to answer your question at 10:00 Paul, freight train operators work in pairs; a Driver and a Conductor. (at least in North America) the Conductor stands at the end of the siding and radios the driver how far he has to go, when to stop etc. The Conductor is also responsible for the changing of the points, coupling and uncoupling of the cars, and so on and so forth.
In the States at least, the train stops at the siding and drops off the conductor, who then radios the engineer when the last car is past. He then serves as the engineer's eyes as the train is backed into the siding.
Two posible ways the driver would know he/she has reached the end of the track: 1: The driver would have another person helping him/her do the (un)coupling (in danish: Rangist). This person would carry a radio. Via the radio the person would tell the driver the number of wagon lenghts left, before the train reaches the end of the track. 2: The engine could be fitted with a remote control. This way the driver can operate the engine (that is preset to not go over a sertain speed). At least thats some of the possibilities in Denmark, that I know of.
Squirrel..DIRFT..direct international rail ferry terminal. And the 50mph sign had a little arrow under it pointing to another track..meaning it would be 50mph if you changed track. And reversing wagons into a siding is all done by the magic of a friend walking at the rear with a walkie talkie.)
I love the viedo, another method of reversing is that your last wagon is equipped with a FRED F-lashing. R-ear. E-nd. D-etection. These can be equipped with a radio transmitter that would relay information to the driver, or someone would hand on the bag and call out car lengths. You should do a video in 2016 with the GWR Castle, it's a bigger version of the Hall you drove before with a speed (in service) generally between 60 and 100mph. Great Class 66 videos though.
In sweden, before you can go with your train you need a paper that, among with other things, says how long you are (it's called information to driver). When you reverse like that you would always need at least another guy at the end of the train, called signal transmitter. He says how much it's left and what the signals show.
Hi Paul, HoundDogUk here, DIRFT is Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal. near Junction 18 of the M1, Tescos has a massive distribution centre here as well as Eddie Stobart
The reverse back into Rugby No3 siding is done using the Shunter's radio and verbally conducts the driver back into the siding. It is 4mph in any siding.
paul a lot of drivers in the class 66 use the "train length button" which when pressed will beep gain when the back of the train passed the point when you pressed it the first time, this is simulated in TS15 by pressing the y key
DIRFT stands for Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal. It on the M1 at junction 18. If a train has to propel into a siding there will be a shunter in the yard who will tell the driver where to stop. If there is no shunter then the driver will have a Guard with him. UK train drivers don't have to uncouple their train. The signal you weren't sure about is called a subsidiary signal; basically it gives you permission to proceed at caution. You get them entering yards or platforms; it means proceed but there may be another train ahead of you so go slowly.
+jock678 The siganl you weren't sure about is called a subsidiary signal. It means proceed at caution there may be another train ahead. You see them entering yards or platforms.
Paul, I'm from America and I know that the signal with the two dots was an advance approach signal. Also the 50 sign you saw on the mainline was for the turnout at that sign (the speed limit for any turning out train). I'm sorry, but you probably would fail your engineer test my friend. See you on Thursday's stream, Farming for the win!!!!
I like how they have the 2 block of flats (fairway and Green Court) in the background when pulling into Rugby I know that as I did CCTV /concierge for the flats in Rugby.
Paul its where a 25-30 carriage train from Scotland comes 3 times a week, Stobart trucks with skeleton trailers comes in and takes them from the train to the shops. keep on trucking
In Belgium we have smal white signs next to the tracks and a number indicating how far away you are from the last switch and so. So for instance when you pass a 3 you are 300 meters away so 300- lenght of train, is the amount of room you are past
The conductor of the train that is with the engineer (driver of the train). The conductor usually the one that help with that. Some time in videos you see the a guy at the tail of the train while its backing up. He is more like the eyes and ears if anything happen while the training is backing up down the line.
Squirrel to answer your question on how the train driver knows when to stop at the end of a sitting is simply that most of the time the conductor or Car man will be at the back,of the train giving hand signals or radio signals telling when to stop. But I live in America so im nit sure how it is in the UK.
There are distance counters inside the locomotive, and on that particular move the conductor would have gotten off at the switch and count the driver down to a stop.
Squirrel, the white light under the red means you can proceed but just at a restricted speed which in this case is 15 mph. Also, can't wait for you to do the first look for TS 2016.
The yard the train went into will have a yard shunter who will be walking along the track alongside the rearmost carriage that the train is propelling in constant radio contact with the driver.
When approaching a red signal, reduce to walking pace and creep towards the signal in the hope it will turn yellow. If the signal stays red, stop a few metres/feet before it.
Quick Tip: If you don't know what the next signal is and need to know early press TAB, If you get a message saying "Request to pass signal at danger denied" it means the next signal is Red, If you don't get any message that means the next signal isn't red.
you can xswitch cabs, also in cab has a ping on which the driver enables at the point of the cab passes and doesnt og off again until the rear of the train reaches the same point, this telling the driver how long the train is and when that pint has past
And Climate Rail is DTG's way of interpreting Less CO2 from Tesco Express trains, container services, where Tesco operate their trains from. They have a distribution centre at DIRFT2 or DIRFTII
the reversing is a bit unrealistic as the rugby sidings don't get used intermodal traffic usually runs into DIRFT, I'm a rail enthusiast and have been to rugby for freight quite a lot.
The two dots and the red signal is a call on signal.. it is a red signal which you are allowed to pass like being cautioned proceed but be prepared to stop
Pau,l the Driver would drive reverse into Siding at Rugby driving from other Cab,so he can see rear of wagons ,also a shunt Person would be at end of siding! In radio contact with Driver to verbally inform to stop as appropiate!
drift is near crick which is near Daventry, and Eddie Stobart is based there the company that is the rival of yours in truck simulator, and in the show Malcom Arnold's is the rival of Stobart keep trucking Paul aka Mr Squirrel
Squirrel, can you do some russian railways for TS? I know there are mods for russian trains, but I'm not sure about their quality. So if you find some spare time to play them, do a vid, please. They are quite impressive pieces of obsolete machinery of a dying country)))) Thanks!)

basically the conductor is responsible for the train and the engineer is responsible for getting it there on time

I think it's this way in most places.

Paul that 50 sign was if you were going to the next track
That replica of Rugby was excellent.
(I travel through it between London and Birmingham rather regularly.)

The 50mph limit was for the turn off onto the other track as indicated by the right-pointing arrow above the sign.

Nice video. I don't know a lot about procedures, but from what I have seen they have boots on the ground helping these trains in yards etc.
I like how they have the 2 block of flats (fairway and Green Court) in the background when pulling into Rugby I know that as I did CCTV /concierge for the flats in Rugby.

Squirrel, you weren't moving any carriages: those are for passengers! What your loco was hauling (or propelling) was wagons.
Squirrel, the white light under the red means you can proceed but just at a restricted speed which in this case is 15 mph. Also, can't wait for you to do the first look for TS 2016.

DIRFT: Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal.
@squirrel at 17:45 where u said it was 50mph that 50mph turning on to the other track.
very nice video love the class 66 DRS very nice sound
Never stop what you do, it is great!!!
In a yard there is always a worker on the back of the train or at the supposed stopping place in radio contact with the driver.
When approaching a red signal, reduce to walking pace and creep towards the signal in the hope it will turn yellow. If the signal stays red, stop a few metres/feet before it.
There are train yardmen watching over as they back up ^°^
U can use Train length button on the left control panel in the cab above Horn for reversing(like road runner in Railjet addon)
The fueling connection is in the centre of the loco body. Line up this with the fuel pump nozzle.
Paul, your current points are displayed in the box on the bottom left, in the top left hand corner.
There is always a break man riding the last car when reversing into a siding
No there is an EOT
Squirrel, the driver would have a Marshall to help him/her get into the sidings.
DIRFT is Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal
16:26 and the breaks aren't entirely released 😁👍
Quick Tip: If you don't know what the next signal is and need to know early press TAB, If you get a message saying "Request to pass signal at danger denied" it means the next signal is Red, If you don't get any message that means the next signal isn't red.

And Climate Rail is DTG's way of interpreting Less CO2 from Tesco Express trains, container services, where Tesco operate their trains from. They have a distribution centre at DIRFT2 or DIRFTII
because there are more than 1 people in the train at one time. and there are people on the ground that help too.
The fuel gauge is on the outside on the fuel tank itself
On the train there is a button on the left which you press and it tells you when it has passed the point you press it.
the reversing is a bit unrealistic as the rugby sidings don't get used intermodal traffic usually runs into DIRFT, I'm a rail enthusiast and have been to rugby for freight quite a lot.
the 50 sign has an arrow so it's for when your changing track witch you weren't
At the bottom you can see when the speed limit will change and when there is a signal.
"You go girl!
35:00 hi paul.. every train you use it in this game i never see the fuel gauge..!!!
The only way a driver knows how far back to go is that he has someone spotting for him and telling him how far back to go
Or an EOT.
I tried the 2016 this week squirrel, it's exact the same engine as 2015 had, no need to try it dude. :)
Paul, I think their is a person behine the train and using a radio to tell the driver when he needs to break
The two dots and the red signal is a call on signal.. it is a red signal which you are allowed to pass like being cautioned proceed but be prepared to stop
Nice video Squirrel
You wold have a backsman to guide you and you wold both have a radio so you can cumunicate
if u look at the diagram at the bottom it shows u the up coming speed limits and distance to signals ;-)
basicly you have "siding staff" they decuple the wagons too
Can you do a Pendolino video on the WCML or have you already done one
the fifty was for turning trains Paul you did not see the arrow on top or the fifty.
How do you insert the key handle?
Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal, DIRFT.
Pau,l the Driver would drive reverse into Siding at Rugby driving from other Cab,so he can see rear of wagons ,also a shunt Person would be at end of siding!
In radio contact with Driver to verbally inform to stop as appropiate!
what days do you do omsi
Great video!
Paul, there are no markers, you have another person on radio checking how far you can go.
+EthanBB Or as Jamie Morris keeps saying... An End of Train device.
drift is near crick which is near Daventry, and Eddie Stobart is based there the company that is the rival of yours in truck simulator, and in the show Malcom Arnold's is the rival of Stobart keep trucking Paul aka Mr Squirrel
There would be someone at the back guiding him
the train driver has a man in the back of the train that tell him when to stop
Or an EOT
Lol DIRFT, reminds me of iCarly, derf, the number between 5 and 6
climate rail is stobart rail (less co2 rail)
Hi Squirrel! Can you do video when you drive that passanger route (what is next to that rail where you drive). Olli (i live in finland)
I recognize that signal. red and two dots mean triple switch.
Hi Squirrel! Can you do video when you drive that passanger route (what is next to that rail where you drive). Olli
DIRFT Direct rail freight terminal??
There is a shunter moving him back
DIRFT = Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal
same in New Zealand Ron Owen
Those negative points for speeding are wrong, you never went 17 in a 15 zone at 18:37-18:38
Did anyone notice that after the drop off squirrel had the brake on
what graphics card do you use
Squirrel, can you do some russian railways for TS? I know there are mods for russian trains, but I'm not sure about their quality. So if you find some spare time to play them, do a vid, please. They are quite impressive pieces of obsolete machinery of a dying country)))) Thanks!)
is there any reason why in my train sim when I am in tunnels I can't change veiws?
*views
SQUIRREL. THE. BRAKES
you should do a passenger train on the whole route
A speed with an arrow underneeth it for a switch to another track
Paul, just letting you know, the audio was a little fuzzy.
EDIT: It's my audio
your distance from the next signal are displayed on the hood
the climate rail I think it is meant to be stobart rail
The fuel gauge is outside on the fuel tank itself.
Can you do a video when you drive the WCML passanger service
It's now Train Simulator 2016 :P
+Class380Fan this is 15 not 16 tho..
+Narciso Daniel this was recorded b4
is TS going to unreal 4? I thought 2016 was going to be.
+Exile 1 The next one.
+GoPro Clips (GoPro.) ill believe it when i see it.
+Exile 1 Yea, I know. In 2014 when 2015 released, they said 2016 would be Unreal Engine 4.
D.I.R.F.T = Daventry International Freight Terminal
The drivers have a special device to see behind.
pls keep cab lights on
The fuel gauge is on the side of the tank.
You are so cool
DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THE HUD?
I like trains (insert meme here) ..........................
***** yes turtles is love turtles is life
Train is love train is life!!
But that is how we do it in the US
