This is How Steam Trains Got HEAVY Cargo up Steep Hills!

Hey everyone back with Railroads Online! Today Hyce and I are going to deliver materials to the iron mine! Unfortunately the iron mine is up an extremely steep hill so we're going back to old school methods actually used by steam engines of this day!

[@daylightman8459]

You know, if that was double tracked, this route would make a rad caboose racetrack.

[@kedanoxa1236]

Agreed

[@wildshot8380]

yes

[@brayboss0871]

Yes.

[@Dinkfod_Q_Oglethorpe]

Do it!

[@offbrandpeanut]

Yep

[@cobysimmons502]

This has to be one of my favorite series by Kan

[@TheDustyPeaches]

I have to agree, I never realized how much I needed to see two real life engineers play a train game.

[@ihiminen3393]

Yeah kAN and Hyce make a perfect team

[@kankerdriewieler4338]

it is the best😅

[@killianmcgiv9902]

This is the way

[@danejones7051]

not hyce then?

[@jmb7137]

Just in case someone sees this and hasn’t done this already, at 47:25 about when Hyce mentions the Uintah Railway, look it up. The memes about trains are real. The chaos is real. The entire thing is insane and real. Thank you Hyce for introducing us to this beautifully insane piece of history.

[@deathwishdrang1780]

I made a mini-mallet by coupling two heislers back to back, having the unitah mallet will be awesome

[@henry_alphonse]

I was just trying to figure out how it was spelled so thank you

[@bryanbeardsley8648]

Also, if you cannot stop the engines on the hill, have a good time going down with loaded hoppers!

[@Alv_JVI]

I think they will get a Heisler for it…

[@zippythinginvention]

Wow. This was WAY cooler than I expected. How do you clue people into the fact that there's great history and science in here, with just a description and thumbnail‽ I hope this catches on. I'm enjoying it.

[@quazarstar1937]

I am glad y'all did this now so we can see the difference when y'all get those bigger engines 😁.

[@Holy_Moley]

Love the loop around. But got to try building a zig-zag railroad too. We definitely need some articulated engines on here.

[@cassi42]

I love this series because like, I've never cared about trains but this has taught me so much xD I finally understand why people spend so much time looking into this stuff :D

[@CookieMonster-nt8hh]

this quickly evolved into one of my favorite youtube series

[@VAXHeadroom]

Highly entertaining. I love Hyce's video of this shenanigans, especially the IRL insert videos - the one of the engine with the busted piston is terrifying.

[@HD2-01]

I LOVE this series, also very educational

[@TrainsAreReallyCool]

If tunnels are even implemented yet, you guys should just build a tunnel through a mountain a nd do a bunch of crazy loops to get to the coal mine. They need to add the ability to make curved tunnels.

[@notbob555]

Dude, I wish. Unfortunately that wont happen for several years if ever, due to Unreal Engine.

[@TrainsAreReallyCool]

@@notbob555 Yeah, I know. Unreal is both a blessing and a curse. I wanted to make the alpine tunnel :(

[@markturcotte663]

One of my absolute fav series so far. Please keep this up

[@bryanbeardsley8648]

Could do another train race by the iron mine with another track.

[@bryanbeardsley8648]

caboose race

[@freightersonthegreatlakes995]

I love you and Hyce doing stuff like this in RO you guys have to be the best duo ever

[@standardindian]

Interesting to see what All Kan cut out in editing compared to Hyce. Hyce's video is 30 mins longer

[@kraftyfox.2658]

I absolutely love this! Thank y'all so much for continuing with this game!~ Keep having fun with it!~ I can't wait to see yall get more Engines and trains, and then have more friends join, and then even MORE shenanigans ensue!~ Keep up the great work!~

[@diegosena891]

Thanks for making me feel a little better Kan. I'm one of the wizards. I'm studying Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering. I love me a unit circle and the letter i.

[@NSaw1]

*current intensifies* Lol same! I love electricity and have been doing my own studies on it for as long as I can remember. Starting to get into electrical engineering as I get into my working years. That one "wizards" remark by kAN cracked me up x3

[@DigitalJedi]

Found the computer engineering homies! Wizards unite!

[@daemonicone4098]

Thanks as always to you and Hyce. Great video, fun content, and random train facts. I am here for this.

[@Ghandralph]

The fascinating thing about this game is what routes different gamers use to connect the industries. I am limiting myself to 2.5% which less demanding on the engine but makes for a lot longer routes.

[@deathwishdrang1780]

I just have to stop at 18:33 and when we look up the canyon and see for the first time what you built, and, well, I expected it but seeing it is amazing!! OMG Kan you are awesome dood, that is some amazing yet again trackwork up to the ore mine. Its not all that unrealistic actually, reminds me of the old Copper Canyon mine in Utah (see Dale's Toy Man Teevee for reference). Amazing, just amazing. Hyce, you're nailing it too man, question to you both, on the fun meter of 1 to 10, how much fun do you two have doin these, cause I have fun watching, thats fer sure, love the sprial bridge for the win...i swear i was laffing along with you guys especially when you took off the brakes I do want to ride on your excursion train when then give us coaches...pleeeeese

[@kurofox1247]

I started watching like an episode or two ago, no idea what is going on really (sometimes don't understand what their talking about), but it's like some sort of a podcast with fun train facts and I like having this in the background while I play something. I should probably watch the series from the beginning

[@adammullarkey4996]

12:30 Britain's railways had a different approach to dealing with manpower shortages during WW2. The Southern railway, covering the areas south and west of London, mostly operated passenger services, but when the war broke out, they found they had a need for a utilitarian, workhorse freight locomotive that they could operate cheaply and efficiently. One of the methods they used to achieve this was the shape: the new design was shaped like a passenger coach so that it could use the automatic coach washers (like a car wash, but for trains), saving the manpower of cleaning.

[@thatconservativetrainguy3864]

Bro this by far is my favorite series to watch

[@thecringeinspector5636]

57:37 No. I love watching the choo-choos do their thing. Sincerely from Czechia

[@MoMoneyMeric518]

I was literally so invested in this I was about to go find more videos on this game

[@KosterMoltas]

Hyce's scream at 33:44 is just perfect!

[@northwolfjt5822]

I think the next investment should be in a bigger engine to load the iron mine without having to make 1 trip per car

[@Aussie_Man237]

Love Ur work keep it up also I like trains so I'm learning things from what U guys talk about

[@NSaw1]

This is honestly rivaling MM as my favorite YT series. MM has been part of my life for so long tho that it has that nostalgia and it ain't letting go lol But my goodness ive been watching evey single minute of your videos and Hyce's videos on RRO and just wanting more and more!

[@adammullarkey4996]

19:45 Don't worry about it; it's just an archaeological site, medieval ridge-and-furrow ploughing!

[@keimahane]

What a great episode, love the work required to get it done, you guys fun to watch. I think you guys need to be issued 64 oz Big Gulp cups for the sample collection :) BTW, I have been having a horrible time with the stake cars derailing, even on straight, no grade track at slow speeds. They are the only cars I have noticed that do that, maybe a glitch with the stake cars.

[@vanessa211]

Did not expect to enjoy this series so much, but here I am soaking in all the interesting history and facts.

[@masterblastoise]

kAN: "Pennsylvania is pretty flat too" me: *screams in Pennsylvanian*

[@GamingOnTheRails019]

The way y’all had to cut your lumber train into sections to get up the grade is kinda what they did on the Saluda Grade here in NC (Southern Railway(later Norfolk Southern)) to get up the grade from Melrose (bottom of the grade) to Saluda (crest of the grade)

[@GenericOceanLinerHistorian]

Never thought I would hear an experienced locomotive expert say “balls to the wall”, but I’m not complaining.

[@1SIMONdeGEKKE1]

I really really love this series man!!

[@SamFams.]

35:07 "I have now got my bar in joust mode" Hyce, 2022

[@boahneelassmal]

oh my god the under water gopro fire box video was hyce?!?!?! damn... youtube suggested it when it was released and i watched it and it was dope.... had no clue this was him! :'D

[@jdestro3477]

yeah i when from the sawmill to the iron mine and it is a constant 2% up hugging the mouton and Betsy and only pull two trailers up it

[@cheeseofpasswall]

Fantastic episode and amazing series

[@Darkenrall1]

39:56 Hello, electrical engineer here, i have to agree with you, in every class i was always thinking “WTF is going on here?” But it was when I graduated in telecommunications, in the field of signal theory, that I finally turned the tables and gave up trying to understand. Just accept that it hurts less.

[@fisherman501]

The topic of shoving cars in half reminds me of the TTTE episode 'Breakvan' where Donald accidentally breaks a brakevan in half.

[@zoeyzeebra]

As a Pennsylvania I must inform you that Pennsylvania is definitely not flat. The Appalachian mountains are mountains sr. They aren't the Rocky's but flat is the wrong description.

[@SonnyKnutson]

My vote was for Switch backs because I think that would look quite unique as well. But I am not well versed in the railroad universe :D So I am all for this shenanigans ^^ Maybe kAN could soften out that first grade to the platou a bit tho? Seems like if he starts the grade earlier and make it steeper faster he could get away with a 5 degree incline maybe?

[@Dinkfod_Q_Oglethorpe]

Cass Scenic Railroad climbs absurdly steep grades and uses a few interesting switchback ladders with literal switches. Pull the train past the switch then pushback uphill past the next switch then pull out and repeat as needed.

[@Aussie_Man237]

Rail road online is so relaxing sometimes when take in the views

[@douglastaylor43]

Woohoo love learning about trains

[@hipeopleidkwhatisgoingon]

i LOVE these long videos and with less editing.

[@jociesimms5170]

Yay! My favorite train duo is back!

[@carsonchambers5617]

Jesus 3000 degrees? When I’m welding even with gloves, jacket, 2 shirts, and my hood for long periods even 300 degrees feels hot, can’t imagine sitting in front of one of those fires lol.

[@switchtrack08]

I love this series, especially since I'm a narrow gauge guy myself.

[@ILEFTCAPS0N]

My favorite part is when kAN said "it's narrow gaugin' time".

[@abeldahlin1994]

Love the longer videos, just thought I’d let you know

[@luisbracht544]

In Germany we have a narrow gauge line, where they pull the cars up a mountain with the engine backwards

[@Driver944S]

what we need to do fills is a draggable ground work that can be expanded in both axis's (x & y) with rounded edges like the roadbed.

[@sheri9516]

Really enjoyed this episode Had fun watching accidents Couldn't stop laughing on hyce's screams 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@SternLX]

LOL the 0-4-0-2-4-0 ... we shall call it Frankenstein

[@SamFams.]

34:08 "Live a little" Hyce, 2022

[@pascal2085]

Kinda fascinating to see that the locomotives either can or can't pull the load. With a car or truck you shift down one (or more) gear(s) to trade speed for torque.

[@_kooob9214]

Oh kANny boy, the cups, the cups are calling. From glen to glen 'cause down the mountainside...

[@LazyDude915]

That cup joke got so old so fast, too much over using it😂

[@squish_nerd]

You should probably use your bell when crossing the other tracks at the sawmill. It would make it more realistic. 8:01

[@jonathanscanapico9753]

You should build another track but have at Sherman Hill specks .8% grade and wide turn. That way your ready when someone does a BIG BOY mod for the game and plus there would be a ton of loops to get to top.

[@behnkarrlsun]

Hyce needs "It's fine" merch.

[@Nabitz]

Water can only go up 10 meters before boiling so there would be a pump house then a reservoir or water tower then a 2nd pump house up to the water tower

[@wiffle4074]

DEVS make tunnels and a possible explosives factory to blow out passages!

[@ryanschmitz1897]

Sometime later a crash compilation would be amazing

[@seucos_garage]

WOOO 1 hour video!

[@SamFams.]

this would make a GREAT podcast..

[@slickrick8279]

Hyce talks about steam engines fire box as if they were hell .... like biblical hell ... the "worse" kind of hell

[@waltercochran9224]

Honestly i can't wait for them to take coal car down all the way on that spicey rail man lol

[@Goldfish_Vender]

I expect hump yards in the next episode

[@Sapphire_North]

"I will just, back up my hole into your bar" - Kan 12-10-22

[@pascal2085]

If you want a helper engine you should get the climax. It's not that fast, but it has a lot of tractive effort. Put this locomotive still has the infinite wheel slip glitch at full reg/rev

[@beanfunn]

You know, England during the war, they would put S100's in the middle of a large engine and the cars. But, they had small trains

[@LCOfficerUNIT097]

50:22 You don’t even need a cup, you just need a finger pointed at you.

[@j.wattswiththelspd]

CHOO-CHOO!

[@itz_lexiii_]

damn you got first, 2 seconds before me

[@j.wattswiththelspd]

@@itz_lexiii_ I always come first

[@Demonslayer20111]

44:30 I just see the cars left behind slowly rolling back down the hill...

[@artandmemes9190]

Could you do a run Zuma? The mine without the tender for the zuma?

[@Yull-Rete]

Instead of helper trains, you could have a siding for a spare train and then you have the fast train drop off the full cars and pick up the empties, and then have the big boys handle the train going up the 6.5% while the fast train can make a run back to the sawmill. (Assuming of course that you have enough people to run all that.)

[@deepierce5030]

Ok at 3:20 y'all were discussing the use of sand and tractive effort. Hyce said that sand does nothing to add to tractive effort but helps with adhesion on the track. So then why does he use sand at the museum when it's dry and only on a small round 1/4 mile track?

[@Per-MichaelJarnberg]

Kan gaming I think you definitely should use the Shay geared locomotive on your next video. I enjoyed watching your railroads online content

[@davidphillips1124]

i just built a line to the iron mine at a 4% incline but only had Betsy i had to run it the same way one lumber or two beam cars at a time.

[@killertom998]

You can watch it earlier on Hyces channel

[@kollinspencer847]

CLIMAX!!! you guys need a climax for this reason

[@campionesauthorities5868]

They spent so long fixing track that it seems it is almost winter again

[@YurtFerguson]

As they were coming down into the valley on the big bridge and Montezuma was just shoving Betsy along all I can think of was the Thomas the tank engine Chase music

[@temmieAckkerman]

Otaku boy: AHHH CHIBI CHU CHU BETSY!!! SUGOI KAWAII~~

[@theoncraft]

I didn’t know that you were playing with scrap man until now… XD

[@jesuscrust5846]

They should update the loading by making it possible to load 1 at a time, or 1 cars worth at a time automatically. For immersion/ balance maybe the player has to remain within a certain distance from the cranes. Otherwise it gets interrupted after the current load, and remembers how many are left to load after the player reactivates them.

[@raganusmc]

Marry Christmas kan

[@brettride4866]

In Thomas The Tank Engine at the quarry (yes I have a kid lol) they have a lift to raise the carts up a level. How cool would that be to have in this game? 2 lines, 1 train on each and you lift the carts one at a time :)

[@christheviolaplayer8250]

If you click and hold on the crane as it finishes it's animation cycle it will automatically start the next animation cycle on the next frame. that way you don't have to click a bunch

[@CubeMasterTV]

Montezoooooming down that hill

[@michaelmasi5220]

Tbh, making the route to the iron mine 6.5% grade wasn't your smartest move

[@YurtFerguson]

I don't know if either o you have gotten a chance yet but the type 48 is a great loco especially for the price, it's my current grade pig for dragging up from the smelter

[@cyantasks7129]

it looked as if kan's character pushed the train into the air while going down with empties

[@idemanddonuts]

Ooo take a look at the iron mine route I had! It's on my channel and is labelled "testing the big boi track". I'll link it here in a reply once I'm done watching this vid

[@186scott]

I feel like if you hadn't have stopped at the helper shed and was still going full beans past it you may have made it the whole way/most of the way with all the load
