Helper on the Curve - EMD GP7 Pennsy (Train Simulator 2014)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 жов 2024
- In this scenario I drive an EMD GP7 Pennsy, coupling up to the back of a large freight train to help out on a delivery around the famous Horseshoe Curve. But it quickly turns into something more once the driver of the lead train takes ill.

I play a lot of train simulator 2014 but near the end when you said "where do I actually stop at, I really don't know?" On the mini map below, on the orange line, there is a red arrow pointing down. That is where you stop at. Great videos!!
Some yellow signals in the United States mean 30 MPH and some mean 15 MPH. I can't remember which ones are which, but that is the reason you lost points for speeding. The simulation is not broken. Also love the videos.
32:38 the horizontal lights mean stop, diagonal mean caution and the vertical mean clear
I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in the US. That's where your engines are from! We were a huge steel town.
Those engines are gone.Now the Horshoe curve and pennsylvania is operated by Norfolk Southern if you know
I don't know why, but I love your constant commentary whilst driving trains. I especially like the little story you made up about that Damn Ted who went and bunked work so he could smoke cigarettes and go to his daughter's birthday party.
Its pretty cool to see some old school PRR trains on this game and represented on a popular channel like Squirrel! I'm from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and recognized some of the location names like Allegheny. Theres a railroad museum in Strausburg PA that has a lot of these old PRR engines on display including the legendary GG1. I visited there a few times as a kid and loved it! You can even get a ride on an antique steam engine :) Cheers Squirrel!
Stop running through signals! Pennsylvania, 3 horizontal mean STOP (red) , 3 vertical mean clear (green), 3 diagonal mean slow (yellow).
just a correction. 2 red horizontal = stop. 3 yellow = clear. 3 diagonal to the right = restricted. 3 yellow to the left = approach - medium.
Well you say this engine is a good pusher, but of course, you're actually running power from 5 engines. Figure 1500hp I think for the GP's and 3000 for the f7's at the front.. you've got a lot more power than you might think. If you had all those cars and just 1 GP, you'd have quite a different experience.
Someone should totally convince them to do a Penn Central setup for the horseshoe curve. Would be great with the constant derailments, delays, 15 mph speed restrictions, lost trains, the yard jamming up until nothing can be done, breakdowns, getting outlawed halfway around the curve.
I've been waiting for you to continue Horseshoe Curve for a long time , so Thanks!
Great video
The first time he posted a train sim on the Horse Shoe curve I was watching him on a train on the Horse Shoe curve!
One quick way to see if you should stop at a signal is hit TAB. That requests passing a signal at danger, and if you are denied, you know you have to stop.
my uncle is a train driver and he said "it was brilliant and that you did a good job!"
For that type of signal, horizontal lights mean stop, diagonal lights mean caution, and vertical lights mean proceed
Well done getting your gold star Paul, you are definitely getting the hang of Train Simulator now :)
1:30 You are witnessing the true awe of the Pennsylvania Railroad in its glory days Squirrel! :D
One note of advice : If the track speed limit is 15, then you are safe up to 15.9; beyond that, the game starts to penalize for over-speeding. Thank you.
Live in a house a few yards from the railroad? I had to stay at my grandparents while my house was getting rebuilt, and you can hear the train across town, so it's not like we didn't hear it, but we had distance, and my grandparents were like.. Less than 100M from the railway.. And the busiest commuter railway in the world.. If u guess what that is ur awesome.
Great bit of freight action Paul loved it.
Here in the US we have trains 175 cars long
Great Video! Was reading the history of Horseshoe Curve in separate wikipedia window while watching.
Love your videos Squirrel, keep up the euro truck sim, flight sim, and rail sim!
You should pay attention to what line the game says your on then you would know you weren't on the same track, also the game automatically put you on the right line unless you specifically are told too
Congrats my friend. You just went through the fabulous Horseshoe Curve, a National Historic and Engineering Landmark, and a target of Nazi sabotage during WWII. Built without heavy equipment, only men with picks and shovels.
squirrels intro makes me happy
I love how u call every thing in this game the wrong term
thanks for the ride squirrel.i'll tune in soon or our next adventure.
When you drove by those houses by the tracks in altoona and said, "how would you get any sleep?" you could cause there is only 1 crossing in altoona
I'd be too busy train watching to go to bed, lol.
Patrick Musson Me too, bro. xD
I live almost right next to some track and whoever built my house knew how to soundproof it because I barely notice as the trains go by, so I guess in short I get plenty of sleep.
Excellent video!
From what I could gather horizontal was stop vertical was go and diagonal was track change. By no means am I an expert on american signaling but just used observations!
squirrel if you put the forward gear into backwards on a hill it slows you down so you don't have to use the brake
I love this simulator and if you don't like it it's because your not interested in trains just to tell you
This video started my day off right. Thanks! : )
I live in Pennsylvania and I go by there all the time it's really accurate
I really like ur videos cuz u do lots of cool mods and stuff and actually know what ur doin gun like other youtubers I've also subscribed as well
Hey paul, Try this out.. Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 Excursion Over Sherman Hill..
Yeah!
I think the 15MPH limit applied earlier then what is should have is because the signal you went through where it started men't approach slowly
When it says speed 15... you can actually do 15.9 and a lot of trains are operated by remote in the yard.
Bro, look at the age of the engines. You really think they have remote control?
This is the 1960-1980's EMD's were not able to be remote controlled.... I would know.
Anything can be retrofitted... I would know.
Kopihucky This is set in the 1960-1980's.
VassilliHD in the 1980's the CPR used remote controlled DPU engines
I know those signals. Up an down dots is green. Diagonal dots is yellow. Side to side dots is red
wow horse shoe curve looks very different in real life it looks like it might be a dated look from its hay day maybe...now there is a place for people to look and sit and watch the trains there is an "inclined plane" that takes you up to it and or a large number of steps and like a museum at the bottom where that farm house is
I'm honestly surprised that you not only weren't penalized for all of the stop signals you ran through, but ended up getting a gold star at the end. :)
I don't mean to be hating on you about it, I just wonder if there was something wrong with the conditions of that particular session, as those were fireable events.
Paul, UK freight Trains go up to 1/2 mile long
That was the slop that you toke last time
congratz on the GOLD!!!
YAY!! Train Simulator!!
Best you tuber
I cant count how many times iv been over Horseshoe Curve haha
More please! Love your sim videos!
best way to tell if it's a red signal is to press tab. something will pop up if it's red.
horizontal Stop, Vertical Go. Diagonal is amber. ;)
oh and some signals are speed set aswell as lineside
i thought that video was awsome. good job for getting a gold star. :)
Haven't you heard of appendicitis? That's what I think Ted's got, unless its diagnosed and removed, it could lead to a burst appendix, and could cause a massive trauma.
Altoona, Pennsylvania was the Pennsylvania railroad company headquarters
When your on the pusher the front engine controls the brakes you shouldn't be doing any braking all you do is push
Great job!!
good job on the gold star :)
Can't wait to see you play Flight Simulator :)
Congrats on the Gold, you have my like :3
I'm from the future and I say: Good Video Paul. :D
I think the MP abbreviation should be "Mile Post"
I love this game!
I think if you caught up to that one train, he would pull over and let you overtake.
Squirrel I was talking to you during a live stream a few days ago. You like mechanical sims? Have you seen NoLimits coaster 2? It's a realistic coaster designer used by actual coaster designers. It's very physics involved, you might want to check it out if that is your thing.
well, Love these video's :D
Brilliant Video!
I really regret not buying this on the Steam sale...
Can you du a senario somewhere along the south of Norway, in Stavanger?
if you accelerate too hard the couplers might break if you get into the danger zone it penalizes you
This is a video you recorded some time ago, right?
Light meanings for this route: | green, \ yellow (Anber), --- red
For those types of signals, they are position-based signals... best to think of them as electronic semaphores. Nathan is correct.
Squirrel, you mentioned looking up what the North American signals mean. It isn't that simple.
Signalling schemes vary not only by region, but by company.
Some companies, such as the Penn Central ones in this video, have different meanings than others that use searchlight, vader, color-position, etc signalling.
Also, some subdivisions would use speed-signalling indications, while others would use route-signalling indications, and others still would use a hybrid of the two.
With all the mergers that are always happening, one company could cover a dozen different signalling schemes depending on which original company constructed that subdivision before acquisition.
CSX, for example, as Chessie Systems, acquired C&O, B&O, Western Maryland, Seaboard, L&N, and other companies in its history. Look up the differences between the schemes C&O used, compared against the schemes B&O used, then compare to some other companies, and you get the idea of how complicated it can get for drivers that operate on multiple subdivisions.
Can you put some of the videos you stream up please, like euro truck?
Where i live there is a train that is a mile and a half long that comes and goes up the east coast
I don't know if anyone commented, but the three yellow diagonal lights is Approach
the easy ones you do bad the harder one you do good nice
here in the us. the usual size train is over a mile ant the longest was three
I wish they would make the Tehachapi Loop.
that train isn't on the same line as you, yet.. lol
when is the FSX comming to your channel?
Please tell me that the new Mac of Trainz Simulator version is going to have some Horseshoe Curve stuff
It won't have horseshoe curve scenarios, but there are some american routes that are similar.
Nuts!
can you do a train drive with the TGV please the video soon!
i hope in 2015 you upload some more train videos, you don't seem to have uploaded many in the past 8 months.
Pres TAB in front of a signal an then you know if you can proceed or not
DO A STEAM TRAIN!!!! lol
you are the best some day i hope i become as good as you
46:56 Done!
Do the Bath Round line mate.
then place u started from was Altoona, pennsylvania
i want MOAR ! euro truck vids :D
Yes the engine in front pulling to your in a lash up up where u control the engine in front
Nice :)
anyone can be a train driver but (there always is a but) you need to have a strong stomach and a strong mind capable of making the right decisions at the right times in case of near crashes and jumpers. because you are at the very front of the train and if you hit someone you cant look out of the cabin because there is blood on all the windows i've seen it happen in front of me (i wasn't in the cabin but at a rail crossing) and it ain't a pretty view. i myself am not traumatized but the train driver probably is. in the Netherlands it happens very often here at the main railroad next to my house there were about 500 deaths on record because of jumping or just crossing the railroad too early
you have made improvement, but plz.....get yourself a signal chart
you got multiple monitors, and just spare one for the chart!!!!
but anyway, grats on your very first gold star :D
You're try out boots or you're try out squirrel slippers? :)
Yay you Paul.
do some more train sim videos please
When are you going to do a steam train?
MP stands for Milepost not Markerpost
That's nothing like the curve. First there is 3 lines, not 4 lines. There is an incline to the curve & a train on display. There is also a gift shop.
The fourth line was torn up in the 1970s
Oh *****. That makes sense
