Love this series and the conversations between two engineers talking about cool stuff but 13:38 reminded me of watching Grant, King of Random, doing this experiment and what a legend he was. RIP
Can confirm, this is how I'm laying my straight track and platform tracks. Just like up the edge of the platforms with the angle % and zero out circle mode. Straight as can be!
(14:04) "Excellent my student, you describe a phenomenon known as 'The Leidenfrost Effect'. It is precisely what you described, only that it applies to anything very hot or cold, with something hotter or cooler than its boiling point. It is seeing new light under science fiction, with scaled versions of this effect as a shield. Never stop learning Younglings!" -Master Snuffles, 2022
It's so cool seeing Hyce starting to blow up, I started watching his videos around the museum and it's soo cool seeing him doing stuff with people like Kahn
For your iron mine run, you could have a shallow track for a fast engine to bring cars in, and then have a shunt-yard to leave the cars for a strong engine to haul one or two at a time up a really steep track the rest of the way.
Absolutely loved the materials science/engineering conversation. Gotta love crystalline structures and slip planes. FYI steel as an alloy has varied crystallography, but the main ferrite phase is BCC (Cube with an extra atom in the middle).
First :P As for going to the Iron Mine, in my previous savegame, I built a line from the sawmill to the Iron Mine. Basically: Stand behind the Sawmill (north of the building), and face east. Start heading east and climbing the slope to your left (north) to gain elevation. When you get to the end of the narrow valley that separates the Wood Valley from the Iron Valley, cross the gap (way up in the air), and then follow the western slope of the central mountain ridge, with a steady 2deg incline (give or take). At one point you'll be right above the Freight Depot, and there's a very nice spot to actually cross the ridge and start descending on the eastern slope towards the Iron Mine. It made for a very scenic route.
My alma matter has the best railroad/lawless themed prank. Back in 1896 students from Auburn University greased the rails through the entire town the night before Georgia Tech came to town for a football game. Needless to say the train slid through town and didn’t stop for several miles, forcing the opponent team to walk back into the town on foot.
Suggestion; now you are numbering and naming all the wagons, wouldn't it be fun at some point to have two companies in the game? That way the names and numbers have some real use and it would look amazing if you have a mixed train
the reason they probably wont have seperate companies is because the money doesnt do cross-company transfers. So buying locos and cars would take double the time...
Regardless of which industry is chosen next, I reckon it would make for some good content if you each pick an end to build from and meet your tracks in the middle. Up to to you whether a spot to aim for is marked ahead of time or not.
14:15 i think that should be the same reason why you can dip your hand into molten metals if youre fast, also the same reason why water drops 'dance' on super hot surfaces its the leidenfrost effect, basically the huge temperature difference instantly vaporizes the moisture causing a small gas pocket around your hand protecting it for a brief moment
The nitrogen gas thing he was talking about is called the leidenfrost effect. Where a super hot surface ( or hot compared to the liquid) is either dipped in a liquid or a drop of liquid is dropped onto the surface and it makes a layer of gas inbetween the surface of the liquid. If you put a drop of liquid nitrogen on a flat surface it will skate around on the pocket of gas or if you put a drop of water on super hot pan it will skate around on a pocket of steam. Super cool thing!
Fellow train geek here; for an impressive example of the 'tires' on a locomotive being installed, there's a famous clip from Last of the Giants of UP shop workers setting the wheels of a Big Boy on fire to seal the tires to the wheel.
I really like this videos, railroads online is so relaxing to watch, and kAN and Hyce talking about train science is so interesting that it could be a podcast by itself, its a good balance between fun game and interesting learning
Hey Kan! Loving your railroads online content. Truly, you and Hyce make this game seem absolutely amazing. Even to someone who knows absolutely nothing about trains. Also you should go to the iron mine :)
21:25 Ready when you are!... hopefully I would be available. I am loving the series along with the tidbits of engineering knowledge you two are dropping and just tips for general life.
I feel the smelter would make a good hub to run to both mines, linking there first and running cordwood would make the most sense. If you want two trains to the lumber camp you need passing tracks when loading, also the run between needs passing areas or to be double track.
To make straight track you could just use circle mode instead of using switches, might save some time :) Keep up the great work, really enjoying the new RO series so far :)
Iron ore, the smelter can't do much without ore to smelt so I bet you'd hit the same issue as the log pond without ore loads. You could probably fill it up, but I doubt you could get output after to use it.
Its really nice to watch you guys enjoy yourselves and enjoy the trains... With education on material science and other related toppics livening the tedious parts of this game, it makes it a treat to watch.
I may have figured out why you didn't need to re-fill any water yet: The water level is going *UP* over time. Check out 9:00. The water level slowly rises while Betsy is sitting still. And then it goes up _faster_ while your locomotive is moving. I bet this was a debugging setting for the spline showcase that has been forgotten in the game code.
the water level shown in the ui is actually the boiler water level, not the level of the water tank, so i'm pretty sure it's just doing that because it's putting more water into the boiler
@@kANGamingthis actually isn’t a game bug but what I would call a place holder feature. The UI only tells you what water is in the boiler. In irl locomotives use usually two methods of supplying the boiler with water. The first and most common is using an injector ask Hyce on how it works cause I still don’t know but for the basics with no moving parts it puts water into the boiler using steam from the boiler with up to a 98% efficiency insane. While the other major type is an axle pump, which the Montezuma has. It’s just a pump to pump water into the boiler and it’s attached to the wheels. In RO to simulate this the have the boiler fill at a max of I think 5ml per second this a place holder for further changes down the road. If you have any questions ask Hyce he’ll give you a better explanation and I can dream of. I love your content. Love seeing what you do in RO and glad you ask the questions I’m to afraid of asking.
Hyce @36:00 :"im just throwing wood around"... sure you are hyce.. knew you two were real good friends.. reminds m of a MM episode where john bane says scrap man interesting, and scraps mans like "thank you.." and it goes quiet, and kan goes "whats going on, what are you two?... yes right ok"... haha
31:19 - Kansas City Southern back in the day had a couple shays that would serve a spur line that ran down the street (with 6% grades) and were escorted by two guys on horseback.
For the iron mine, if you are prepared to make a stupid helix, there's a tiny mountain pass to the iron mine in the bit of mountain closest to the freight depot. It was a great route from the sawmill.
Love your content kan, and am really happy to see you're playing railroads online again. I would recommend the iron mine first since you then have materials to actually smelt at the smelter
You do know if you use a normal track you can press 5 on your number pad you can keep it locked straight. And in future updates there will be upgrades to the cranes with level 2 you will have to bring workers from towns to work there and level 3 will be automatic cranes
What happens when you put your hand in the liquid nitrogen is called the Leidenfrost effect, I saw a mythbusters episode about it where they put their hands in molten metal or something
Nice Layout around the Sawmill last Time I played, my bypass-line from cordwood to smelter was from the entrance of the sawmill than left around the pond, parallel to the loading area for beams. But I build it with the old system. with the splines it would much more easier. And I concepted it for Tank engines like Betsy just from switching from front to back by shunting.
i am actually watching this as somewhat of a Podcast. Its really cool to just listen to you guys, you have so much interessting stuff to say, i love it :)
I haven't ever dipped my hand in liquid nitrogen, however I learned how to play a game called "coal-toss" when I was a boy scout. If you only touch the coal for half a second it doesn't burn you and you can volley ball it back and forth with your buddies. It looks way cooler at night because the air makes it glow brighter when you throw it.
I'm imagining a multiplayer world where there are simulated scheduled orders/contracts and central traffic control like large model railroads have. That would be an interesting and exciting event to take part in!
along the lines of science professors doing things that sound dangerous: one of my science professors had the entire class hold hands in a large circle, and he broke it at one point, then proceeded to stick each end with an electrode, shocking the entire class. It was a very very minor shock, didn't even feel like a static shock. Then he explained in technical terms basically how because of the travel distance, is why it felt that minor. Then he asked for volunteers for people who wanted to do it by themselves, and feel the MUCH greater shock. Funnily enough, only 3 people in the class of 30 odd something volunteered and did so. 2 girls, and me, the only guy brave enough to do so (i went after 1 of the girls, but SEMANTICS). What made that so funny was all the football players and such others who chickened out and absolutely refused to do so, despite those 2 girls and me doing so, haha 🤣
He was fun, he also 'sacrificed virgin gummy bears', a violent reaction that resulted in the gummy bear skipping across the surface of the chemical reaction with high pitched squealing, "screaming", and resulting in foam, kinda sorta reminiscent of a volcano. He also gave me a copper quarter, after he chemical'd away the silver.
The thing about water towers: You can fill a 4500 gallon tank in a couple minutes with a 14'' downspout off of a tower.... but it TAKES a BEAST of a pump to lift water into a tank that fast. Just don't mess with LN with gloves that could absorb the LN, most non porous materials will heat the LN fast enough to create a protective layer of N2 gas on the surface for very short direct exposures until they are cold enough that there is not enough LN evaporating to make the gas layer, however a porous material can possibly soak up the LN early and trap enough LN to cause some serious cold damage to items touching the surface of the porous material.
its called the Leidenfrost effect, the air pocket protecting your hand from liquid nitrogen, same effect is also responsible for "Burning water" which is where a pot or pan is so hot it causes the Leidenfrost effect and the bottom of the pot or pan scorches and then it cools enough for the effect to go away and then the water tastes like burnt
Saw someone mention RRX. I just spents several hours playing with it. It works on existing saves. But the best part is, you can throw switches from the map. As well as having a minimap allowing you to see switch position.
There actually have been rubber tyres for trains. Or rather, rubber lining put between the wheel and a metal sheet acting as a contact surface. Wear and tear was an issue with those wheels and they caused one of the biggest train accidents ever happened as well as the worst high speed train accident. Search for Eschede train disaster and you'll find info about those rubber tyres too.
13:40 the same thing happens with liquid metal you can dip your hand in it very quickly if you have your hands in water first the water vaporises and protects your skin. I have seen it done but you have to be really careful because impurities can stick to you and that's not good
I wanna see a building party and you building the helix bridges...I made mine and they were hard as heck to make, can you make a round bridge nice and quick?
I just ran a track to the smelter from the sawmill hugging the left side of the mountains at a max 2.5% grade, it takes a long time to get down but its awesome to look down at the valley, and you can run lower level locos.
Here's a little interesting fact. Since you guys talked about Morse code (cw) the IRL railroads in the US and Canada use the letter Q in mores code at rail crossings! 2 long blasts a short and long. - - .- it dates back to royalty entering a harbor. They would give here the right of way!

I love seeing you play Railroads Online, you play it like how I would play it, full on OCD lol. When this game has more content I'll defintley be getting it
Colorado School of Mines blew up the DU Campus after they defaced the gold dome on campus and students from Mines kidnapped a few DU students and kept them as POW, going so far as to kidnap a reporter who tried to catch them. That’s the way I heard it… I think I missed all the fun
You guys should most definitely go to the iron mine. Get that long route out of the way done and over with. So you don’t have to do it later. If it don’t make dollars it don’t make sense.
California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo has a well developed materials science department. Super fun activities. School motto, “learn by doing”.
personally i think go to the Iron mine first as its always a good idea to be able to get material first that way you can start the smelter and iron works after
Idea: go up to the iron mine, fill the carts or whatever and then detach them, someone is riding them and uses the brakes to slow down the carts as they are going down the mountain. Then, the train itself can go a different route, pick up more carts and fill them up at some other business while the iron carts stop at the smelter to unload there. You could combine that with a 3rd person running a separate train to maximise money.
It really caught me off guard when you guys suddenly starts talking about material science😂, I really hate that subject at first but it's kinda grew into me bit by bit, anyway great vids guys
I’d say you sell the tracks to both of them in the next episode and then buy the cards for either of them in the following episode after you set up the tracks to the smelter and the iron mine
about the hand in nitrogen, yes what kan said is very true.. DONT WEAR GLOVES WHILE TRYING THAT. the heat from your hand will protect you. keep up with the vids kan!
Hey Kan had a thought that you could throw to Hyce since he is part of the devs. why not add a switcher building that can control all the switches and points over that map, so someone could act as a signalman directing everyone where they need to go. (just woke up, mind is still in a fog for the right words.) maybe have a map in the building that draws the rail lines as there placed and makes the switches. could make it simple and one switch will change all the points for lets say corewood run, if you make it a loop track.
A little before the 14-minute mark Con is talking about dipping his hand into liquid nitrogen. Mythbusters did the opposite where they stuck their hands into extreme heat and it uses the same principle
This was such a fun one. Good day of operations on the CRAP! Where to next? Smelter, or iron mine? Cordwood or iron ore? The choice is hard!
Iron mine
Smelter
Iron mine
Smelter
Iron mine
It's so great that kan's playing railroads online again
Yea it is
Yeah. Although, he did two videos before on the same update. Still great to see 2 of the boys together again, as a railfan I love this game.
Its my favorite series of his
The GOAT is back!

RIP Grant, the true and og king of random.
Hello
Noticed you using crossovers/switches for straight track quite a bit, recommend use circle mode for strait track by setting the radius to 0.
yup yup, track work has changed kan, don't need to do it your "old" way anymore, though as usual you do make the nicest trackwork of anyone around :)
old habits die hard
@@Semparo that is sooo true ;(
Can confirm, this is how I'm laying my straight track and platform tracks. Just like up the edge of the platforms with the angle % and zero out circle mode. Straight as can be!
@@Semparo true… ya just can’t adapt quickly enough…. But circle mode is very helpful

The thing about water towers:
You can fill a 4500 gallon tank in a couple minutes with a 14'' downspout off of a tower.... but it TAKES a BEAST of a pump to lift water into a tank that fast.
Just don't mess with LN with gloves that could absorb the LN, most non porous materials will heat the LN fast enough to create a protective layer of N2 gas on the surface for very short direct exposures until they are cold enough that there is not enough LN evaporating to make the gas layer, however a porous material can possibly soak up the LN early and trap enough LN to cause some serious cold damage to items touching the surface of the porous material.
im glad you guys are talking about material science. its a fascinating subject that people dont talk about enough
You and Hyce given solid life directions while loading and unloading cars.. Nice!
Great series. Always learn something new with the engineering discussions you two have. Also like the "Hinterland Choo-Choos' Bit ;)
its called the Leidenfrost effect, the air pocket protecting your hand from liquid nitrogen, same effect is also responsible for "Burning water" which is where a pot or pan is so hot it causes the Leidenfrost effect and the bottom of the pot or pan scorches and then it cools enough for the effect to go away and then the water tastes like burnt
This series should be called "Railroads Online and fun facts with Hyce about real world trains every couple of minutes" :) great content
Saw someone mention RRX.
I just spents several hours playing with it. It works on existing saves. But the best part is, you can throw switches from the map. As well as having a minimap allowing you to see switch position.
There actually have been rubber tyres for trains. Or rather, rubber lining put between the wheel and a metal sheet acting as a contact surface. Wear and tear was an issue with those wheels and they caused one of the biggest train accidents ever happened as well as the worst high speed train accident. Search for Eschede train disaster and you'll find info about those rubber tyres too.
13:40 the same thing happens with liquid metal you can dip your hand in it very quickly if you have your hands in water first the water vaporises and protects your skin. I have seen it done but you have to be really careful because impurities can stick to you and that's not good
I wanna see a building party and you building the helix bridges...I made mine and they were hard as heck to make, can you make a round bridge nice and quick?
This is so addicting I just love it. This update makes the game 10x better and I just cant wait untill a new episode is out
I just ran a track to the smelter from the sawmill hugging the left side of the mountains at a max 2.5% grade, it takes a long time to get down but its awesome to look down at the valley, and you can run lower level locos.
Here's a little interesting fact. Since you guys talked about Morse code (cw) the IRL railroads in the US and Canada use the letter Q in mores code at rail crossings! 2 long blasts a short and long. - - .- it dates back to royalty entering a harbor. They would give here the right of way!
Fun Fact: the "Wild West" generally had pretty strict Gun Control. If you came into town and didn't check your gun with the Sheriff/Marshal/etc, that was grounds for an arrest at least. The fact we have tales like the Shootout at the OK Corral is perhaps pointing at something.
I have been waiting for a upload!! Yesssss
I could listen to you two talk about random smart people stuff all day
I wonder if some basic tricks would make it even easier to work with the curves.
Two things I would love in this game.
1 Character skill like being able to look at the map or loading more with each click.
2 Also telegraph stations where the player can use to fast travel.
14:00 Leidenfrost effect. You can even hold co2 ice on your hand because of it. Just don't squeeze.
2:32 "john railroadson" made me laugh so hard i started sneezing, holy c.r.a.p.
really love these longer and less edited videos
The talk of getting some players in and stuff be great fun
Just see the track and stuff first hand love the lay out
In 19:40 I think one should go to the smelter and lay track there and the other makes the iron route
Kan y'all, well you, should switch off to the back side of the fright depot so 2 people can unload at the same time
I love it that kAN finally uses the he cross peace correctly and as intended
what about the tires on the canadien metro
are they differant?
Will never be disappointed by a railroads online video please don't stop again
We in Germany use Unimogs for shunting train cars sometimes, they have rubber wheels and can pull 1.000 tons of weight
I'm so glad that you are playing this game again I really missed it and I can't wait for the next episode, thanks.

personally i think go to the Iron mine first as its always a good idea to be able to get material first that way you can start the smelter and iron works after
31:41 ah nothing better then getting a quick newsflash on some historical railroad gang violence
I love this series and I love your videos!
Idea: go up to the iron mine, fill the carts or whatever and then detach them, someone is riding them and uses the brakes to slow down the carts as they are going down the mountain. Then, the train itself can go a different route, pick up more carts and fill them up at some other business while the iron carts stop at the smelter to unload there. You could combine that with a 3rd person running a separate train to maximise money.
Sort of like the racing you did a while ago with the passenger cars or whatever
It really caught me off guard when you guys suddenly starts talking about material science😂, I really hate that subject at first but it's kinda grew into me bit by bit, anyway great vids guys
I’d say you sell the tracks to both of them in the next episode and then buy the cards for either of them in the following episode after you set up the tracks to the smelter and the iron mine
for anyone who is wondering, the effect that Kan is talking about with the liquid nitrogen is called the Leidenfrost effect
about the hand in nitrogen, yes what kan said is very true.. DONT WEAR GLOVES WHILE TRYING THAT. the heat from your hand will protect you.
keep up with the vids kan!
Hey kAN, quick tip: you can use W and S for fine throttle adjustments at 2% increments.
My county had a battle between two towns to determine which would be the county seat. The battle field is now a Kroger parking lot.
Hey Kan had a thought that you could throw to Hyce since he is part of the devs. why not add a switcher building that can control all the switches and points over that map, so someone could act as a signalman directing everyone where they need to go. (just woke up, mind is still in a fog for the right words.) maybe have a map in the building that draws the rail lines as there placed and makes the switches. could make it simple and one switch will change all the points for lets say corewood run, if you make it a loop track.
I made the run up to the iron mine dev rout and the bridges are fucked up.
Video 3 of being too happy kAN's playing RO again to do anything but thank him for the great content 😀
You and Hyce have just made a glorified train podcast and no I’m not complaining.
There is a name for the hand thing Kan is talking about at 14:05. It's called the leidenfrost effect.
montezuma and 2 betsys can get up a 2-3.5% line with 6 lumber flats from trial and error
You gotta get a caboose for every train now! Try running with one brakeman and one engineer!
I’m Not a train guy by any means, but I am really enjoying this series.
Get the Mosca!!! It's faster than all of the other trains, and has CRAZY pulling power! 12,000 pounds of tractive effort!
Guards(the guy at the back of a train) had whistles, flags, and lanterns to communicate with the engine.
A little before the 14-minute mark Con is talking about dipping his hand into liquid nitrogen. Mythbusters did the opposite where they stuck their hands into extreme heat and it uses the same principle
Ive rafted through the royal gorge and it truly is all Hyce chocks it up to be!
This was a good one! I think you should go to the smelter first and make good money
Great science class professor kAN. Really liked it.
