Fulfilling Tier 3 Contracts | Railroader S1E09

The coal for hard woods would be for an onsite power plant, lots of large factory's at this time made their own electricity as the local grid was not up to the task or didn't exist in the first place.

[@Thej611]

Could also have been for a steam generator to run an overhead belt system. Those were also used at the time

[@The_New_IKB]

@@Thej611yes could also be that or both

[@Thej611]

Also, Appalachian Hardwoods is a furniture manufacturer. The boxcars spotted next to the coal hopper pick up furniture

[@ryansuess4289]

A tip for waiting: I had the thought after waiting an hour several times for passengers and getting more than I can carry, that if I switch to fast time I can fill the car up in under an hour. Switching back once full. I'm running more full passenger trains. Right now I still have a lot of down time, but playing solo like you are time will become ever more critical. It might have only taken 15 or 30 minutes in game to empty that log car.

[@athomasmay]

Great work on the play through. I know people have varying opinions, but I think you do a good job balancing showing the essential aspects of the game and cutting the more redundant/mundane (if there is such a thing) parts. Also, the lumber mills would still be using steam to power their saws and belts, etc. Coal would be used to make the steam. Correct me if I’m wrong.

[@KerboOnYT]

That could be the case, good point

[@TheHighRoad1748]

It'd be great to see the #2 ten-wheeler have an episode or two in the spotlight 👍

[@KerboOnYT]

So, about that...

[@warmstrong5612]

A logging mikado with tender should be an all around good freight locomotive that should do well even in late game.

[@xray606]

The thing I like about this one is that it somehow conveys actually traveling a distance pretty well. Maybe it’s how they have the stations or something, I’m not sure why. But it just feels like you have actually gotten somewhere when you move. It would be cool to see a telegraph element added.

[@Thej611]

Just a heads up, once you get the bridge repair at Bryson done, you’re going to need a MUCH stronger freight locomotive, as the grades are very steep coming out of Bryson

[@KerboOnYT]

So about that... See Friday's video :)

[@billyrueckert5113]

I've been using the money I get for passenger equipment. I bought the 80 seat steel coach and the observation car. Passenger pays dividends now and I've been able to avoid loans. Also, Captive Service cars can be damaged without impacting your reputation.

[@thegameoflife9179]

liking the industry side to this game, i hope they add more life into the surrounding scenery though, cars, people, animals (as long as does not affect frame rates too much) because there is nothing worse than feeling like your the only one doing something ;-)

[@KerboOnYT]

There is more scenery planned during early access, but I'm not sure about moving things like cars, people, or animals.

[@Flashiny]

It says on the highlight while you were hovering over the contracts info exactly how it works. around 7min into the video.

[@TheGhostRonin]

I love this series SO much, please keep em coming!

[@KerboOnYT]

Thank you so much. There's another video out Friday

[@TheGhostRonin]

@@KerboOnYT just in time for my weekend! Looking forward to it

[@TheJaernvaeg]

I know, anyone can play as you like, but for my tasting, the fly shunt at ela wasnt really neccesar. You could have got the Ela inbounds to Bryson and then do the Ela on the returntrip to Whittier. Nevertheless I really do like your play through. you keep it calm and do your thing. Please keep up the Railroader series. There is so much to come. Maybe sometime you could play some multiplayer?

[@KerboOnYT]

The fly shunt was for fun. This is a game :)

[@jonathanbair523]

I know this is 3 months late, but for the 10 wheeler with it having a small tender... It would make a good "yard dog" to push cars around or keep it for the log runs only.

[@KerboOnYT]

The Ten Wheeler went to a new owner. Thanks for watching!

[@warmstrong5612]

42:14 Then you just do what Hyce does in that situation, blame the "night shift" and proceed like nothing happened.

[@fredpryde8555]

looking awesome well done kerbo

[@Mikebalto1]

if you shift click on the gland hands when connecting and disconnecting it automatic open or closes the valves

[@KerboOnYT]

I've been doing that for 9 episodes now, except when I don't want to bottle the air

[@Randallator966]

also, shift clicking the coupling when disconnecting also does that

[@lawrencetaylor8972]

Don’t forget the box el station house

[@lawrencetaylor8972]

I like your videos I think pretty cool are they expand the map

[@kevinwbrake]

When there is air in the brake line the brakes are released, and no air in the line, brakes are applied.

[@obbi442]

finally got my pc back Tuesdays and started playing again

[@KerboOnYT]

Nice!

[@AustinsAmericanFlyertrains]

What cars have you added to your fleet by this time?

[@KerboOnYT]

I believe when this was recorded I had added 4 skeleton log cars and 1 passenger coach

[@GoPro._Musica]

How many days do you really have to make a delivery?

[@KerboOnYT]

If you look at the contract, it shows the percentage of revenue lost per day late

[@robertr3470]

I wish they would list the number of cars that would fit in a serviceable siding.

[@KerboOnYT]

There's a great map someone has made on the Railroader Discord. Once you've joined use this link discord.com/channels/795878618697433097/1184913656123772948

[@JTBondrew]

I made the plunge into debt, sold the caboose and all the steam engines i had and bought a SW1 and a GP9. Granted refilling the fuel stands is pricey, but the diesels just sip fuel! And i run them in push pull making switching easy! Love the vids and the game!

[@Randallator966]

the 10-wheeler has a smaller tender

[@Randallator966]

Should say I mean physical size as well as capacity*

[@shimmy5737]

I'd like to see them add hobo jungles

[@KerboOnYT]

Little details around the map would be nice. I know more scenery is coming at some point

[@jjsallot]

Nice Video BD!

[@ReinaldoRauch]

the thing bout debt is that if you`re making more money with the equipment you buy after taking it then it worths getting the debt, I get some to buy some passenger cars and 2 locos right in the beginning and already paid off because you can accumulate passengers at the stations and only run them when they`re full, also that observation car bonus is pretty good

[@OxfordStan]

[@MrPupsi]

Im a little bit confused. The Sawmill wants or consumes at T3 15 cars/day but Connelly Creek only produces 12 cars/day combined (L1 L2 L3 ). So its not really possible to 100% the sawmill. Also - why is Connelly L1 L2 L3 combined? :D I thought they are seperate. But with the latest update you can see they are connected.

[@Lemonaitor]

I thought it's 12 per track, for a total of 36? As I've not had an issue supplying tier 3 saw mill with just 16 cars a day from connelly

[@MrPupsi]

@@Lemonaitor Yea i thought that too, but Connelly now shows on all tracks the same amount after i pull out 8 cars (which is like 3-4 logs left or so). Maybe the production that is display is just wrong? Its weird.

[@KerboOnYT]

I haven't paid any attention to the production numbers and when I take my 8 cars to Connelly L2 twice a day they always get loaded so I don't know

[@MrPupsi]

@@KerboOnYT lol they just released an update that fixed what i said xD

[@FrameRate_24]

They will *fast load* 12 cars per track, and *slow load the rest* I fill 24 cars in a day in Connelly with some shuffling no problem.

[@DL541]

How dare you serve customers on a railroad by hauling the goods in freight cars to them!
