Hey blue! Used to live in the burlingame/San Mateo area as a kid. Just wanted to let you know, they use their horns all the time. Had many restless nights as a kid because of it!
Wow thanks good to know
You are seriously the best driver in the game. I’m learning a lot
So glad i could help.
6:30 That locomotive features blended brakes. Using the automatic brake would normally be a standard air brake, but in this case it is programmed to also activate the dynamic brakes , because they are more effective than air brakes at medium- low speeds. The whole process is automatic. The "hold" position is used at lower speeds, what it does is it releases the Brake Pipe, and makes use of the EP brakes instead, which are just as powerful as the air brakes but can be released in increments instead of having all the brakes released at once. I think the EP brakes also work at higher speeds, but to my knowledge they only use them at lower speeds in real life in case of system failure (air brakes are fail-safe). This brake setup can also be seen on the alp-46 in NY-Trenton, good fun.
Pretty neat
Is this a joke that looks like tsw3💀
Lol
Welcome to the bay area where I live. San Jose CA. It's really cool to see part of my city in a game simulator. And yes in real life the station does look exactly like you see it in the sim. Along with the scenery you see as you leave the station heading north.
Very cool!!
5:16 I'm from the bay, I hear a train horn in the distance about every 30 minutes to an hour😂. I hear it from the Amtrak line passing through Oakland. I'm sure its not much different on the Caltrain lines. I've also walked right over that last crossing into the San Francisco station, and have gotten spooked by the horn a few times.
Wow sheesh good to know. Im gonna blast my horn then
I’m from the bay too, I’m white tho
I'm in Oakland too! I've grown up with Amtrak and BART in the distance so it's weird when I travel to somewhere without horns
Agent 47 detected at 0:10.
I can't believe they made a sim for Caltrain lol. I was an engineer with Caltrain about 4 years ago. Blowing the horn is a federal rule, the only time we don't blow the horn is if the crossing is a quiet zone crossing. Other than that, when we go over a crossing we have to have the bell on and blow the horn in a certain sequence, long long short long. Your nose and ditch lights need to be on bright the whole time you are on the main line. You have to start the bell at the crossing X sign before you get to the crossing. If you are going 45mph and above, you need to sound the horn at the X sign, if you are slower that 45 its 15-20 seconds before the crossing. If we forget any of these rules and hit and kill someone, we could be brought up on manslaughter charges.
thanks for the read. i live right by san bruno station. a cal train just crashed over here not too long ago
I like the look of the train and stations but the scenery is killing me. After san mateo theres big buildings where theres not. And 25th ave after Hayward park is not a crossing its a bridge. Hillsdale is in the middle not sides. Those details feel sloppy tbh
Crossing signs on this route are marked by an X. They’re somewhat of a distance from the actual crossing. Usually about 10-15 seconds out from the crossing. In terms of braking, you don’t need to brake super aggressively. I usually brake about 0.7-0.8 miles out from the station and set my brakes to about 20psi. I dont rely on the brake pipe however (the red needle) because of the train’s blended braking system. Basically what this means is the train uses a separate braking system to reduce stress on the train brakes. This means the brakes lose pressure as the dynamic brakes are doing most of the work. I rely on the brake cylinder (the white needle). I usually set it to 100 and that gives me about 20psi. I try to hit the platform at about 30-35mph and then put the brake cylinder below 100 to trigger the dynamic brakes. I then release the brakes if I am slowing down too quickly. The brakes on the F40 take a lot of practice to be able to use them properly.
Gold! This is great advice thank you!! I remember seeing the x also
In my hometown in Ohio the rail line cut across town through residential areas. I lived a block from the Main St. crossing, and they used their horns fully, no matter the hour. There were two distinct engineers I could recognize by their horn patterns I nicknamed Beeper and Dickhead. At night Beeper used his horn to the bare minimum of the law while Dickhead pretty much was on a nightly mission to wake the entire town up. 😴 🚂 🤬
Hahaha hilarious and horrible well deserved nicknames
@@BluGames If anyone's interested, Rail fan Jawtooth did a video from there a few months ago featuring a rail oddity there. My old downtown apartment is in his opening shot. ua-cam.com/video/n60vMa3qXxo/v-deo.html
Only in ohio
with it being a p2 i’d see why you’d be upset.
Boston sprinter route will be amazing since we're seeing a redo of the f40ph-2c and I love the ctc-3 cab car. And I cannot forget amtrak. Thankfully it releases next week Thursday I'll buy that right when it comes out. Thanks you for making this video, I love playing peninsula corridor especially with the baby bullet!
Yea am really looking fwd to boston sprinter
I can't speak for San Francisco, but there is a train track running right next to my apartment building with frequent crossings, and the trains are on the horn all the way through town! We only get a handful of trains a day though, even in the middle of the night.
You would get fired I’m a train driver my self for the go trains and one of the drivers missed the stop and he got fired but I have not missed a stop in all my time has a driver
Only 47 comments😭😭
I really like your variety of transportation sims😁
Thank you so much
The f40ph feels like an emd but looks like a ge and yes, i know it was built by emd
This just reminds me of GTA San Andreas ps2 ❤
How do you turn on the cab lights for the F40 locomotive?
Long Long Short Long at every crossing, with the first blast beginning at the W/X sign and the last blast being held all the way through the crossing.
Thanks so much ill use this for now on
Would it be possible for you to do freight train tutorial for newcommers covering everything from control setup all the way to actual cold startup/operation of locomotive? I have not played train since 2003 and would like to try this one
Great idea! Let me see what i can do
How do you know the airplane was flying in the wrong direction?
The prevailing winds in the bay area are aligned with the bay, which would be parallel to the rail tracks here so the plane wouldn't intersect. Even if a plane was using the northeast-aligned runways, they take off towards the bay (away from the train station here) and climb from there.
Pre COVID I use this line from SF to SJ for SJ Sharks and Niner games 👌
Nice ride
Hey Blu Games have you ever got the chance to sit in the cab of an EMD F40PH locomotive before???
I love this game and the Caltrain! The Caltrain stops so fast while in emergency! I love it!
gud
Does rail driver work with the Cal Train trains?
