Long and flat? Definitely sounds like a job for the Eureka, especially when they update the game and allow it to go super fast.

That update is going to be amazing, I am sure 😁

I call Mogul job its a better mixture of JEREMY and CLARKSON.
@@robertbalazslorincz8218 Cooke Mogul certainly has the POWER
The signature line for the Straight Line Rail Co.!
Now we can move to the next step....
MULTI-TRACK DRIFTING!
csx42 watcher I see
It isnt working it just trows out rear wheels
@@Cro_man_ maybe with the huge hopper that might get added
@@NorthernNewEnglandRailfan maybe
So historically the way tracks were run was different per each railroad. For example New York Central RR typically ran on the Right side, where as the Pennsylvania RR ran opposite, Left side.
That would also denote how the tracks were labeled, so here in northeast Ohio, on the Double main, Track 1 is on the right & Track 2 is on the left, since this was Ex-NYC.
So you can create your own operations as you see fit.
@nicholas uszko,
If you don't mind my asking, where in Northeast Ohio? My grandparents lived and father raised about as far northeast as one could go without being in pennsylvania. Grandpa was a judge and knew everyone. A neighbor worked for NYC. We went to the switch towers regularly. Nothing like having the entire building shaking around you as a through passenger or freight came highballing through on the main, or a coal or ore train clawed by going to the harbor. There is a museum at point park, which overlooked the NYC, pennsy, big four yards, and the harbor with it's Lakers and tugs.
On another note. Not even sure how this video came up. Different kind of toy game site, but even in a toy game, would definitely not be into indiscriminately killing trees
@@bobpaulino4714 That sounds like Ashtabula and the harbor. While I don't live out there I know it. The NYC water lin runs along the coast to Cleveland now CSX.
CNW also famously ran left handed, which continues on former CNW trackage today.
Amtrak, Metrolink, Coaster, and BNSF run left handed for a portion of the Surfline from San Diego to Oceanside. Solana Beach is an excellent example of this.
38:02 - "It is the slowest or one of the slowest with the gearing but it is extremely fast!" - kAN.
I loled.
I assume you meant extremely strong.
i thought i heard that wrong lol.
What’s the possibility for running a sneaky/cheeky line from the coal mine, through the mountains to the south, ending at the iron works?
Ask Hyce
i have done it at 6 degrees
The closest I got for that was over the mountains in the south from the coal mine, along the side of the mountain towards the west going at 3 degrees down all the way for the whole track. Then I turned it north and around and had it end just south of the freight depot
Sounds like if you want direct service, it’ll be pretty steep, but doable with a strong engine (or engines). Of course, if you’re willing to switchback or make several loop bridges, it should be possible to “make it work” at whatever grade you can tolerate, though it may look ugly, or require a lot of switching, and not save as much time over going around as you’d hope.
@@IONATVS Yeah, I imagine it would look pretty ugly, though I am quite happy with what I made because 1. Its scenic, and 2. I'm near as bad at making decent track as Dapper, so I take what I can if it works the first go. I think I might try a steeper line built specifically for the gear locos to run, but I'm currently working on a shunting yard for the ironworks
I just got done doing a full double main line in the southwest portion of the map. I have a 64 car train that I just run in that area. The double main extends past the freight Depot to the north and around almost to the coal mine. Just posted a video of the train going by.
How is it so long
Edit: that's what she said
Daaaaaaammmmmnnnnnn
Man i saw all the hoppers going by and thought:daim that was a long train.
Then i looked at your chanel to see if you have some more vids of your railroad came back and the train was still not finished driving by.
Hope you will post some more seems like a cool map
@@teewithmarie694 I'll have to record more. It's been more of a relaxing thing to do but if there is interest I can show off more of it.
@@kabato48 ever tried loading all those cars yourself? 😥
And turn on comments
More trains!? Awesome :)
I personally made a direct track from the sawmill to those three industries bypassing the freight depot it's really useful and saves a lot of time I think
Have fun loading up them tools. Took about an hour for 5 full boxcars.
oooh very nice
Lucky's gonna get his own branch line! (talk about a lucky break)
Love your videos! So fun to watch. Keep it up!
I built a line straight to coal mine from the iron works. Requires to do two zig-zag (changing direction). On the iron works side it's 4%, but the we only go down with load. On the other side it's 3.5%. The Heisler can pull 6 cars with coal. But it saves driving 1 h around.
Also you don't need that much coal.
When you're making a curve for two parallel lines, you don't necessarily need to make the curves start and end at the same place unless the tracks need to be parallel on the curve for whatever reason.
Just have one curve start slightly further along than the other, and they can both have the same radius. They'll get further apart towards the centre of the curve, but they'll come back to being perfectly parallel at the end.
Most railroads in North America use right hand running in multi-track situations. There were SOME American railroads that used left hand running (trying to remember, maybe the C&NW?) and there ARE some situations where there is left handed running depending on the track configuration and the situation.
It would be hard, but it would be cool if you make a shortcut from the coal mine over the mountain next to the coal mine to the rifinary/things there
My Buddy and I actually did this on our map! We just ran a 20 Car train with a Push / Pull Class 70s last night on stream!
hyce has allready said there would be multiple angle crossover sections, i cant wait for those
I would love to see all 3 of yall running engines
WOW it really is a perfect Parallel Double Track to the Iron Works!
This is very good, id love to see you do this to everywhere
Haha I just saw the derailment referenced in the Rollercoaster Video. 33% odds! Keep up the good work kan!
this give me an idea for MM: train logging. build trains that can cut down trees, refine them, and deliver resource logs to a refinebot
So there is at least one railroad that Ran/Runs on the left in North America!
I don't know if there is more then just one that Ran/Runs on the left, but I assume it's the only Class 1 (Big RR Co.) to run on the left.
My local railroad! the Chicago & North Western System! (CNW) When they built their original line, west from Chicago they built a single track. They built stations on this single track for their commuter service trains to Chicago on the north side of the railroad tracks. Commuter service passengers usually use the stations during the inbound trips to Chicago only. So when demand was needed for a second track to support RR traffic, they built the second track on the south side, so they didn't have to rebuild their train stations. all the signal infrastructure, and track switches were built for this left hand running throughout the system. Even though Union Pacific bought the CNW in 1995 it was to expensive to change those signals, stations, and track switches so they let it be. The signals for the trains today remain still remain for left hand running in the former CNW territory!
1:20 actually here in Chicago, the old CNW still runs left handed!
Running lines differ from place to place. The usual rule is that Trains will run on one side of the track on dual lines. When it goes in single line it differs all over. Sometimes you can only go one way, others you have a token system and block systems (thats what they are in the UK. when it comes to 3 or more lines it generally depends on the situation. It could be split into several 2 line mainlines or it can be a 4 track with 2 going one way and 2 the other usually the outer line being the slow line and the inner being the fast line. like I said it differs from place to place and sometimes even a short walking distance away the system can be different. Hope this helps.
Whoa
@@thegametrain819 what? lol
kAN, you have a gift.....
I've just watched you make the stone wall (almost) perfect to the platform at the ironworks.
I had to try like 12 or 14 times to even get close. Maybe I had a bad day or something but anyway, it was awesome to see you get it in one try basically.
@@techno1561 With the track laying I understand it takes him hours, that's just the game. I am just very impressed how he got the foundation so close the first time
Can't wait to see some SRC boxcars!
A cool thing to do would be to continue the double line to the refinery and make it loop there and make the track split off where it loops now
@kAN Gaming Perhaps a loop line alongside the main loop at the ironworks? If you're gonna make two branches off to the other locations it would make sense not to block access to one or both lines if a train is unloading at the Ironworks.
Almost everywhere in North America is right hand running track. A big exception to this was the Chicago Northwestern (now Union Pacific). They ran left handed due to the positioning of their stations. Same concept on this line.
the Chicago & Northwestern RR used left hand running on their double tracked areas.
get a Climax and at least 2 more Class 70's for major train movements and long heavy trains.
the Coal Drag and the Iron Ore Train need more cars to supply the Iron Works with material.
you will need a passing siding or two on the coal route. so plan ahead for the future.
the Freight Depot should be off the double track "Main Line" where through traffic can run at speed.
crossovers on either end will allow trains to enter/exit the depot and access the yards and service tracks as well
the Double Track should end where the route to the Iron & Coal Mines split with crossovers there and at each industry to the Iron Works.
make sure there is clearance past the Iron Works for unit Oil Trains to pass by to the Refinery.
12-15 empties to both Iron & Coal mines and stage them there with a porter and a shed/water tower/cordwood.
10 cars to the Logging Camp and another set staged & loaded.
15 cars each for Lumber & Beams staged and ready to roll at the sawmill yard.
10 cars each at the smelter with Rails & Raw Iron stored ready to roll.
how many friends can you round up?
consider 2 per train you plan to operate. mayhaps some lucky viewers for extra trains and load/unload ops or switch manning.
37:57 " the most powerful engine in the game technically, it is the slowest or one of the slowest with the gearing but it is extremely fast!" -kAN
You stole my comment but I’ll let you have it. Peace, mate! 😂
@@frankrossdeutscher wait what?! I didn't see anyone else had this posted yet!
i was thinking this🤣😂
Just joking, mate. You stole nothing! :)
To deliver the coal you should just make a roller coaster like Hyce did but minus the extra groundwork!
This video is unparalleled in satisfaction!
Pun is very much intended
Great rail layout on the double track.
If you want to do more double tracks then sure there is the sawmill but extend that to the wye for the smelter and coal/iron line or have 1 line go to the higher iron route and the other line continue down. Also, the other option with the coal mine is do what Hyce did which is cut the line over the mountain, there is a perfect cut where he went through and you just need to go down the side of the mountain from there
If you wanted to make it so that you are driving on the right side of the track, you could've used the crosspiece. It would also be at least one place on the entire map where you actually use it the way you are supposed to, and not as just a shunt yard ruler lol.
Very nice
I've recently started planning building my lights the yard light I was going to do a similar thing to you but instead I've decided to make a while my main line
Coordinates would be useful so you can do the math easily for curve radius and stuff
“It’s the slowest but it’s extremely fast.” -Kan 2022
In Italy, driving left is the standart for trains. In Austria, they run on the right side, so in the BBT (tunnel across the border) a passover is necessary.
We've the same in the Netherlands when trains go to our *cough cough* lost province *cough cough* southern neighbours AKA belgium. Considering the big stations that're closest to the borders are on the dutch side, trains going to belgium will have to travel a small bit of the line on the left side in the netherlands.
This was a good followup to the cabeese insanity
I started from the Iron Works and ran my line North to a Wye directly off the Unload platform. No turns until I need to turn back towards the Freight depot.
in railroading its normal to run on the left side. (yes in the U.S. and Canada)
And for fast traveling the hand cart works great
Kan, historically in north America alot of rail lines were left hand drive if they are double tracked, it's because when riding a horse you would normally ride on the left side because that is how most right handed people would mount from the left. We also originally drove cars on the left for that reason, I believe France was the first to start driving on the right.
Wow the first cross piece he actually used properly
second, he used one the other day for the line from the logging camp to the smelter.
@@White-Wolf1969 oh ok
Awsome video
Make a route over the mountains from the coal mine to the ironworks and refinery which passes the iron mine and connects up to it because there are some low points in the mountain range. Trust me, I've done it in game
I would sneak in a little line around the back from the oil field to the refinery
Intro feels good
Groundwork in railroads online currently changes the curve based on how long of a spline you make. That was supposed to be a 10° curve and it's probably more like 15
You definetly want to buy the Climax, it can pull 24 Lumber and 24 Beams up a 5% grade :)
in europe you usualy drive right, in uk or in swizerland for example left. so its up to you
Looks amazing definitely a Euraka line. I'd have you and your friends get all the raw products coal, iron, and lumber and put all the products in the shunt yard then hook eureka up to all of them and make a run to the iron works and see if it can actually pull all of it.
if you ever need to do more parallel track, an easier way to do it is to lay the first switch, lay 6 crossovers, lay a crossover on the side of the last in the line, and hook a switch to that, that will be a little bit wider than your current set is
Eureka after the video YAEH I HAVE MY OWN LINE YAAAAAAAAY
idea: head on colision on a bridge, like that famous B&W movie i cant remember the name of
It only took kAN 44 episodes but he's finally setting up a track to the Ironworks.
Hey kan if you use your shunt yard you can combine the lumber train headed to the iornworks with the coal and iorn trains and iorn run a long train there and that will save you trips to and from the iornworks and make it that much more efficient because you are making one trip rather than 3
You can do some train racing on that flat track at full speed side by side
Build short cut from coal mine to iron work
Go over mountain
One spot of mountain is lower than other go from there to passing mountain
And follow side hill to iron work
Idea: Fill up all the train car's you have (maby buy more) and put your stronget engines together. And runn the Larget train in "RailRoads Online".
kAN: Don't ask why, it just works.
Me: Immediately starts singing the "It just works" song...
I would love to join you playing this game!
Haha 😂 omg you didn’t say anything!!? 😂😇 7:45
train racing :P
If you're going to do multy train runs, I'd say buy some more of the same locomotive. Be it the Eureka or the Mogul, that way you have a real looking fleet of locomotives.
hello kan
Time to double track all main now lol
You need to do a 50 car long train with 3 engines
You should use the handcart for stuff like this
thats what they did irl
Isn't there the hand cart? It could be useful for work around the depo and could also possibly be useful for shunting things (I don't know, I don't have the game, but it is an idea) or for transport of yourself
I'm considering restarting my world to correct a lot of mistakes I made on my first run (my OCD has issues with this game). But now that I know that the dev intend to re-do track laying, I'm not sure whetever or not to wait for that update before starting again.
I would like to see more people on your track. Will u make it public anytime soon
.
Love the videos keep it up my name is cory
New vid !!!
In Britain we tend to stay left but we also drive on the left so maybe we run trains like that because we drive like that?
Hey Kan ik it's a crazy idea but could you make 2 tracks side by side and see if you could drive a train on both sets of tracks at once. Basically if you don't make them identical it will end badly
01:10 Why don't you have some switches go right into that 90 degree junction so you can switch sides of the route.
I´d say get your strongest engines set up and make all the runs together, to get masses of loads to the industries ^^ you know the math and if you unload all of them, you´re gonna be fast on making money for more trains for everyone.
I hope some day to play together and be an employer of the straightline rail company.
And now you knwo, why Hyce built his "rollercoaster" :D He does not need to pull the full cars over the entire map....
For a moment I go t confused is it Kan video or dapper video 🤣🤣
Just put all of the iron delivery on freight depot and make a billion mile long Eureka train depot
In the united states its usually the right being the main direction, but there are exceptions to it. So you should be fine left hand running.
Here, Madrid, Spain, some trains go left rail, even when we go right side in trafic, with underground metro. BUT overground metro, is reversed. And the Cercanias lines are allways right rail.
So... ¿Each Region to each own?
By the way I got my computer and I've been playing railroads online and it's pretty fun not the greatest railroad Builder you know how it is when you first start out takes practice I'm getting better I've only played it for a couple of days it's pretty fun
Maybe you should find out if the freight Depot is double-sided like you can put a track on the other side of the freight Depot so you don't have to do a loop see if that actually works just lay track on the other side of the freight Depot and see if Will unload a load then you don't have to make a loop
Nice.,
Have you tryed the RROx railroads online extended tool to make track yet?
i believe inbound and outbound is th terms you were looking for?
Inbound and outbound are the tracks
Is there a way to download your line? I bought the game from watching your videos but i have found i cant lay track to save my soul.... I think i would love to drive trains on your rail
You're using freight depot as left hand drive, that's why this new double line is also left hand drive.
Hello
Hey Kan can you get the Devs to add a stem locomotive the locomotive is a Shay is a gerd trains
Only if you could do superelavated track
00:50 Kan, Inbound and Outbound.
