Fun fact: early (pre-2007) models of the SD70ACe had poor cab isolation, so the cab was super loud and shaky as hell. Most railroads, including BNSF, banned them from leading. Ironically, Dovetail said they "couldn't get reference material" for the post-2006 models with improved isolation it's literally just a black line going down the side of the cab and just behind the nose, it's easy to see in pictures), so now you get to break railroad laws by driving locomotives that should not be allowed to lead! Too bad Dovetail didn't simulate the 9.0-magnitude shaking and the loudness of the thundercabs lol.

[@phannyphanny9053]

Is there a difference from the ace and Mac?

[@everettrailfan]

​@@phannyphanny9053 Big difference, the MAC has the older style comfort cab (hence the M in MAC) and the ACe has a unique cab subsequently reused on the SD80 and SD90 (which both failed) and the ACe-T4 with some modifications.

[@phannyphanny9053]

[@everettrailfan]

@@phannyphanny9053 No, BNSF only has the regular ACe. They had an order for some Tier 4s but canceled it.

I retired last year I designed EMD fuel tanks. I enjoy your channel

[@BluGames]

Thank you! You “designed” them wow thats really interesting thanks for watching!

[@SuperIceman1953]

The locomotive with the air tanks above the fuel tank is EMD Progress Rail and the loco with air tanks embedded in the tank is a General Electric manufacturer.

[@BluGames]

Ahhh ok i didnt know that

[@ellisjackson3355]

Some of the older GEs have air tanks situated above the fuel tanks

[@americanmusclemaniac9565]

Amazing video! Your definitely a underrated KZbinr

[@DirectLinden]

I really love your train videos, it’s obvious you put a lot of time into producing them. My only suggestion, at least for your North American train videos, is to update your terminology. The whole train, called the “Train,” is everything from the front to the back. Each individual unit that provides power to move the train is a “Locomotive,” not a “train” as you refer to them when explaining how they are different at the beginning of the video. As for non-US trains, they have different names for things that I don’t understand or know. They may refer to locomotives as trains for all I know. I know they call engineers (what we in the US refer to the people who sit on the right side and operate the controls) drivers, which may be more descriptive. Feel free to ignore the rankings of an old rail fan (me), but keep producing these videos. They are very entertaining.

[@BluGames]

This is helpful. I read the whole thing. I SHOULD know all the terms lol but sometimes i forget in the moment. And it very confusing between US & EU whats called what but thanks alot

[@imawatermelon1439]

I exclusively drive the ICE trains I’m TSW3. Watching this made it feel like your train was always at a stop. 😂

[@BluGames]

Hahahaha. Yea

[@traingp7]

One thing to know is that the ES 44 AC engines will have wheel slip more than the AC 70's in the game. I've had a SD 70 on the front and a GE behind and the wheel slip light was on in that unit on the screen even though it wasn't in my lead unit. I wish they had the wheel slip light come on if any unit in the consist is having wheel slip. It shouldn't be that hard to add the feature in the game and make it more realistic.

[@OmnikTWR]

Looks good, thanks for the video

That’ll prolly be a dlc for 40 bucks

Love the way you do the vids ! I really enjoy watching them. I get my radio chatter through live streams. How do you get the radio chatter on this video. That to me adds to the immersion of the whole sim. Thanks for your time and sharing the vid !

Hope u get it fix soon man. Thanks for hangin out

[@JohnnyCarroll-wi6tx]

one of the differentces between an EMD locomotive and a GE locomotive are the radiator locations on the top.emd,s radiator location is a little far forward whereas ite all the way back on a GE.

[@Yesdontask]

I play this on my Xbox and it's amazing

[@davinhuffaker4670]

I enjoy using emd locomotives more then GE ones because different types of GE locos look almost exactly the same from the outside and emds have a lot of differences between different types

[@BluGames]

I still dont know the difference between most of them. But im learning

What area was you listening to on the scanner in the background if I may ask? Also Great video bro Keep up the awesome work and God Bless

[@brian.daniel]

SD70 is an EMD-GM locomotive and the AC44 is a General Electric. 2 different manufacturers

[@chrisboyd8720]

Looks much better than TSW2

[@BluGames]

Much better indeed

[@chrisboyd8720]

@Blu Games Finally got it yesterday! Checking it out soon.

[@davinhuffaker4670]

If i had to choose a favorite route i would choose either southeastern high-speed or dresden to riesa due to variety and frequency

[@BluGames]

Yea those are top 2 for sure

[@bryshannbryant6773]

On Xbox, we only get 4 engines in the front, 2 in the rear. How did you pull this off, Blu?

Didn't know it snowed in California.

[@RandomVideoEditors]

It snows in some parts of California not the whole state. It’s usually in the eastern part of California I believe from seeing stuff online.

Is the radio traffic just streaming from the internet or is it a mod?

Ever thought about Run8 or is that just too much for your purposes?

I love run 8. Been learning it so that i can post a video

​@@BluGameslooking forward to watching you play run 8. I should get that sim myself

[@jenniferadams7582]

Wow 90 unit consist. I play on ps4 so they limit the number of cars to 40 or so and no middle of consist locos just front and rear locos. Edit: I do want to get on PC just need to build something that would play comfortably.

[@qaz_kb]

In tsw 3 if you create your own route you can get a sd70 train with 70 tankers and 6 locomotives I believe he has a mod that gives him more on his train

[@rxramblingrose4857]

and bro they run sd70s all day long on the cajon irl

[@phannyphanny9053]

I normally see the es44acs and I always the the es44s lead

[@bidibulle6795]

Good morning. I am French, I live in France in the mountains in the Pyrenees but a very big fan of US trains. Brief. I have all the US DLCs on TSW3 except 3 routes: -Sherman Hill -Horseshoe Curve -Cane Creek Since it's the steam sales right now in France, I'd like to take one of the three routes I'm missing. I hesitate in the Sherman hill and the Horseshoe Curve. (the Cane Creek is too short I find and in 1 lane so no train crossing suddenly it interests me much less) Between the Sherman and the Horseshoe which one do you prefer between the two? I specify that I already have these two roads on TSclassic and that I like them both but as on TSW3 it is not at all the same thing, an opinion is always good to take especially when it comes from an enthusiast like You . Thanks in advance .

[@BluGames]

Horshoe curve would be my personal choice
