Sherman Hill stretches 58 miles between the classic railroad cities of Cheyenne and Laramie, Wyoming, crossing the Continental Divide at an elevation of 8,015 feet. One of the crowning achievements of America’s Transcontinental Railroad, the crossing of Sherman Hill was built in the early 1860s and ever since has been a mecca of American railroading at its best.

It's pronounced like Shy-enne (I live there.) Can't say as I've ever seen this game, but the modeling looks really good. That's the UP Depot downtown and looks very realistic. Actually it's flat leaving Cheyenne, then gets more mountains towards Laramie. Kind of curious if they have coal trains that leave Gillette, WY and head southeast...those trains can be a couple miles long.

What an awesome Train simulator. I live in Windsor,Ontario,Canada which is across the river from Detroit. I’ve got some cool video footage of the “CP Rail Freight Trains” going in & out of the Windsor/Detroit River Tunnel which is really cool & very rare to witness obviously. I’ve got both day time & night time footage of the “CP Rail Freight Trains” tunnel footage. I’ve also got a bit of “CN Rail Snow Plow” footage up north in Ontario,Canada in which is amazing to witness especially at crossings where they will normally have 2 “CN Engines” pushing the orange “CN Snow Plow” & sometimes the snow ❄️ is like powder & you can’t even see the Train come flying through the intersections & the guy in the plow has to pull in his plow wings at crossings. I have a few video’s of a “CN Streamliner Engine” doing snow ❄️ plow work as well. Anyways Cheers From 🇨🇦 🚂

Note: If you apply automatic brake AND still want dynamic brake just release the independent brake and hold it on bail off until it gets to 0.1 then dynamic will work again with automatic brake applied.

I THINK how Dynamic Brakes actually work is- the devices that drive locomotive wheels are actually giant electric motors (the diesel fuel just turns a giant motor that generates electricity that is sent to the traction motors). The dynamic brakes "reverses the polarity" of the traction motors to "generate" electricity instead of use it; the electricity "generated" becomes heat, basically like using a giant magnet to slow the train down. The reason the independent brake needs to be bailed off is because running dynos at the same time as brakes will generate enough heat to either melt the wheels or set the track on fire.

Its weird the game doesnt let you use dyno and auto brake at the same time. Its 100% done in real life. The key is you must always kick off the automatic brake before the dyno as taking the dyno off first can cause hard run ins or in bad cases cause you to get a knuckle. Love the vids!
Blu, you forgot to switch on Distributed Power and Banking Comm which was why you didn't get at the bear minimum of 20mph out of this.

hi blu i really like the upp train it was vary heard to getg the train up that hill wow1
Sherman hill is the steepest hill in the Union Pacific root from shy-enne
I hope 3985, or the Big boy can be recorded and added to this route. Not sure there are any plans for that, it's not something that could be done easily, unless there is a heritage line fast enough, and able to take the axle loadings,I think it would be popular.

Ok when you complete a timetable service, or scenario the first time, there are points and medals. The second completing the same run , it doesn't award medals. just some points. Do I need to setup a dovetail account to get the ratings, or is it the first that only gets ratings/medals?
Hey Blu, I can advise you on how to use the dynamic brake & automatic brake so they work together at the same time if you still not using them together
Im pretty sure dynamic brake isn't power diverted to the engine from the traction motors. Its actually diverted to a giant set of resistors and heat sinks on top of the train my friend. What u are probably hearing is the heat sinks working ther ass off to keep the resistors from burning up

That is pretty realistic. Your break pipe should be 75+ on the tail end before you leave, it has nothing to do with the power up the hill and everything to do with your train brake.
I know I am super late to the party on this video but I noticed on my playthrough that I kept failing over and over. I finally got annoyed and checked an actual online manual for the locos and realized the game never set up my other locos to "slave" the lead car and help push/pull. Once I did a set up on all the engines I was going about 20 up a decent grade.

In real life if your brake pressure is at 0 it means your train is in emergency. Realistically if you get on a train that is tied down the brakes should be charged and set to 70 ibs.

Ok a few things I was an “engineer” not train driver for 11 years on the Missouri Pacific and Union Pacific! Next I operated dynamic brakes and automatic brakes all day every day. This was in the 1980’s one would think they still work together. The only limitation was dynamic brakes would “drop off” below 3 miles per hour and as the engineer you had better be ready for that. Also I handled 18 thousand tons and above on a regular basis. You don’t start off in throttle 3 or 4 unless you plan to rip the train in two pieces. Beyond that you do a good job, I think you need to get a better understanding of real train handling.
Your conductor would have pulled the plug on you for speeding like that lool

Dynamic Brakes are also like the Thrust Reversers on a airplane
@kensingtonchapp4819
Жыл бұрын
They actually aren't like that at all. Dynamic brakes do not provide "thrust" rearward, or direct thrust to the rear. Instead of using electricity to generate rotational motion while in throttle, they become electrical generators which send electrical energy into a resistor grid which creates resistance and heat. Simplified, this creates a retarding force through electrical resistance, until rotation of the traction motors stops, but it does not apply thrust. You can't use dynos to move in reverse, for example.

In real life, trains are longer because of corporate greed, and nothing else. The longer the trains, the fewer crews (and less fuel) that are required to run them, saving companies money. 4 trains takes 4 crews, versus one long train requiring one crew between crew change points.

Hello new here just started watching was going to ask but just answered myself you're Not going by the "I think quote" real life railroaders don't think we know. Trivia question 3:30 given you have a Rear DPU Helper power doesn't that give off its own braking effort? Good thing this game isn't realistic because going into Notch 4 from dead start 4:55 on Tangent Track would mess up the Locomotive Traction Motors and that's just the loco Not going into Freight in real life, understood going to get a lot of hate but if you're going to name your game "Simulator" get it right the first time. Nice game has it, is it Real NO not at all Arcade style mixed with a little real but more Arcade. Physics are all wrong. Railroads in real life do a lot that DTG don't show or have in game, example before leaving Said yard either crew change, or new train all get an FRA safety brake and walk test before leaving said yard. Railroad Mainline Units run with more power than they need or have for other reasons as they can stop and power up another offline unit to add more power or braking as a single unit by itself SD40-2 can push pull No Joke 82 Freight cars by itself reason why locomotives are grouped together is to stretch out distributed it self-making its mass power larger. Reasons why Slugs are mostly used in yards because of low center of gravity and can crawl at speeds of 5mph pushing 200 cars easy.
