Judging from the cab mounted numberboards, these CalTrain switchers are former Southern Pacific units. Originally acquired when the Union Pacific took over the SP, two units UP 1289 (SP 2691) and UP 1290 (SP 2692) were sold to CalTrain around 2009 (don’t quote me on that year) and we’re repainted into CalTrain colors and renumbered to 503 and 504.
Finally once I’m my life I feel like I know a little more about one thing than my favourite UA-camr lol as a conductor for Cn rail this is great to watch and hilarious at the same time. Great video jeff. And a heads up don’t use the automatic break when your light engine (no cars on) use your independent break while in the yard. Just remember independent break is the locomotive break and automatic is the break you use when you have cars on. 👍🏻 cheers 🍻
I love trains and i love the fact you always have amazing content out for people to be able to enjoy during stressful times because i binge watched your videos today and i felt calm despite what's going on in the world
Love this, I work on the railroad and often run in these MP15’s they are some of the best engines we have. Keep up the awesome content I love the train sim stuff!
Ya, those ones I like or do the LA to San Diego route with the new charger and maybe even Amtrak, Metrolink AND Coaster. Also having the semi new cars instead of the old Bi-levels that go in the middle but it may be a little much, what I'm asking, yours I think they could and problably will do
The guys who do the cuts in the Yard are called pin up. I work in MOE Department and I always see 504 and 503 . I actually enjoy this route and also my aunt who works with me likes how it looks realistic. Its missing a few stuff in the yard but I wont give out information here cause I heard a story of Model railroader/foamer walk in with a fake badge taking few photos of the yard and The house
Quick tip: use the independent brake if its only you and a few cars, it only controlls the brakes on the your loco and any coupled directly to you, it's much more precise for yard switching
10:50 i went through the tutorials in Train Simulator 2020 and the independent brake is for when you are just the engine. i tend to use it when i'm having trouble slowing down and to maintain a constant speed. the dynamic brake works by reversing the polarity on the engine, and is again primarily for engine only. Automatic brake is the main airlines that run along any cars attached and activates the brakes on all cars and engines.
This game is cool to watch, really wish the devs would add dynamic weather and environmental fx like soft wind effects, distant factory and/or city noises, nature/wildlife wherever needed. I usually find that games with EFX make allowance for immersion a lot better. Glad they added the rattles in the cabin though. Also have to mention how well the texture works looks, believable and realistic. Definitely well done on their graphics department.
Game: Achieve a MINIMUM of 5 mpg. Jeff: I dont know the difference between minimum and maximum so I'm gonna make this 10 minutes longer then it needs to be and do 2 mph the whole video.
Jeff, love the vids, but please stop leaving the bell on. It is not required. The only time the bell is used is if you're moving in proximity of men and equipment next to the rail or on a crossing. All other times, please for the love of our ears, turn it off. Also, when you're switching, use the Independent brake as much as possible. It will keep you from wasting air and have better control of speed.
I've gotten the exact opposite response from turning the bell off, I don't think I can win either way. It was an active yard and you would have people around. I will turn it off next time
Jeff Favignano Id say flick it off too. I guess its realistic, but for the video purpose it can get annoying, sometimes hard to understand what you're saying.
@@TobiasRieper047 Thing is, it's not realistic. The bell is almost never used in a yard situation. It is loud (yes, louder than the apparent volume of the horn from most angles) and it really grates on crews if it's left on long, so it is used as rarely as possible. When railroaders speak of "men and equipment" they mean people doing construction/maintenance along the main line. A yard is a different animal with different working rules. The only time I've seen the bell used while in motion in a yard was when a crew was working next to the run-around track, belt track, or main yard lead (i.e. the outermost tracks in the yard). Even on the in/out tracks next to the mainline, use of the bell was pretty rare unless the crew didn't show clear signs they weren't aware of the switch crew approaching.
I've got the CN Rail Oakville DLC as it has my city of Hamilton in it. The DLC is great & all but me personally i find it lacking content especially when u play the sandbox map which is the Harbour section of Hamilton. It's great don't get me wrong that u can load the tankers with Ethanol but that's all that u can do there's no place to offload the cars. The other miss is despite the other cars on the maps u can't load or unload them which makes the DLC get boring real quick compared to some of the other ones.
Josh Mitchell we need some go train service even if it’s a run 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 Oakville to Hamilton or the vice versa. The got the train Consist from Sol Cal. Except the need the MP-40. But it might be licensing. I work at Go Transit I might have to ask if they been contacted to add contact?
@@cobra5087 i saw the devs doing a stream when this DLC came out & they were saying it's an idea to add both Go Transit & VIA Rail but for the time being it's not on the list of projects cuz they'd have to update the map & i think the game engine due to the complexity of the maps in the DLC.
Hi Jeff great vid! Also for loco only you would use independent, for a whole consist use automatic, and dynamic when going down hill. Dynamic braked are similar to engine breaks in trucks for example
Jeff favignano, I saw that you mentioned the different brakes on the train, automatic brake are brake that activate on the entire train and independent activate the brakes on the locomotive, I might also add that dovetail released a new north American route with Canadian National
@@jfavignano I even downloaded it minutes after you posted so I could watch it when I get time which will be tonight. Just wish UA-cam would finish notifications.
Just picked up TSW from Game Pass. Thoroughly enjoying GWE and LIRR. There’s some things I’d like to see on Xbox though like zooming in and button mapping. I’d like to see high and low horn on up down d pad tbh. Also do you know what Scenario Markers on/off does? Objective Markers are the only thing I notice disappearing. Can’t find out what scenario markers are for the life of me
Question to CSX Folks out here. What does N1 mean? I just noticed it in the AC4400 where my Throttle shows not 1 but N1. I find it strange and even with four thousand horsepower, I can barely haul a 33 car consist of empty coal cars.
Couple things I would change in this game, Otherwise it’s a superb game. One of the few gaming channels that actually understands the railroad and I like it!
These are the old-style switchers. You have seen switchers, actually, just in the form of a GP38 or maybe a GP40. They're pretty versatile locomotives.
@@jfavignano not slamming but it's very noticeable that the in game character/ cab view camera reacts negatively by getting whipped around slightly when you impact the coaches. In real switching videos they barely hit the couplers together, and if they do, they do at less than a mile per hour.
I've been having an issue on the console edition the train horn will work just fine in the first couple minutes then it just stops working is anyone else having this issue or know how to fix it?
I just started this game. It's kinda calming to me
same here i find it super relaxing
It's the equivalent of getting laid for me.
"Minimum" 5 mph. Definitely rusty. 😉
Nice to see all the details. The airport is very close to that yard in real life.
@Lenni M. San Jose International
The detail is very accurate. I’m from San Jose and have ridden CalTrain many times. Definitely makes me a little home sick
@@armadillerff Same.

Tyson Evans yessir
Very cool. Love the CN paint schemes
Jonny, you should post videos to UA-cam of your experiences.
Brick Tamland by that what do you mean?
I love trains and i love the fact you always have amazing content out for people to be able to enjoy during stressful times because i binge watched your videos today and i felt calm despite what's going on in the world
Have you ever heard of Virtual Railfan? You can see live footage of trains
🤠👩🚒🇲🇾🇺🇲
Love this, I work on the railroad and often run in these MP15’s they are some of the best engines we have. Keep up the awesome content I love the train sim stuff!
CalTrain MP36PH-3C "Baby Bullet," I dont know if you already did that one but I'm pretty sure you haven't
I hope the next US dlc is something we haven’t seen in TS2020. Such as the Amtrak Cascades line with a Siemens Charger.
Ya, those ones I like or do the LA to San Diego route with the new charger and maybe even Amtrak, Metrolink AND Coaster. Also having the semi new cars instead of the old Bi-levels that go in the middle but it may be a little much, what I'm asking, yours I think they could and problably will do
Yes that would be cool even for me as an German and for Germany some IC/ICE stuff
NorCal Aviation I hope they put Japanese lines or a Metro-North line
Independent brake is locomotive only. Auto brake is the entire train brakes.
Yep
i like how realistic he makes this as a massive train lover i applied it
edit thx for the like😌
I could not continue to watch after 8:48. That Bell was making me nuts.

Hey Jeff, I just got this game for Xbox, and I would love to see you play the amtrak, as I love it and think you would too.
he did
That bell was about to drive me insane lol. Love this game though
I used to work here at Cemof. This game is pretty spot on!
These episodes are so cool, I would love to see more!
10:50 i went through the tutorials in Train Simulator 2020 and the independent brake is for when you are just the engine. i tend to use it when i'm having trouble slowing down and to maintain a constant speed. the dynamic brake works by reversing the polarity on the engine, and is again primarily for engine only. Automatic brake is the main airlines that run along any cars attached and activates the brakes on all cars and engines.
I just found our tonight that it doesn’t matter how fast you’re going when you couple. I coupled a train doing 35 mph and nothing happened. LOL

I always hear the bell on . People work on that yard because that's a 24hrs MOE building . Safety is #1
I hope your day is going well Jeff, Stay safe
Work in a rail yard for Hyundai Glovis . We use two of these to push our car carrying rail cars

Accurate horn but a bit too quiet.
You wouldn't be sitting on that horn if you lived where I do :)
This is a good train, but what a lot of people want to see in Train Sim World is a editor.
Always love seeing railroad content on your channel, Jeff!
yeah independent brake is for locomotive single
Hey Jeff, Amazing vid! I just got this game and I love it already!
whats your favorite route
@@liamc7343 I like the Long Island routes.
More and they only use the
Independent break to stop the engine
Great video Jeff enjoyed the video
Hello Jeff
I hope your having a nice day even in a world that is on fire and dying
And I hope everyone has a nice day too.
Train sim oughta make a Ontario Northland route, the Kidd Creek met site all the way to North Bay
Yo Jeff love yo vids keep it up
It's called train sim world when are we going to get Australian lines and trains
The graphics on this game are awesome
I just forked over money for the NEC and CSX GP38's. I guess i know what im spending on now with the next paycheck
Hi Jeff great vid! Also for loco only you would use independent, for a whole consist use automatic, and dynamic when going down hill. Dynamic braked are similar to engine breaks in trucks for example
Remember the up coming speed change are on the upper right corner
hella trippy, i live in the bay area and always ride these trains.
Love the train videos. Stay safe.👍🙏✝️
Yes Jeff! You need to make more of these videos we as in myself and a few friends love these keep them going we are model railroaders is also
You can run in this game by holding down the right button on your controller
Jeff favignano, I saw that you mentioned the different brakes on the train, automatic brake are brake that activate on the entire train and independent activate the brakes on the locomotive, I might also add that dovetail released a new north American route with Canadian National
Just got this game, and I really love it! Well done, and high quality

That’s weird

I didn't see any CN Oakfield Division DLC on your playlist.
Love watching these!!

As you asked about dlc I’m gonna mention the great british railways one again. Bit of steam train action in scotland I think
Would love to see more! I have it on Xbox one and loving it
superb video Jeff stay safe :) greeting from France
Jeff is so great at train simulator
Wow, u in my home, daa peninsula
Yes trains
Happy Sunday. Hope all is well
I love the dlc that we have getting. I wish the Granger union Pacific dlc was like this 1
💓Jeff! I Didn't Know That There Is A Sims Train Game. Thank You Jeff 💓
It’s weird I’ve never seen a switcher in person before. And I’ve been to a train yard
These are the old-style switchers. You have seen switchers, actually, just in the form of a GP38 or maybe a GP40. They're pretty versatile locomotives.
He probably has been doing it since he started playing TSW but you shouldn't slam into the cars, especially when the handbrake of the cars is enabled.
3 mph is slamming?
@@jfavignano not slamming but it's very noticeable that the in game character/ cab view camera reacts negatively by getting whipped around slightly when you impact the coaches. In real switching videos they barely hit the couplers together, and if they do, they do at less than a mile per hour.
Ah that bell. Not a fan.
Been smashing out routes on Dove tail train sim 2020. Not sure my machine could handle TSW.
Hey thanks Jeff for the content.
Nice Job TSW is Awesome !
I finally bought train sim world on xbox back in February
I have this game and I want to drive the baby bullet

If we get a new line. I’mma hope it would be the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART)
CN guys don’t run the bell when switching in Aldershot. Oh Jeff btw the Oakville sub is out. My part of the world.
love the DLC and some ocrp
I really love this game
So game has E.R.A.D.? Failure to check switch for possible obstruction-----charge letter in mail.
Did you do stuff with the Amtrack Yard switcher??
I have train sim world 2 and itz GREAT
Hey Jeff great vid man are you thinking of looking at the Oakville sub for TSW 2020
I've been having an issue on the console edition the train horn will work just fine in the first couple minutes then it just stops working is anyone else having this issue or know how to fix it?
It's a glitch that happens in a TSW2 too.
Hey jeff i wanna know do u have the Canadian National oaksville suvdevision?
Get the Mp36ph-3c or aka Baby Bullet
That was part of the update
Hey Jeff, can you do a video of the MP36 on the peninsula corridor? Great Vid btw

Jeff I Love Trains 😍👍🏆🥇
