Train Simulator Classic - Long Island Rail Road Signal Guide

[@schnilos5481]

Im actually currently going through the signal testing to become a locomitive engineer trainee for the lirr and this is so helpful for me

[@cActUsjUiCe92]

Awesome, best of luck to you. Input from an actual engineer went into making parts of this guide and into scripting the signals for the actual game.

[@levi6859]

Man I came across this by accident and this is so damn good. Makes me wanna replay LIRR now.

[@tomaszbrewka]

Very well explained. Great job! I have to say compared to this the German signaling system is a piece of cake.

[@mathewrufrano7833]

Excellent. So nice of you to create this guide. Will watch it several times, of course, and save it for reference in my library.

[@edwinjohnson7580]

This is excellent! I’m watching this again and then again. Thanks!

[@blakefilippi9612]

Thanks for this tutorial. Many new student engineers will pick up this information on TS as well if they have time to play it when they are not in class or working

[@levi6859]

What’s going on man, another good signal guide from you very nice. Question, in Train Sim World three is the signaling still the same for LIRR

[@cActUsjUiCe92]

The TSW LIRR signaling is broken

[@levi6859]

@@cActUsjUiCe92 oh dam. Thanks man. Have you had a chance to get over to the Station in Central Falls yet. And I’m going to guess that there are no real plans to fix the signaling in LIRR.

[@raphaelcassiooliveiraperei3852]

Thank you. ❤

[@kev5621]

Very cool. Any tips on studying for the signal test?

[@cActUsjUiCe92]

Know EVERY aspect, not just the ones listed here. And don't forget your Zone A ones. I heard a story of someone failing the test because they forgot how to identify either Approach Limited or Medium Approach (I forget which one).

Hi Brandon! This was awesome and I've watched a couple times. I have two questions that I'd appreciate if you would clarify to me. 1. Coming into NY Penn, when you get the yellow over red signal on the ceiling at the platform, to be followed by the red at the end of the platform, does one reduce to 10mph from the restricting 15? 2. Same sort of question with dwarf signals around Jamaica, I take verticals to mean 15, and horizontal over vertical or diagonal to the upper right to mean 10. Is this correct / appropriate? Not sure if it applies but I picked up the interpretation from NY Trenton. Thanks!!

[@cActUsjUiCe92]

Glad you enjoyed it! 1. You can stay at 15mph all the way up to the Stop signal. 2. No, they both mean up to 15 (even 30 in some rare cases). Just follow what's displayed on the ADU and you should be just fine.

@@cActUsjUiCe92 Thanks very much!

[@B.o.o.L]

Could you do another one on these with some easy ways to memorize the signals themselves?

[@cActUsjUiCe92]

Not likely. You'll have to find a way to make these memorable to you

[@michaeljordan3215]

I have my cognitive test coming up for Locomotive Engineer...Does anyone have anytips for the assessment and interview process???....I want this position so bad.

[@nokia3750]

How long does it take for a request to pass signal take to change before you proceed on a route? Is there a way around it as Iv had this thing running all day.

[@ryansharp9550]

do you think you could help me out with placing down the signals and getting them to work in game? I'm trying make my own route where I use the M3 and M7, and without signalling data, both trains are limited to 15 MPH

[@augsnow2067]

Thank you for this. Hey man I have a lot of questions to ask.

[@cActUsjUiCe92]

You're welcome! Ask whatever you like.

[@augsnow2067]

I asked u in ur previous LIRR videos. About laying track?

[@cActUsjUiCe92]

@@augsnow2067 you asked if I laid the track at Jamaica and I said I had laid the track for the entire route

[@augsnow2067]

@@cActUsjUiCe92 Right and I wanna know how do you lay the circuits on track and make them a certain speed. I’m always getting Stop signals in my cab signals.

[@augsnow2067]

Ohhh it’s code change point, that’s what I was looking for and having trouble with. I’m always getting stop signal in my cab signal. Can you help me out with this? Please?

[@teestrong3244]

Hey I’m currently studying for the S&D exam for conductor trainee do you have any tips as far as remembering the signals ?

[@cActUsjUiCe92]

Not really. It's a matter of memorization. I do not have any tricks for that

[@teestrong3244]

Ok thanks anyway this video was helpful though

[@diamondvision6477]

Gotta block out everything else and focus solely on memorizing S and D and try and test yourself on it as well. Many use flash cards.
