victorville you need to. The trains are way underpowered and you can't even do above 10 MPH and 1000 amps on the amp meter. This is way too high and too slow for these engines. They really should of tested these activities before they posted them in the game.

[@BluGames]

This exactly why i didnt do that trip lol

[@aaronschoaf4253]

Just like real life! Underpowered to “save fuel”. Only give you enough power to be maxed out on TPA and barely make the hill.

[@jammymoore228]

Currently looking for advice on this exact problem. Sat at 9.5mph and 995 apms for the past half hour. Still got 6+ miles of 2%+ gradient to work through.

[@Trainman-cw1zl]

I wish they would cuz then it would feel more realistic. But it's made by British people 🙄 so I doubt they would

[@paulhicks451]

I did the route again with the month set to July. I was able to complete the route that time but like you said, the throttle was maxed out with amps pegging the top of the gauge the whole time, and a lot of wheel slippage. Another thing I learned the hard way is, be sure to turn on the overhead light at night. Also, learn where the engine start and run switches are. If the engine goes into a shut down mode, it’s a challenge to find them in the dark. I went to the training module several times and practiced how to locate them until I finally was able to do it. What can I say, I’m hooked!

[@KaijuForceNeo]

It was amazing to drive the F7 on the 4th of July and revitalize the old history of Santa Fe!

[@BluGames]

Yea i liked that scenario

[@scooter2329]

I remember seeing these when I was a child. My grandparents lived next to the tracks in Ohio. I believe they were in the B&O livery. Such an awesome sight.

[@paradiseroad6405]

...as a kid in the 1960s... I used to watch the top Santa Fe passenger trains...Super Chief...Chief...El Capitan...etc...make the run at Raton Pass from the Trinidad Colorado passenger depot behind four or five War Bonnet F7s...a friendly engineer invited my brother and I up to look around the cab once...a memorable day...unfortunately I can't remember the unit number...I have a War Bonnet F7 HO scale engine in my display case that I have owned for at least 60 years...

[@anony88]

I'm glad train games are still being made. I'm still hoping for a train sim with essentially true to life physics in pretty much every aspect for cars/engines/weight/movement and good graphics(both). They seem to be getting close, but I'm not sure its quite there. I'd also like to see really long trains, where I can basically match the longest train ever made in real life if I wanted to.

[@BluGames]

Yea me too my friend

[@CaptainMetalwing]

Run8 has everything you're looking for minus the graphics, which aren't great, but they become irrelevant compared to how goods the physics are.

[@Brotherdot]

Amazing visuals. Love the F7!

[@JA17SBLVIIIMVP]

Does the area really see snow?

[@paulhicks451]

I did this route through the mountains in January and got stuck near the summit with no way to overcome the ice on the rails. I tried sanding the rails, and even waited for the sun to come up hoping it would melt the ice, only for snow to start falling about an hour later. Another approach I tried was dividing the consist in half and park those cars on a side track on the other side of the mountain, and go back to get the other half. That worked, but I soon discovered the switches were locked with no way to manually throw them. Also, I could not back down to get another run at it because another train was sitting several hundred yards behind me! The F7's are not powerful enough to pull the consist up 2.2% slopes in the Winter scheme.

[@BluGames]

Wow!!!! Yea its not strong enough

[@RailroadEngineer123]

How many B units did you have?

[@paulhicks451]

@@RailroadEngineer123 TSW3 give you 2A’s and 2 B’s.

These locomotives would've looked so much better pulling the Super Cheif train but that's just me because I love that train

[@BluGames]

I agree tho

[@TrxieVTuber]

In regards to the F7 sound mod, that has to be ported to the ATSF F7. Both units have the same sounds but aliased under different paths (cause they're different pak files). So that should be done maybe by the end of today? Stay tuned on the TSC for whenever it comes out. I think it was grigggs making it?

[@BluGames]

thanks

[@tommarshall333]

Nice Sim presentation. Just one small problem. Santa Fe Freights were pulled by Blue & Yellow Units. The Units displayed in your simulation were used to pull passenger trains. Other than that, I enjoyed your presentation. My Father worked for Santa Fe for nearly forty years in the B & B Division. My sister and I traveled on the Cajon Route many times with Dad and on our own in the 1950s.

[@NegdoshaManido]

A 1951 Super Chief consist would totally make this even more awesome! Thanks for the video!

[@billmorrison3714]

Blu, the Burlington Northern painted their locomotives in Cascade green. The BN was formed in 1970 with the merger of the Great Norther, the Northern Pacific, the Chicago Burlington & Quincy, and the Spokane Portland & Seattle.

[@jawoo2228]

11:23 Not sure if this is the answer but I've noticed whistle boards in real life on the Montana Hi-Line in places where there's no longer a need for them and where you won't see BNSF whistling. It's really small towns like Kremlin MT(?) where there's no longer a grain mill so no longer any cross traffic on the roadways and whatnot. The railroad apparently doesn't care enough to pull the sign. It could be that in Cajon there used to be a roadway and a need for a whistle board but since it's remote they just don't care enough to remove the sign.

[@RocktCityTim]

Brakes? We don't need no stinking brakes! Hot dog boy's gonna have some angry customers - no mustard!

[@BluGames]

[@GhostOfLorelei]

Love the content. Mostly, I love that you keep setting up these awesome little screen caps throughout the video so we can watch the train go by. Those shots look super good! PS: I LOVE rain, so all the shots in the rain are awesome to me. Personally I prefer it over dry weather! And yeah, that’s not everyone, but don’t forget there are those of us who enjoy it ;)

[@jenniferadams7582]

I'm a sucker for rain. I'm ASMR sensitive so the sound of rain on metal is very soothing to me

[@BluGames]

Thank will keep that in mind! Also thats literally all i do during long drives is setup and watch trains drive by in the sim lol

[@BluGames]

It is very soothing

[@Techpower888]

What a magnificent train. I'm new to Train Sim world, this looks like a real beauty!

[@BluGames]

It is!

[@jenniferadams7582]

So thought I'd chime in a bit about the signal light is also called a Mars Light. It does indeed wobble and traces a kind of infinity loop like path. Was invented by a chicago firefighter who realized that the movement of a light source would aid in catching attention of motorists to be alert of the fire fighters vehicles.

[@zechariahwilliams5824]

I’m disappointed I thought I was going to see the passenger coaches too but I was wrong what a small world got to love it LOL

Sometimes there are whistle boards in locations with low visibility or in tight quarters where the trains will blow the horn in so people can get out of that area.

Hey Blu Games, how do you turn on the flashing red light at the end of the train while driving it? I’m playing on Xbox with a USB keyboard and I can’t figure out how to turn on the flashing red light for the end of the train while driving my train, it’s very annoying to me that I can’t turn it on before I start driving my train somewhere. Is it a keyboard button or some type of control in the locomotive itself? Please help me on how to turn it on. Thanks! 16:36

Its supposed to be automaticly on the end of any freight train unless the last unit on the consist is a locomotive. But theres not button to activate it.. same goes on pc
