Checking out the NEW Coal Line and Running Iron in Railroads Online!

Hey everyone and welcome back to more Railroads Online! Today we have completed the coal mine but don't have any resources to trade for coal! As a result we're going to take another trip up the brand new bridge to the iron mine to deliver some iron down to the smelter in order to supply our coal production in the future!

[@realRyanMeade]

My suggestion is to have a shunt yard right before the climb to the coal mine so you can exchange locomotives from a class 70 to a geared train to be as efficient as possible.

[@Bendigo1]

I use one on my map, not for switching power but to store hoppers and empty stake cars, so that i can grab them on the way back from the coal mine or iron mine.

[@Dimondminer11]

Oooo yeah that would be a good idea

[@DonSeldum]

Was literally about to write this exact suggestion :)

[@tropicalvikingcreations]

This sounds like a great idea.

[@VestedUTuber]

Wouldn't need to be a full yard. A passing siding with a spur for the exchange locomotive would be enough. And you wouldn't have to swap locomotives in multiplayer since you could just use the geared locomotive as a banker.

[@BMPellogia]

I dont think you need multiple engines to the iron ore run.Eliminate those crazy tight curves and i bet you can climb that hill more easy

[@vanitazazas]

Exactly, that one tight curve at the end of the iron ore line causes the mogul to lose friction and therefore struggles to pull any load from there, that's why barely made it up the tyop this episode. So straighten out those curves, don't hug everything to the wall.

[@fdfpi47]

"once you're too fast you're kind of screwed." the same is true in real life. If a train gets going too fast down hill the brakes overheat and stop working.

[@ThePTBRULES]

Or Air Brakes on Trucks, heat management is so important to pervert equipment failure.

[@LoPhatKao]

[@jhrstudios.87546]

One thing you can do for time lapses when using the cook mogul is the Little platforms on the boiler you can actually stand on or even the front of the train where you can crouch and do time lapses that way

[@schmidtyplayz3991]

I got this game a little while ago, and I haven't played the game much due to time restraints. But if you are open to it, I'd love to run some trains on your map! If not, I totally understand.

Railroads Online needs a kick switch - a switch with no machine that just flips left and right either by kicking it [really only seen on hobby railways like 7.5” gauge or 12” gauge] or by the train passing back through the switch the other way. Train goes through the straight section of track and pushed the points the opposite direction when coming back through the curves section of track (left switches to right, train passes back through, right switches to left)

For rerailing trains, could you build a series of rails like rungs on a ladder back to the mainline, rerail the train across the "rungs," then delete the rungs after? I'm not sure if you could do this or not, but I feel it could have saved some derailed cars you've had to delete in the past

Suggestion for a return only line for the coal mine. Build a downhill return line as straight as possible that merges with the line down in the valley. Edit: A good excuse for a crazy bridge.

[@eddingtonrailroading]

Devs should add a season cycle and in the winter time have the snow cover your tracks and add a snow plow so you’ll have to plow your own tracks in the winter time in order to run trains

[@libra3655]

I would keep storage for extra beams up there. Just haul a poop ton of wood beams, start the unloading process, and then come back with steel rails. After the steel rails are unloaded you can probably unload more wood beams and then just run empties back down.

[@cabowerks3973]

[@vincentweatherly9991]

You could make a siding to store beams so you can run a full train up once every 2/3 loads of rails

[@timhastings4863]

I've been watching your videos for a few weeks now, Thanks for the entertaining content. To my eye something has all ways seemed off with the way your track looked/looks. My dad happened to walk by while I was viewing a video of yous. He said "Hey wheres the ballast?" I said "Right there under the track." The crushed rock that the track sits on is called ballast, apparently the ballast is supposed to come up to the top of the tie. I think Ballast and the fact that the rails are spiked to the ties is what prevents the rails from moving around and for drainage. He volunteers at a Railway museum In Lake Perris Cal. and one of the many things he does out there is lay real track with 90 or 120 pound/foot rail. So I take him at his word.

[@matterdaddy4764]

@24:18 change each of these 4 curves and smooth them out. Cpt. Cooke will make it easy... You even knew it was going to happen before it happened right at the timestamp. Love the series though. So funny. 😁

[@zaklex3165]

You don't need the tender brake when coasting downhill, you just have to apply the airbrake every so often. You don't leave the sander on, just turn it on for a second or two and then turn it off, that's all you need...and always make sure all brakes are completely off.

[@wilwilke6504]

Solution: Multiple multi-trains. Multi-mults. 1. Heisler (Lumber/planks) and caboose on Iron (Pushing ore) 2. Mogul (Rails) and Betsy (Lumber) to Coal (Pushing coal) 3. Eureka and Porter 2 on Lumber-Smelter loop / shunting (may attempt one of the longer runs)

[@rowanbaillie9814]

A valid reason for a Y switch fron the iron mine up to the coal one is for wood trains, take up the wood for the coal and iron together, and leave the iron's empty wood cars at the Y when you head up to the coal mine

[@briannem.6787]

Trains usually have a speedometer now. They used to not know how fast they are going OR use a stopwatch between two known points to calculate speed

[@EtBEF_02]

I think this would be were you need multiple people regularly running one specific route, one supplies iron mine, one takes it to smelter, one takes beams to the coal and another with rail, then there will be no issues (not including delays and interupting the schedule which can be fixed by someone running to back up incase of issue) you can constantly run trains without a worry

[@darknut9696]

they should add Whistle signs for when you cross a bridge and when you arrive at location for immersion. also if you plan to go places that are steep try double heading with a gear locomotive and with a caboose to keep tension on the train

[@leshy1878]

"The heisler could probably go up 10% with 20 cars and be like OK next." Bro, the Heisler can go up 20% with 23 refined oil cars with no real issue. The big problem is that at that point, you'll need the sander, 100% reg, and if you stop you cant get started on the hill. The Heisler is the steam-driven god of Railroad Online, nothing can dominate it.

[@Egerit100]

That is oddly specific. Also I wouldn't call it no problem if you need 100% reg AND the sander

[@leshy1878]

@@Egerit100 Its oddly specific because those are the exact specs the heisler is best under. And what I initially meant to say was, "You may need the sander". I'm really bad at the game, so I need the sander, but kAN would probably have no issue without the sander

on standard steam locomotive (non-geared) there are 4 chuffs per revolution, using the circumference of the drivers, one can calculate the speed of the locomotive.

False. It depends. There's trains which'll do 6 or even 8 chuffs per revolution, at least in real life. In game? Probably correct.

I took a spur from just before the first bridge leaving the coal mine, climbing at 2% it just sneaked over a mountain pass and goes all the way directly to the iron works.

@9:55 that looks like a good place to build a tunnel through the mountain if you can get the resources to provide you with dynamite then transport the dynamite it to that location 😀 I know there isn't a dynamite factory.. YET! 😀

[@awildjared1396]

As an experienced Derail Valley player, I can confirm downhill is scarier because going up hill the worst case scenario is you stall and get stuck there, going downhill you only have so much braking power

[@SirLANsalot]

Again, you NEED Railroads Online Extended. So if, more like when, you lose control of a train like that, you can remote set the break to full and stop the runaway. Also the map of your rail network helps a ton too.

[@TailcoatGames]

Being able to catch a runaway train removes like any chance of risk entirely

[@Quad373]

Nah thats no fun

[@alexsmodelrailroad2795]

Make a staging yard up at the coal mine with storage for extra material.

[@BillWiltfong]

It would be neat to build a transfer station where you deliver beams and rails, to let them sit until it's time to make a run to the coal mine.

[@sperzieb00n]

being able to bank the track would nice for those high speed corners

[@ebyproperties]

The iron works takes raw iron from smelter, beams from the sawmill, and coal from coal mine. It makes tools and steel pipes

[@chasesrailwaylinesrr6447]

I wonder if the Eureka can pull the iron cars also Try leaving the cook mogul right where you left the Eureka and see if it comes flying off the track

[@CommandWolfGaming]

You really got to rework that iron line loop. You barely made it up there with 4 coal/iron cars. The only thing that could make it on that loop is the gear train and that is by yourself and safely. I agree with Ryan Meade as well in putting a shunting yard or some way of swapping out one train for another closer to the areas they are going to be used in. That was you can quickly change them up.

Have you heard of the "Railroad Online Extended" mod? It is attached to the game after you start. I has the ability to run trains without being on them. IE no more runaways. Engines controls with speedometer, brakes on cars, switches, zoom to different areas to locate cars, etc, all remotely. works best if you have two screens, but still better than jumping on and off trains. Also has a teleport mode, to change you location. Love your railroad.

@Kangaming I'm trying to be mean but do understand physics the only reason the cook had any problems going to the iron mine is the 90 degree turns your losing all your momentum while simultaneously adding additional friction putting more load on the engine for example its easy to pull Something up a ramp but visualize doing that with that barely fits through the path and then having to make turn while doing it

I think, that you just can not draw a straight line from the iron mine down to the smelter, at least not, if you plan to go this uphill. The shorter the route the steeper it gets. If you remove turns and make it shorter, it will get steeper.

Honestly, one of these days wish you would take just one of the Betsy's and go around straightening out those kinks in your rails, especially the ones on those hill climbs and by the iron mine path you took today. Even if you did it off camera for speed sake. Both ends of that line are causing serious efficiency issues. If you listen to the train as it goes around the corners, you can really tell. Especially if you think of the firing and loudness as a percentage, it sounds like you lose like 10% each corner. Also worried about the next big trip, you forget and just send the cargo off the rails again, considering how many trips that's looking to be.

[@michaelstephens7527]

Need to add additional track to keep your rail cars on the track

[@BotherRed]

I think your new iron line is fine, it just needs to be smoothed out. Those turns bleed off wayyyyy too much speed and cause too much friction which is why your struggle to clime it. Also, you still have the Class 70 to do which is just as bit as strong

[@BrokenIET]

Speed was measured by a gauge in the cab, or there were things called "mileposts" (in the UK at least) and you could use a stopwatch to measure the time between 2 of them and do a calculation (speed = distance over time right?), the third option is a dynamometer car but I have 0 idea of how they work

[@MHornslet]

Question: Why dont you put a Turn Table on top, pull the cargo up, turn the train on top, and hold the cargo down.. Then you only brake down and the slack is pulled out both ways, so you only manage the speed both ways, instead of the way down, the slack is pushed into you all the way down... Im not a train guy, but this makes sense to my logik, and you dont have to turn all the carts on the top and dosent req. that much space to turn around... Hope this is usefull, awesome video ;)

[@MHornslet]

And that makes room for a shunt instead on the top, so if you have a multiplayer server, people can park in the shunt while one is unloading with the turn tabel at the end of the delivery line.... The shunts will have to waint to turn their train, but there will be room instead of the long loop thing... What do you think ?

[@ShyR0n3y]

did you take the brake off the tender box before you started the climb to the iron mine?
