Helper on the Curve - EMD GP7 Pennsy (Train Simulator 2014)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ม.ค. 2014
- 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.

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.
my uncle is a train driver and he said "it was brilliant and that you did a good job!"
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!!
32:38 the horizontal lights mean stop, diagonal mean caution and the vertical mean clear
For that type of signal, horizontal lights mean stop, diagonal lights mean caution, and vertical lights mean proceed
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
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
I've been waiting for you to continue Horseshoe Curve for a long time , so Thanks!
Great video
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.
Awesome driving, sir! Congratulations on the gold star.. Keep them coming! :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.
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.
thanks for the ride squirrel.i'll tune in soon or our next adventure.
Great bit of freight action Paul loved it.
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.
Well done getting your gold star Paul, you are definitely getting the hang of Train Simulator now :)
I love how u call every thing in this game the wrong term
squirrels intro makes me happy
Great Video! Was reading the history of Horseshoe Curve in separate wikipedia window while watching.
1:30 You are witnessing the true awe of the Pennsylvania Railroad in its glory days Squirrel! :D
This video started my day off right. Thanks! : )
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
Love your videos Squirrel, keep up the euro truck sim, flight sim, and rail sim!
I live in Pennsylvania and I go by there all the time it's really accurate
I love this simulator and if you don't like it it's because your not interested in trains just to tell you
Brilliant Video!
Excellent video!
Great job!!
I cant count how many times iv been over Horseshoe Curve haha
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 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
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.
More please! Love your sim videos!
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!
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
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.
congratz on the GOLD!!!
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 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
good job on the gold star :)
that train isn't on the same line as you, yet.. lol
I know those signals. Up an down dots is green. Diagonal dots is yellow. Side to side dots is red
Paul, UK freight Trains go up to 1/2 mile long
I think if you caught up to that one train, he would pull over and let you overtake.
best way to tell if it's a red signal is to press tab. something will pop up if it's red.
Here in the US we have trains 175 cars long
46:56 Done!
Hey paul, Try this out.. Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 Excursion Over Sherman Hill..
Yeah!
I'm from the future and I say: Good Video Paul. :D
i thought that video was awsome. good job for getting a gold star. :)
Congrats on the Gold, you have my like :3
i like squrrel
so i can say when he chrashes
"HES NUTS!!!!"
well, Love these video's :D
Altoona, Pennsylvania was the Pennsylvania railroad company headquarters
That was the slop that you toke last time
I love this game!
Can't wait to see you play Flight Simulator :)
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.
YAY!! Train Simulator!!
Where i live there is a train that is a mile and a half long that comes and goes up the east coast
I really regret not buying this on the Steam sale...
I think the MP abbreviation should be "Mile Post"
here in the us. the usual size train is over a mile ant the longest was three
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 wish they would make the Tehachapi Loop.
DO A STEAM TRAIN!!!! lol
Best you tuber
the easy ones you do bad the harder one you do good nice
Nuts!
Nice :)
horizontal Stop, Vertical Go. Diagonal is amber. ;)
oh and some signals are speed set aswell as lineside
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
I don't know if anyone commented, but the three yellow diagonal lights is Approach
Yes the engine in front pulling to your in a lash up up where u control the engine in front
then place u started from was Altoona, pennsylvania
you are the best some day i hope i become as good as you
Pres TAB in front of a signal an then you know if you can proceed or not
Do the Bath Round line mate.
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.
i hope in 2015 you upload some more train videos, you don't seem to have uploaded many in the past 8 months.
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.
can you do a train drive with the TGV please the video soon!
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.
Yay you Paul.
MP stands for Milepost not Markerpost
you controll train at front when you couple to another train
Can you put some of the videos you stream up please, like euro truck?
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
SqrlNuts Kappa :D
NA. couplers are almost indestructible when pulling
i live near that place in pennsy
i live only a couple miles from cresson!!!!!!!!
learn your American singals, and smash into that train
i want MOAR ! euro truck vids :D
