Those old Clinchfield trains used to rocket past my house when I was a kid. I grew up in Clintwood, Va, and the coal industry was booming back then. These trains would run 2 or 3 times a day, and twice at night.
You almost had a runaway because you may have thought you had dynamic braking but didn't. If that power bar is green your under power. needs to be orange. It sometimes difficult to get it engage. Best I've done is put it in brake mode moving slightly, throttle idle direction through neutral and back. Wait for a dash to appear in the throttle notch box. Then while moving apply full throttle which energizes the dynamic braking. I've gone down that hill with a full load on dynamic only. Adjusting the amount of braking with the throttle. Good luck. P.S. I used dynamic when backing those fully loaded hoppers onto the siding also. Especially when coupling the two sections.
@@BluGames I'm sure you have more experience with these things than I but we all still get caught up on little things. like remembering the 'setup' time for dynamic braking. It isn't instantaneous. BTW, I'm envious of your flying sim setups. You and I are alike except in order...I go for driving (racing) sims first (but the must be realistic and accurate like the old 'Sports Car GT... still the best ever n my opinion, but cant run on newer machines. It has the old Neurenburg (sp?) Ring track in Germany. One I actually raced on. Actually, I've raced most top U.S. tracks so I can easily spot cheap sims. Second for me is flying followed by the rail sims. Good luck on your goal of a career in the Air.
Iirc, you have to bring the throttle to idle, AND release the independent, THEN switch traction to breaking - you'll notice in the hud that the throttle ondicator turns into "-", and the dynamic brake indicator turns from "-" to "0%". If you have the independent applied while switching traction from parallell to braking, it won't work, and throttle will stay in normal mode.
Nice job on this. I noticed you got stuck with the diesel trip that occurs after application of emergency brake. Finally figured out how to restart like you did. I don’t know if the engine trip on emergency brake application is just limited to this train, I have not noticed this before on other trains and limes. Also I am glad you brought up the role of the assistant, because in real life the air hoses don’t automatically uncouple as the game leads you to believe.
I bought this game today because of your epic videos! (and also my iq wasn't high enough for Train Sim 2021) Altough my pc can only run it at pretty low settings Im enjoying it a lot so thank you for your videos and reviews!
Hiya my friend from over the pond. New subscriber to the channel I'm really enjoying your content the easy and friendly way you narrate is a pleasure to watch and listen too and your passion and skill really comes across..... Mybe being a bit fanboy... 😂😂 I'm a big fan of UK rail especially freight never thought I'd enjoy watching somebody play a simulator... Once watched a total anorak play flight sim.... Scared for life... 😂😂 I'm even considering getting a console I'm a 50 year old truck driver and find tec and computers a scary world.. But I'd really like to get in to simulators.. Anyways keep up the great work mate on your arsome channel. 👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Heyyyy never too old to get started!! Get you a good pc and you wont regret it. I think you enjoy what the simulator world has to offer.. flight sims, train sims, trucking sims, and more
I just got this game free on Epic Games, and I love it already, though I seem to be having a little bit of trouble getting to just run my train rather than do tasks. I'd rather just ride. Any advice? Also, I just subbed. Your cool!
You can always go to time table and give up control so u can just ride-along if thats what u mean. Thanks for the sub welcome to the fam enjoy the ride my new friend
you can create your own scenarios as well, utilizing any train you've unlocked/bought along with any route you'd like, and if you pick the longest scenario options, you can basically just free run any train down the full length of any track you'd like. start with "creators club" on the home menu, then "scenario planner" and pick everything you'd like from there! I like to go with long consists, and you can create/select/save different liveries as well. I'm from Baltimore, so I like liveries from east coast railways. hope this helps. happy railroading!
Thanks for watching!

Came here from the Sherman Hill video. It was good to see you manage to save the train before disaster.
Might have got luck on this one. Lost control for a while for sure lol
At 26:06 I tensed up watching the train get ready to smash into the other part of the train. Great job on control of the train and the commentary.
Me too!! Thanks so much for riding along

Sohhhh hard going down with 1000+ tonnes of coal. Love seeing how you tackle the mission. I had to jump on the emergency break a few times myself. :)
i actually rode the E-brake for a bit also down hill but such a fun challenge
I'm really enjoying your videos. Thank you for posting these!
Thank you so much. Im glad you enjoy them
Best video I have seen on Train Sim World 2. Very good job!!! Now I want to get this game.

That's the coolest scenario in train sim world 2 i think
Yes it is

Well done! Probably very helpful for new players.
Great! I actually learned a few more tricks for freight since this
Great intro and vid bro well done !!
Thanks so much man. Always appreciate you

Awesome video and some great tips
this game in VR would be lit
Tempted to buy this route through the train sim world 5 store
On the return trip downhill, the rear loco is breaking. Did the same for me.
Yo class vid keep up the good work

What's good man nice video
Whats up good too see you and thanks for watching
@@BluGames No problem man I was once again considering trying out Clinchfield but that DLC just doesn’t do it for me.
I miss seeing cabooses on trains.
Yea me too actually
That. Is. ..a. ...cool. train
Great vid bro!
I Bought this game yesterday on ps4 platform. Can you give me some tips on how to start playing and advancing?
For the life of me I can never recover this Loco from accidental emergency stop.
This game should have checkpoints, I derailed apparently and had to start again
You can save in the middle of the game you can go to menu and it will tell you how to save
You can save
If you go to emergency. How do you reset it? I can never figure it out
Hmm I wonder if the game have Gas turbine locomotives
Would be cool but dont think so
What’s up these devs and sound? Like you have the real world reference and you some how still mess it up??
This new msfs update looks weird
Hahaha
Hahaha. Msfs finally got trains!!
Second🤣
