I’m a freight train conductor myself, it’s insane how accurate the gameplay is to real life.

[@jefesman]

It's amazing how far these sims have come in the last 10 years, so realistic & getting better in each iteration!

[@DavidLeon140m3]

be funy if they implement underpowered trains and banner test

[@thelazyfarmer]

This game is so pretty. For true to life train physics in a railroad simulator, check out Run8. It’s open world sandbox and multiplayer as well. Work road trains, locals, industry switchers or Amtrak.

[@user-yn8do4px8e]

That's laughable especially the part where you say you're a Conductor, what are you talking about this game is Nowhere near Accurate to real life. There is so much missing from being Real in game. Guess you didn't look hard enough at the MFD wrong locations of tools and missing icons ha-ha but it's Insane how Accurate it is tho as you say Conductor, yeah OK I believe that!

[@thelazyfarmer]

@@user-yn8do4px8e To clarify, riding conductor in the game. Not in real life. If you watch any of my videos I talk openly about what I really do.

[@huntersrailproductions3636]

They really need to add radio affects in the cab and be able to hear defect detectors as well. That would be cool.

[@BluGames]

Yep i agree

[@jenniferadams7582]

Yeah and like they had radio chatter in Sand Patch Grade.

[@BluGames]

@jenniferadams7582 yea that was so good

[@cruzgarcia6173]

Want radio effects, this is what I did or on your cellphone there should be an audio record icon go to your computer or TV and start the KZbin app and look up conductor and engineer radio chatter between dispatch engineers and conductors and record it to your phone, record as much as you can some videos are longer than others find the one's with lot's of chatter time back and forth and when you finish if you have an blue tooth audio speaker pair it to your phone or computer and run the audio recordings while you're operating your train keep the speaker right in front of your computer or TV while operating your train and the effect will be like it's coming from the coms receiver.

[@jenniferadams7582]

@@cruzgarcia6173 That's a good idea! I usually have something (usually asmr stuff or white noise) playing on loop in background while train simming so yeah will have to try that!

[@floridiantyrant]

As a kid I was always so amazed about trains. Growing up I stopped caring as much but watching this video has made me want to re-explore why I loved trains so much as a child.

[@flitetym]

I’ve always loved trains. I loved trains before what I do now … fly airplanes.

[@slayer7950]

If you like trains why not pursue a career as a train engineer?

[@flitetym]

@@slayer7950 … I’m too old. I’m in my “sunset years”, but I found both career paths equally exciting. I became enthralled with railroading right at the close of the steam (“Big Boy”) era, and aviation just as the Lockheed Super Constellation “flew into the sunset.” This era was when America was at its peak, and seemingly could do no wrong. At least, technologically.

[@vikings7600]

@@flitetymI enjoy the idea of you flying a plane and looking down thinking: “oh cool a train! I like trains!” At the same time the operator of the train is looking up and sees you flying overhead and thinks: “A plane! How cool!” Both of you have awesome careers that still make me a 30 year old man stop and watch.

UP had a track about 100 yards behind my house in the foot hills of Mt. Shasta. It was amazing seeing the 300+ car consists go by during the summer.

[@BluGames]

Thats so cool!

[@wschappell]

It really was. They usually had three locomotives in the middle. Also the safety videos UP showed us as kids were no joke.

[@codyseybold7977]

Crazy watching that pass through Santa Clarita! The route is accurate, minus the big buildings. But that was cool to watch!

[@matthewbartley2746]

I loved TSW3 havent played 4 yet. I wanted to work for UP for years, never on the train itself but on the rails and switches and such. The guys behind the scenes who make sure the engineers can keep on running down them rails.

[@cpt.jamming]

Men I absolutely love the cinematic camera especially with heavy freight trains like this. It sounds so deam awesome

[@kermitthemutantlevitatingf7836]

You should try Run 8. It is a not very well-known train simulator that real railroaders herald as having the best physics for north American freight trains of any train sim. It puts TSW to shame. It has pretty bad graphics, but the base game gives you like 400 miles of track of the Mojave Subdivision from Bakersfield to Barstow, and the Needles Subdivision from Barstow to Needles. the other routes you can be can be seamlessly connected to each other if they are part of the same region. It is multiplayer compatible with a small but dedicated community and is extremely open world. You can run whatever you want to wherever you want. I strongly recommend checking it out.

[@heathen0150]

I play alot of American truck sim. But watching you play this game makes me want to get into it as well. Great video

[@BluGames]

Wow well thanks alot! I been trying to play more ats

[@steve12985]

me to i watch you because im getting tsw4 and you help me learn ty.

[@kirknitz3794]

I used to live in the Antelope Valley as well as Santa Clarita. It did capture the Vincent (Hill) Metrolink station, the Saugus Station, and possible the Newhall station. It also had the water treatment where the curve is and the old Thatcher glass plant and the Newhall pass tunnel. The trackage, freeway overpasses in the Sylmar area was fairly accurate. Now for the misses, Plant 42 and the Lockheed Skunk Works just north of Palmdale, the Palmdale Metrolink station, the tunnels in Soledad Canyon between Vincent and Santa Clarita. Maybe they are in there and just weren't included in your video,.

[@66pens87]

And Crazy Otto's haha

[@callsignscrottymcboogerballs88]

Yea I noticed the base wasnt included , wonder if that's on purpose , or they just didnt want to design that big of a building for plant 42 , they also missed the Carl's jr on sierra and Avenue J

[@jeromehoudeshell2666]

I remember waiting for trains at the avenue P and Sierra hwy crossing during my lunch runs in early 2000s. Trains were long and made me late getting back to work.

[@chrispasini5870]

Usually the relief Crew would be waiting at that location as soon as you get off they would hop in so I doubt the train would be sitting long.

[@BluGames]

They were stuck in traffic

I watched your video from the beginning to the absolute end. Without fast-forwarding it. I just left it alone and let it play. What a remarkable video you did here. Can you please do another video with some different locomotives maybe sd40 or SD 50s that would be awesome or some GP40s GP38s Dash 8 C- 40

[@Paughco]

Great post! Thank you for sharing. My thing is flight sim. I've got a hotrodded 'puter with P3D v5 and a bunch of A2A aircraft. Train simulation has always interested me. Used to read Model Railroader back in the day, and always wondered when they'd come out with a railroading sim for the home PC. I've seen a number of KZbin videos on the topic, but this one is the first one that makes me think about actually buying the sim and running it on my machine. I'll have to watch a couple more of your videos first. Keep on rockin'.

[@BluGames]

I really appreciate that. I am a flight simmer also. Hopefully u fins what you are looking for in a train sim. There are a few to choose from

I've been there a few times That grade crossing you mentioned out of Altoona is the Brickyard which is a sweet spot for getting trackside pictures. Cresson just after the tunnels is another cool spot and they do crew changes there and RJ Corman work out of there also. There are also hotel at the tunnels and in Cresson.

[@motocrosser784]

@BluGames honestly, it's not bad. It's not an accurate, but there are enough building to where it triggers my brain to know exactly where you are. Where first part of the long straight, road to the right is Sierra Hwy, or El Camino Sierra. It's been around since the early 1800s as a wagon trail for the gold rush Era. It also signifies the division of the east and west side of lancaster. On that same straight there is a gas station on the right. That's Ave M or "Columbia way" after the space shuttle. To the left in the same area would be skunkworks, Northrop Grumman and various others, housing the B52 and B2. Lancaster has a rich history of aviation.

[@Bretyllium]

You probably wouldn't be allowed to use that many engines at one time. Those stack trains aren't really that heavy. You have DP on it, likely you would only need one DP and a head unit pulling. Depending on diesel unit ratings for territory. Before you knock off the independent you have to notch and get some amps as you slowly release it.

[@jamesmaroon6161]

Hey Blu. I like this game a lot. I sure am glad you describe what is going on while you are driving. Oh also, I really like your amazon store with the control stuff. I do have a question about the cargo on your train. Do you have to really make sure that it is secured down so that it does not move?? But thanks again I really did enjoy your video.

See the Shasta route on trains simulator, classic it has the mount Shasta yard and track like they To add the Mccloud line from Mount Shasta into Mccloud but they would have the Shasta on this one with the mast the yard going all the way in to Mccloud with the switchback then Frome. Mccloud do the interchange with BNSF then you can take the change the Klamath Falls on the BNSF side and they should have the Siskiyou subdivision the original line that went into Oregon before they rerouted the line in the Klamath Falls. It would just make the game so much more interesting having routes like that where you don’t have to go from the feather river Canyon exit that and then go into the next scenario, you should be able tostart off in Orville and go all the way to Portland
