This the only person I’ve seen play this game who isn’t absolutely cringe or just plain unbearable. Thank you for your service 😭

[@BluGames]

Wow thanks so much

[@nickn7939]

Dude i know there is so many cringe ytbers for train sim it's like amateur hour, this guy has a more radio voice plus seems more professional

[@LDTV22OfficialChannel]

Agreed, one of the only ones

[@JohnC3POlerud]

I used to ride this train route almost daily to work and back. Its spot on. The part of the route that runs from burbank airport through sylmar?san fernando is the sketchiest part when youre hitting top speed blowing through highly congested traffic crossings. The train is on the horn literally the entire way through that part

[@zackmaracle3729]

This guy has the perfect captain’s voice

[@BluGames]

Thank you

[@FirstName-hr8jr]

That's the grinding thrill is coming into stations HOT! Dynamic whining, airbrakes screaming while bailing of the independent!!?😂

[@metromainline]

Little fun fact at 36:42, the original SP mainline alignment is the modern day siding. In 1992 Metrolink came in and created that new straighter alignment, but rather than getting rid of the original alignment, they turned it into a siding track. There was another weird split off like that near the current placement of the Vista Canyon station, but with the inception of the Vista Canyon station Metrolink just straightened out the siding east of the freeway to parallel the modern mainline in 2022-23.

[@loganfrancel9275]

That's a super cool fun fact, thank you! (:

[@jonathonsantos8306]

Was there used to be an old track in sylmar san fernando tracks close to the station? because I was going by those tracks, and I see rusted old rails hidden in the railroad crossing path, and I wonder if there used to be an old second path. You can't see it in the game but irl I see old rails poking out of the crossing path.

[@metromainline]

@@jonathonsantos8306 Yes, that was the old Pacoima Siding. Metrolink removed the connection in 1992, but eventually will double track the entire Burbank-Sylmar section in Phase 2 of SCORE.

[@expat5587]

And still after a hundred years it's still no stop announcements

[@BluGames]

Sadly no

[@ControlPointDonelson]

A lot of times in the US the conductor manually says them, which doesn’t work in game

[@axzyzzen]

Nice work again, entertaining, relaxed, honest feeling. I've been following BG every now and then for about a year, and subscribed to the channel last summer 👍👍👍

[@BluGames]

Thanks so much. Glad to see u thanks for riding along

[@mylesmartin6377]

I used to live in AV and LA. Watching this made me realize how much I miss it out there and taking this train

[@prostreetbeetdhd4586]

Looks pretty clean. With some of the things lacking though, its crazy(but not unexpected in these days of gaming) that some of the surrounding things other than the train arent completely there yet. Its the 4th iteration of the game and by now they should have a good understanding of what it takes to be more complete. Yet again another well made video brother. Hope things are 💯. Stay safe out here 💪

[@BluGames]

Yea Hey man thanks for riding along with me! You stay safe as well

[@CatBot007]

I always wondered what the f125 cabin looked like, Metrolink became very strict about no phones epically after that Chatsworth incident.

[@BluGames]

Wow no phones? Really

[@CatBot007]

@@BluGames yep on the ventura County line an egineer was texting while driving witch ran a red signal and smashed head on into a freight train. Could've been alot worse if it happened inside the tunnel it was really close to. 25 people died surprisingly all 3 people in the freight train survived

[@88keysLA]

I miss this train. Brings back great memories of riding to and from LAX

[@JohnnyCarroll-wi6tx]

[@jackwiegmann]

It would've been nice to see LACMTA A line trains at the depot on the left of the train as you're leaving Union Station

[@BluGames]

Yea that would be cool

[@tompsu9536]

I also agree with you that it should be that the game loads the whole map in the loading but we still have to keep in mind the people who got lower end pc, which would take many hours before they could play

[@BluGames]

True

[@JohnC3POlerud]

Union Pacific runs alot of frieght down this line into that yard you pointed out. The frieght line comes out of bakersfield, over the cajon pass, into mojave through palmdale and down onto the antelope valley line into DTLA

[@Olicatbnsf1234]

I LOVE this!

[@randomx9877]

Can confirm the station is accurate. All that is missing is the homeless people walking around in the station.

[@ktydeck]

I love me some Blu reviews!

Very entertaining channel Thanks Blu

[@connormcclintock6562]

In all my years here I’ve still yet to see a metro link that’s running all rotem cars and an engine in the updated livery lol

[@kirknitz3794]

The tall building nearby is the MTA building. The portrayal of the mountains is fairly accurate. They are brown most of the time. Hart Park is missing. Section along Soledad Canyon Rd in Santa Clarita is pretty accurate.

[@dexibugattihypercars4499]

Thanks for this video, it's as good as every video so far u from this video👍

[@BluGames]

Thank you so much

[@natdaugherty1145]

I’ve ridden that exact service so many times xD

[@dr.trains119]

I have personally seen the UP yard its really cool as well as the depot and they may want to ad jus like 2 or more locos it is usually pretty empty

[@trentongray1818]

Dovetail is one of the only producers with a problem withthe stuttering. Play any other game you'll have occasional stuttering from tiles loading in but not as bad as their games. It's an optimization problem that they have to fix both in TSW and TSC.

[@markwilliams8492]

They need to access the light rail train Long Beach- Azusa that’ll be cool

[@kederaji]

So weird seeing the Metrolink in a video game. None of the AV consists are this new, though.

[@kederaji]

12:30 Not as much freight on this part of the route, but the part from Vista Canyon to Lancaster is shared with Union Pacific.

[@BluGames]

Crazy huh

[@kederaji]

@@BluGames I still haven't gotten over stuff in my daily life being in media. So weird.

[@NERJ607]

Love these videos, convinced me to go and by the pre release.. wish me luck

[@jazzdub4958]

good luck, it's certainly a controversial release since TSW3 had all the potential to last a good 3 years with dlcs.

[@NERJ607]

@@jazzdub4958 I only tried Antelope Valley and so far I'm extremely satisfied with it. Still salty I had to pay for an entire game to get it, but its an amazing route, especially the southern section. As an MBTA railfan I would love to see our HSP-46's and Rotem bi-levels on the bos-pvd route

[@jazzdub4958]

@@NERJ607Oh ok that sounds great. Is the game solid enough to pay full price for just the standard edition or should I wait for a price drop?

If someone already said it sorry, it has snowed in LA before. Its incredibly rare but has happened

[@calebhill2410]

Watching this while sitting on a train leaving union station is surreal asf

[@BluGames]

So crazy

[@johnslyfield5096]

Assuming this is a weekday at 630 this place would be buzzing. I was at LA Union station (LAUS) IRL two weeks ago at 530 AM and it was a whole lot busier than this! Also it’s no longer the Gold line. The routings have changed downtown for all the light rail routes and they all have letters instead of colors but for the most part they kept theirs. The Gold Line was deleted and the A line (blue line) took the Pasadena section including this stop in the game and the E line (expo line) took over the gold lines north Los Angeles section Previous to these changes it used to be necessary for some riders to make two transfers. Now riders should only need one if they need any at all. And why are they metrolink tickets at the metro station they are two different systems? These should be metro vending machines. Ive used one of those machines pictured IRL in said visit. Also past the A line (gold line) if you were to walk past those walls IRL you’d enter the Amtrak and metrolink station area and B and D (formerly red / purple subway lines). Important to note that if you use an actual metrolink vending machine they can spit out both metrolink tickets and Amtrak tickets. Great work metrolink and Amtrak. On the other side past those walls there’s an alternate entry to the b and d lines and also LA Metro customer service offices (local transit). There’s also local buses and FlixBus at a transit center nearby. It’s also the HQ for LA Metro.

[@BluGames]

Thats cool. I have never been there in real life so thanks

[@Lakeside1943]

It makes me seasick !

[@pootispiker2866]

At least they fixed the EFCO shutting down every locomotive in a consist this time around. No, I don't need three C44s running on a 4000 foot train, dtg.

[@Mixxwizard]

Nice video. Hey, Blu, I have a question. Do you know if Horseshoe Curve can be played in TSW 4? After the 9-26-23? If so which edition of TSW4 would I have to purchase.

[@BluGames]

The answer is yes.. but horshoe curve wont get any of the new graphic features like volumetric fog a or clouds. But it will work with the new free roam & photo features. And any edition will upgrade u the same. If u only care about the okder routes

[@Mixxwizard]

Thanks for the reply, I just upgraded to TSW 4 Deluxe for now. I hope the Sand Patch from TSW 2 get upgraded to Tsw 4🙏. Keep up the great contents.

Yea i hadnt noticed it before either

[@Metrolink663]

That is the train when my mom got on it

[@BluGames]

Cool

[@jwrailve3615]

I know the devs said peninsula, antelope, and cajon all go together, I wonder if they’d make it possible for you to run through each one and once you reached the end of a route it stops and asks if you want to continue on and it loads up the next, that way it’s like running them back to back to back

[@jwrailve3615]

I agree with bundle dlc drops They need to add SF warbonnetts and BN cascade or even 70mac execs

[@potatoman451]

They are in completely different parts of California Antelope Valley: LA to Lancaster Peninsula Corridor: san jose to san francisco Cajon: san bernadino-barstow

[@jwrailve3615]

@@potatoman451 I didn’t know that I just know they said they all connected in one of there TSW4 gameplay coverages and I thought hmm that’s interesting. Not a Cali fan at all I’d rather them create routes elsewhere but I think DTG believes the world is only California and England

[@potatoman451]

@@jwrailve3615 there's much more than those 2 lol

[@jazzdub4958]

it's just how DTG should have done longer routes, with back to back intermissions loading up the next route and so on. But DTG have a crook mentality not giving you much back for the cost it takes to play them.

how did you do it so you start the timetable at 6:31? when i start it it starts me in the cab at 6:37

[@JohnC3POlerud]

Also the metrolink runs largr than average brakes due to the late hard braking these trains make getting into the stations

[@MorganLirette]

Well they have wheel brake shoes, and they have rotors bolted onto the front of the wheels that have pads on them for more added braking

So.. where's the rest of the trains. Union Station has amtrak trains (pacific surfliner and multiple routes). Let us prey they add them in. Even if it's none controlled it would be a nice touch.

The stuttering is a limitation of the unreal engine not the game its self. They are trying to sort it out but unfortunately its more of trying to work round the unreal engine problems. Talking of that red light at the platform end, how long do you usually sit at one . Trying service VC103 sat there for over 15min , nothing was coming in or going out everybody just sat there ? . Gave up in the end.
