Hey Jeff love your stuff just a pro tip. You are right “slam the brakes”. Stand on em. Full set up.The passengers won’t care much and they get changed often. And don’t go to idle if you think youll be short then pull on em and scoot up. They’ll stink a while but you’ll be more precise. Plus use your dynamic brakes in combination you’ll rarely need to use your service brake. But you’ll find a style as you go and a rhythm. It takes years to learn the territory. The old guys around can run a train blindfolded and backwards. They remember silly stuff about the territory and have ran it so long they know that at the old red car set 10 lbs and get in the dynamics and they’ll be perfect every single time. At every platform. Especially when you don’t have the room to mess up. Short platforms or running only a two car setup which basically means only using the head 2 cars or 3 or 4. You have to have all doors on the platform otherwise the passengers get all frazzled and call commuter control to complain. Lil rant but truth. -Engineer/conductor East west main Metra and freight Union Pacific

Jeff, tips about signaling with the horn and bell in case you forgot or didn't know: departing: two short horn blasts and the bell until up to speed stopping: bell when approaching stop point until stopped fully stopped then one horn blast approaching station or crossing: two long blasts with signaling at crossings, the last blast should be on the crossing itself tip for passenger trains: keep throttle on 1 with brakes applied on lap

@North Coast Rail Productions just some tips that's all

Unsure if you know but for future reference: Trains 1XX= Local, makes all stops Trains 2XX = Limited stops, depending on route Trains 3XX= bullet/express service, few stops, lots of open throttle -a Caltrain commuter

I really hope they make a Metra route. Especially since the models of the engine and coaches are almost identical to Cal Train. Just gotta change the paint scheme and make a Chicago route.

This reminds me so much of when I lived in Illinois, Metra used the same F40PH and passenger cars. This is modeled so well and the sounds are spot on! The announcement of the doors closing was my favorite part of being on the train!

Looks and sounds just like the real Caltrain. Pretty cool

Man...this brings back some memories. I commuted on Caltrain from Millbrae to Menlo Park for six years and then from Millbrae to San Jose for another five years. These are old cars but are modeled 100%. I used to sit on the upper level, especially on game days because the trains were packed. And yes Jeff, Millbrae is a huge station because it connects with BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) and is also the station the services SFO (International Airport). But all the stops are modeled accurately. The station in Redwood City has a Safeway right next to the tracks and all the buildings are perfect. Loving this!

I used to take the Caltrain from San Jose to San Francisco but then I moved to Texas

I was an engineer on this route when Amtrak ran it, I’m impressed at how well the route and equipment was rendered. I need to pick up a copy of this to evaluate it. I’m a bit behind on things, lol. Braking into Redwood City wed would generally wait to after that first crossing going north on the real thing, increases on wet surfaces when it rains.

That is literally the most real thing I've seen! I've taken the Caltrain to the Giants game every time I go to the game. The sounds, the door warning, the stations even are more accurate than I ever thought it would be. I've never seen Caltrain in a game before too! This is super cool! (Millbrae is a very big station, I believe I read once it is one of, if not the, largest intramodal station west of the Mississippi.)

The reason the train doesn’t go right away is because you put the throttle up when the breaks are still releasing. You can tell by the gauge in the bottom right.

Pay more attention to the amount of air pressure your letting in for the lap when you hold to service. That will decide how much lap break pressure is added and the rate of which it brings your speed down.

Just a little sidenote, Jeff. PCS stands for "pneumatic control switch" which locks out throttle controls and your reverser controls as well. In the event of a penalty brake (Full emergency) application, the controls have to be reset and the brake pipe needs to be recharged to fully release the brakes on the entire train.

This is amazing! Thanks Jeff for sharing. This is real a treat to see and hear your hometown train in a video game.

Thanks for posting this. We used to live in Mission Bay and my 3 year old son loved watching Caltrain come everyday. He really got a kick out of this.

10:27 is my home station it’s really cool to see it in this video

Man all the sounds are perfect they sound exactly like Caltrain in real life.

Train sim world 2020 is one of my most most favorite game in the world. But still love your train videos. Keep it up

gotta say pretty cool when you have to stop and pick up passengers at multiple stops and love the high speed fly byes . thanks jeff

Loving the vids bud. You've taught me to fly planes in xplane. Now I'm looking forward to this game being cheap enough. Lol

Live in the bay Area, San Jose to be exact. Yea these trains use both the regular brakes and the Dynamic brakes which is why you will hear the engine rev up while you are braking.

Loving the train sim world videos

I live in Belmont it is cool to see these trains run through the town

Picked up TSW 2020 the other day on Humble Bundle which was on sale as well as the West Somerset and the Ruhr-Sieg Nord: Hagan DLC's.

Caltrain bought sounder bombardier cars back in 2001 or 2002, they bought coaches and cab cars numbered 112-118

That is the Brown Streak Railroad that has the end of line in Doherty. For a 2004 game GTA SA made a real god job.

I swear to Pete Jeff, if you don't shut off that freakin' bell, I'm gonna come to your house and lock down the B key. :D The bell comes on every time you hit the horn, so you have to remember to shut it off. You'd get thrown off the board pretty quick if you left it on as much as you do. Your conductors would make sure of it. BTW, once you set the parking brake, release the automatic brake. That way you can pull out faster.

There's only one quiet zone on the Caltrain line, Fair Oaks Lane in Atherton (which appears at 4:32)

Hey Jeff love the train sim and bus sim videos very much👍🏾❤️ also bus simulator 18 is coming out on console next week and I’ve pre ordered it just because I’ve enjoyed watching you play it so much that I wanted to give it try so keep up the good work man you’re the best

@Jeff Favigano, if you like the CalTrain, checkout the Chicago Metra Trains. Same set up and when I lived there, rode it many times.

When I play train sim world 2020 I brake early so that the train can go slow and stop at the station at the right time

I've worked on Cal-train before doing survey/statistical work. Recording passenger activity at each stop.

Also congrats to you for the 1mnsubs!

More TSW! Love the TSW! And the FivePD!

I’ll let you do it your way but the last long horn is supposed to be in the crossing, everything else is before it while approaching

I wish dovetail games would make a game or add on or something for the Los Angeles/Long Beach Metro train route It would be so cool

I hope there be a Go train map soon it cool to see the greater Toronto area and see the lines I rode on as a kid

Great video, I have been to the actual caltrain before

Love the train sim vids

Great vid bud

Nice! Used to commute with Caltrain.

there is a button in the cab of that gallery car cab right by the HEP power on and off for manual crossing pulse that's how u make it flash

The railcar and engine layout is the exact same as Metra in Chicago, even the bell sounds the same.

That’s what I was thinking

They should do another route for The Racetrack Aurora - Chicago, or just make it an update of the livery and make the route, I think that would be cool since CalTrain and Metra operate the same fleet in this condition.

Yeah I like the horn too

I love this scenario. (Despite the fact i dinged the buffer in San Francisco 😅)

Hey Jeff can you do some more of the Caltrain on the next episode

Hey jeff, I've noticed you've forgot the ditch lights while your operating the passenger train...

Hi Jeff you are my favorite KZreadr ever

Crossing lights will make them flash back and forth

I am so glad that this is just the simulator. I enjoy watching your videos but as an engineer for Union Pacific I have to say you have made so many mistakes in your videos I don't know where to start. I'll do you one better, I won't start at all. I really think that you should talk to a few engineers and get a sense of what it takes to move a locomotive. Here's a hint, going straight to 8 is a good way to break a knuckle and slam your passengers into their seats or into the laps of other passengers. Another hint Dynamic brake is your friend in a passenger train. It is used to slow a train and with passenger trains very little Dynamic brake could burn a lot of speed if done correctly

I'm getting South Florida's TRI-RAIL vibes out of this ...

I don’t know if the physics for that set are set for graduated release or not. If so go to release then back to lap and let a little braking force off.

When you are 0.5 from the station, decrease your speed and braking power

This guy can literally do anything to do with travelling

It's just like the real Caltrain

Greatvid

I have a question, I'm trying to learn how to drive in train sim world, can you tell me what the lap break does?

Operating the train from the car cab looks hilarious

Any one know if you get the deluxe edition what does it come with all maps or no please let me know

Jeff, if you like Train Sim World, I have just uploaded some Train Sim World Videos, I do not know the routes very well, however I try to do everything as close to realistically as possible.

Jeff, you're a funny guy. You do some of the best stuff on youtube, I love it... Gaints are rubbish though....lol

Looks great, but wish the loco sound was a bit more robust.

You are slowing down and way too early that train stops in a dime also at 30:50 why you slowing down a mile and a 1/2 before the 50 mile zone but you're stopping in a station anyway.
