Helper on the Curve - EMD GP7 Pennsy (Train Simulator 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.

32:38 the horizontal lights mean stop, diagonal mean caution and the vertical mean clear

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!!

@Tanker-ok9uz 9 жыл бұрын

For that type of signal, horizontal lights mean stop, diagonal lights mean caution, and vertical lights mean proceed

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!

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.

@ozzy6900 7 жыл бұрын

Stop running through signals! Pennsylvania, 3 horizontal mean STOP (red) , 3 vertical mean clear (green), 3 diagonal mean slow (yellow).

@ryanflames8602 6 жыл бұрын

just a correction. 2 red horizontal = stop. 3 yellow = clear. 3 diagonal to the right = restricted. 3 yellow to the left = approach - medium.

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.

@jtc120880 10 жыл бұрын

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.

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.

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 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

@Smoovious 9 жыл бұрын

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.
