San Juan Branch Line: Saddled with Limits

[@MrOpenGL]

A similar thing actually happened in real life! In the 1960s there were very heavy (18 cars) passenger trains that did the Milan to Naples stretch, passing over the Appennine mountains. These were pulled with an E646 electric locomotive, which was rated for 145 km/h. Since it didn't have enough power on its own to climb the Appennines, an E626 (maximum speed 90 km/h) was usually coupled in Bologna and was detached **at speed** at the summit, in the Great Appennine Tunnel, where the line speed was raised to 150 km/h One day the coupler got stuck and so the E626 was dragged at almost double its rated speed for over 50 km before they realized the mistake! Nobody was hurt, but the legend says the crew at the back was a bit dizzy...

[@RyansColoradoRailProductions]

certainly better than the time this was made in Trainz '04...

[@coolsteve3214]

I'm looking forward to seeing episode 10

[@TheNWClassA1218]

Very fine job indeed! Probably the best episode yet in my opinion along with the Halloween special!

[@SanJuanBranchLineTrainzSeries]

Thanks

[@Scorch04]

By far my favorite episode.

[@alfa1134]

So at the end, it was like steam locomotive FACE/OFF, huh?

[@PinkSouffleEnjoyer]

Man this reminds me I have a route for the Titfield thunderbolt branch that I need to finish...its not like I've been working on it since TS2010 came out...

[@bluebellsfan8704]

That was awesome! Nice work

[@blacktigercat1507]

I get it. At the end, they made it so that Ben has the locomotive of Craig

[@greenmachines777]

Excellent!

[@markjohnsonandorangecounty7093]

bit creepy at the end but it was hilarious overall, keep up the grand videos

[@frootloops1696]

Quick question: How did you get Ben on the flatbed?

[@SanJuanBranchLineTrainzSeries]

That's just a trick in game, with Ben spotted on a section of raised invisible track.

[@nancyledesma7465]

San Juan Branch Line Trainz Series sneaky sneaky

[@cherylmallonee4172]

the part when Ben was on the passenger train it was just like episode 16 of robot trains

[@Engineer5344]

7:23 straight out of rocky. this is oustanding

[@strasburg0192]

REALLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHATS WRONG WITH STRASBURG ?!!???!?!?!?

[@engineer6325]

Nothing, it's a reference to the Gettsyburg Railroad

[@SanJuanBranchLineTrainzSeries]

When did we say Strasburg?

[@Polak-dd7ds]

SanJuanTrainz You made a reference to Strasburg, or clues to it.

[@SanJuanBranchLineTrainzSeries]

There were a lot of backwoods railroads in Pennsylvania in the 80s.

[@Polak-dd7ds]

SanJuanTrainz Well, Strasburg is the first thing I think of.

[@peterrosenquist]

I heard 2 people whose voices I recognized Christopher Kovacs and the person who does that narration in the Roundhouse podcast.

How does Craig still be able to talk without being on a boiler

[@SPNGLovato18]

[@KorraDaTrainBuff]

The ending got me good. But how is that physically possible?

[@chandlerbranchrailfanprodu5928]

+icverano525 Ben's face was on Craig's body.

[@SanJuanBranchLineTrainzSeries]

Change a few bolts, simple enough

Hey Jon, why did you take down episode 6? I really loved that one!

[@humourtrainzepisodes123]

1:14 where can I download this big steam locomotive

[@fiercetrains4052]

Lol that was awesome!

[@egyhazibenedek2927]

Where did you download Ben?

[@jacob768]

I love it

[@yokimye]

WERE DID YOU GET 3254

[@LePenguin]

It used to be on US Locomotive Works' Trainz website, but it's no longer available, possibly because it was made by the same dude who runs K&L Trainz, and they have a new version of it

[@yokimye]

how did you get the desert route

[@ThomasFan3751]

I hope a future episode will feature Pere Marquette #1225.

[@SanJuanBranchLineTrainzSeries]

You'll have to look for that in our other show.

[@ThomasFan3751]

+SanJuanTrainz I'll look into it if I can find it.

[@MPT_Productions]

SanJuanTrainz if you would feature the 1225 would it be the K&L Trainz version

[@kadenrobinson7067]

MPT 765 no because nobody cares about you

[@pauljung7611]

hello SanJuanTrainz how are you guys doing

[@thatredfokker]

Is it a major coincidence that this resembles the episode from Thomas & Friends where Thomas told Gordon to hurry up, then Gordon purposley dragged Thomas behind him to show him how hard work feels? With the only difference being this one was done on ACCIDENT.

[@SanJuanBranchLineTrainzSeries]

It was unintentional when it was written, but we caught it during the production stage. We just kind of beefed up the reference to it happening to an American tank engine.

[@nationwiderailfanproductio9593]

18:46 watch this with your volume all the way up

[@antoniazimmermann872]

15:35 THAT REFERENCE (Strasburg Railroad much?)

[@engineer6325]

+Antonia Zimmermann That was what I thought, but actually its a stab at the infamous Gettysburg RR operation.

where can i find the MILW cars used for the San Juan Limited?

[@introvertkid282]

How did you switch the engines

[@IslandofSodorStudios]

Nice work and I was wondering, what editing program did you use?

[@SanJuanBranchLineTrainzSeries]

Sony Vegas 12

[@kupferbergbahn7952]

What is the music you use in the intro and credits?

[@sschwartz3]

Wait so they took Ben apart and then they put him back together how did he talk

[@SanJuanBranchLineTrainzSeries]

They only have to install certain parts so Ben can talk on another engine.

[@sschwartz3]

+SanJuanTrainz so they switched bodies in a way

[@sgc382]

Just wondering...what kind of engine is Ben?

[@LePenguin]

a B&O 0-4-0

[@sgc382]

H F McBain Thanks man :)

[@GR10Productions]

Wat version of trainz is this?

[@nathanielgenthner3272]

18:41 HOW DOES THAT EVEN WORK????

[@danial98]

was this made in trainz a new era

[@RavennaRailfan4070]

Trainmaster: And if I ever catch any of you sneaking into other trains like that I’ll personally send you to some back woods tourist railroad in Pennsylvania 😂. But I like Strasburg!

[@berkshirerailfanproduction5155]

Where Did You Get Those Milwaukee Road Coaches

[@RailsofMichigan]

I'm sure you have heated this comment before but I was curious to know if Frank Frisco 1522 will be upgraded to the new version from K&L Trains and also I got an idea for a temporary switcher K&L Trains has a freeware PRR 0-4-0 or a PRR 4-4-0

[@SanJuanBranchLineTrainzSeries]

We're going with something a little more universal.

[@BuckeyeNationRailroader]

If the San Juan Branch line turned into a Class 1 railway in 2018, do you think it would have expanded?

[@NSWSteamFan]

Maybe. It would be nice.

[@Jonny_Productions]

where's that flatcar from

[@engineerskalinera]

nice. but what is being said said at 10:42 and 14:20?

[@robertroman2738]

Are both the milwalkie road and union pacific coaches used for the limited service

[@SanJuanBranchLineTrainzSeries]

That is correct

[@baxtonia]

So Thomas + chugginton = this series San Juan branchline

[@banaanappel3672]

Kevin The hype train how?

[@baxtonia]

banaan appel because of their attautide

[@berkshirerailfanproduction5155]

Kevin The hype train no they just based of Thomas the tank engine because when they made the first episode chuggington never existed

[@baxtonia]

TheSouthernPacific awwwwwwwww man

[@baxtonia]

BerkshireRailfanProductions at 15:54 train master said for the tender engines to fetch there own train cars. But shouldn’t Thomas the tank Engine be in the San Juan west to help out while Ben is gone for months

[@robertroman2738]

Ar both the set of coaches Nathan and Craig for the limited service?

[@chandlerbranchrailfanprodu5928]

Why yu no use railroad tycoon and thomas music?

[@TheMNrailfan227]

[@PendennisCastle]

Is it me or did you update Nathan's driving rods and gave him the tender from the K&L Trainz NYC J3a?

[@SanJuanBranchLineTrainzSeries]

Brian cleaned up Nathan a good amount.

What music did you use from the part when ben is couple up to craig train

[@chandlerbranchrailfanprodu5928]

+Lord EBBVV William Tell Overture.

[@ajp-vj1mp]

SanJuanTrainz, I here'd Ben wisper something at 10:48. What was he saying?

Would you have an episode were the San Juan has a Day Out With Thomas. If you do have one I suggest you either use the Thomas model from Sodor Island 3D or the DOWT model from Sodor Workshops.

For legal purposes, Thomas is unlikely to appear in the show.

[@mptmpt08]

Where did you get the new model to Nathan? If you got it on the download station what did you search for the engine and tender?

[@engineer6325]

+M Turkovich Nathan's new tender is the NYC J3a Hudson tender from K&L Trainz. One of the best sources for steam engine content for Trainz.

[@mptmpt08]

+engineer6325 thanks I agree it is the best place to get trains. Is Nathan available on the download station?

[@engineer6325]

Yes he is, but there is like three different versions of the Mohawk on the DLS. One has smoke deflectors, one doesn't, And I think they have different road numbers. So you might have to dig a little.

[@mptmpt08]

+engineer6325 ok great.

+Denvertrainz The Ghost tank engine only claims victims during the month of October on that line.......but to the people of San Juan they don't exactly know that. For all they know, engines just go mysteriously missing from that line in October.

[@mptmpt08]

+engineer6325 do you know where to get the ghost tank engine?

[@engineer6325]

+M Turkovich The Ghost tank engine is from a website called "trainzluvr.net". When your there look for Norfolk & Western W6 0-8-0T. That should be it. Watch out though, it is a VERY OLD model and might take some tweaking to get it to work in some newer versions of Trainz
