I've taken Amtrak from Philadelphia to the Newark airport stop a few times in the last year to fly to Europe. That's an amazingly accurate rendition of the station....right down to the out-of-order escalators. The only thing missing was the nasty attendant at the airport shuttle gates.
I like balance in my life. Watch a CaptainKarta train sim episode and afterwards I'm qualified to drive an actual train. Watch a Colonel Failure video, and afterwards I'm qualified to be charged with involuntary manslaughter for dumping 130 passengers out the wrong side, and into the path of an oncoming freight train.
Indeed. I'm going with the defence that opening the doors on the wrong side was not an error, and that the passengers who were mown down were trying to escape an enraged Wookie when they were unwise enough to question the freshness of the sandwiches in the dining car.
the bell would typically be used when going through level crossings, entering/exiting stations, used within yard limits, anytime when doing switching or slow movements, and when going in reverse.
I don’t know how I ended up watching this video, but I’m literally laughing out loud at the coffee shop. Great way to make friends. Love the commentary.
One more thing Colonel, Your video is future on Dovtails Website, Take a look live.dovetailgames.com/live/train-simulator/articles/article/something-for-the-weekend
Good show Colonel I subbed you. I successfully completed the mission GWR into Slough and I’m still finding it hard with all the switches, Man it blags my head. You know something else your fucking hilarious 🤣 lmfao 👍
I've had no end of trouble with previous iterations of this. Surprise signal aspects, unannounced speed restrictions twenty-foot gaps between cars all along the train, people walking on air ( no snowmen) and walking on air across the tracks, saves that don't, loads that don't, landscapes that vanish as you drive through them..... That's page 1 of 43. Good luck, Sir. You are the right man for the job.
We need more train simulator, a great way to do that would be to drive a freight train from Ipswich to Stratford that is way longer than what British standards would allow for, and it has 3 locomotives
Oh goody! The Colonel driving a train. :D I was relieved to see the cab has a way of reversing up or down the track, just in case. I did notice that none of the people waiting were looking skyward. I suppose people in New York are so used to seeing skyward vehicles that they feel they don't need to watch for them. Pretty nonchalant of them. Mr. Chewbacca at the snack window should stop the returns for certain. :) "That's a red?" But how? [sigh]
Shee, Sprinter 600 still misses the "David L. Gunn" on it. I'm surprised Dovetail has yet to put that one the model, since the real ACS-64 600 has that on the nose.
1) "Hello; what's that?" Something you never want to hear from a pilot or train driver... 2) "...my inability to tell left from right..." Bet you're a blast on the motorway, eh?
Safety announcement to the good people of Newark...........take the plane from Newark airport and fly to New York airport it could just save your life lol.
Train bells: Bells are most commonly used whenever a train is approaching a railroad crossing, grade crossing, or level crossing, as well as approaching a station, or moving at slow speeds. They're also used to alert crews and engineers of a departing train, which is used as a warning to "move" or "board". locomotive.fandom.com/wiki/Bell
Its 2 short blasts to start for Amtrak Col. LMAO. Love the levity Col. Keep it up. I needed a good laugh today. Just so you know it was to much juice. Start slow and use the brake application on the throttle to slow the train and apply auto brakes(whole train) to stop. Release brakes before applying throttle. Just your American railroader offering assistance. LOL I feel bad for chewie LOL Also, YELLOW means PREPARE TO STOP!!! SLOW DOWN LMAO & Yes it is Sea-caw-cus
I like the video and its funny. But O do have a Q: tho. How did u put your voice inside your train to let the passenger know what stop u coming to???? I'm am getting this game for the Xbox One. But please I will like to know. It goes for anybody that have this game or U.....
Colonel how i can drive a train with people, i was download that game, i see just work for coal and other, i dont see how to drive a people like you in this video, helppp
The CSX: Heavy Haul route is freight only. Select one of the other routes for passengers. If you don't have any other routes and you're running a Windows PC you might have to open your wallet and purchase a software update.
We do. They're just a bit smaller and more subtle because it upsets British sensibilities to look out of your window and see a stonking great steel tower blocking your view of the countryside
Oh Colonel, like so many poor souls out there who didn’t know of the magic that is the TAB menu to talk to the guy who actually manages the doors. PS: Can you please change next speed limit and signal to be HUD ONLY instead of that blasted ‘marker’ mode. It is just plain annoying.
Not so. Even on lowest power, the process is remove brake, then apply power. If you've anything over zero power with the brake still active it won't respond.
Just don't let your kids get your credit card because Dovetail games will put your credit cards over the limit in no time.. There PC version could set you back $8,000 for all of the DLCs. There doing the same on the PS4 version. They charge $20 for new engines and a dollar a mile for tracks. A total rip off. It's sad they turned this into a money pit and not to help kids get interested in trains.. We need new engineers bad. We just don't need kids getting ripped off learning something..
I want a refund, muffin be damned! The cookies with kale were stale. They tasted like they were from beyond the pale. Even eating shale from some godforgotten vale wouldn't have made me exhale that much in exasperation. Rodger this train company with a pail!
Me watching: “red signal. Red signal. Red. Signal. RED. signal. RED SIGNAL!”
Commentary: “blah blah blah.... that’s a red.... oh.”
I've taken Amtrak from Philadelphia to the Newark airport stop a few times in the last year to fly to Europe. That's an amazingly accurate rendition of the station....right down to the out-of-order escalators. The only thing missing was the nasty attendant at the airport shuttle gates.
I am for total accuracy, as you know. I'll provide further irate staff in the future.

Educated viewers are happy users.

"Isolation resistance for when the revolution comes"
It will happen soon Comrade Failure, and you'll be our Colonel
Colonel: Come fast, we're running late!
One minute passed...
Colonel: What are the lines operating here?
*goes check map in the platform*
That Chewbacca line killed me 🤣
That's a red....... OH! love the educational parts in your videos....
Despite looking at it being red for the previous 30 seconds, it only registered that I should be stopping as I went through the signal.
I live in Asia, that's how we do it here too....
Michael Geier that’s how you roll? Get it...roll?
"A bit of ventilation never hurt anyone."
You've never been to New Jersey, have you? 😉
Valid.

First thought when I saw this on the home screen.. 'This can only go one way' 😂
The Locomotive Classification is ACS-64, The Big number on the Sides of the Locomotive is the Locomotive Number.
Makes sense.
One more thing Colonel, Your video is future on Dovtails Website, Take a look live.dovetailgames.com/live/train-simulator/articles/article/something-for-the-weekend
Snivy Films Splendid.
Pure entertainment! UK rail network needs you back.
I do have a 125 sat waiting for my special attention...
"That's a red. Oh.."
he spends 6 minutes looking for a non-existent button
Yes indeed. The type of locomotive is ACS-64 the number is just the running number.
"Get your stuff. Get off my train!" Customer service at it's finest.
I don't want anyone to be uncertain as to what's happening.
Initially I underestimated how funny you are mate. Great video.
Yeah, I kinda sneak up on people which isn't bad for a big lad. Thanks :)
Good show Colonel I subbed you. I successfully completed the mission GWR into Slough and I’m still finding it hard with all the switches, Man it blags my head. You know something else your fucking hilarious 🤣 lmfao 👍
Outstanding never laughed so much. Brilliant video mate
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
25:29 Don't worry about him, he's just looking for an NJ Transit train that never came.
I've had no end of trouble with previous iterations of this.

Meeting with Rail Boss without coffee!
We need more train simulator, a great way to do that would be to drive a freight train from Ipswich to Stratford that is way longer than what British standards would allow for, and it has 3 locomotives
Well, I do have that route...
Colonel Failure if only you had a premade scenario that allows for that
Colonel Failure obviously implying that someone (me) made a scenario that does exactly that
Colonel Failure if you want the scenario link or name let me know
Start it it Felixstowe and I'll do it :)
Colonel, you make the best hallway monitor xD
Oh goody! The Colonel driving a train. :D I was relieved to see the cab has a way of reversing up or down the track, just in case. I did notice that none of the people waiting were looking skyward.

My favorite dlc. I run these rails daily
Love the ending!
And the rest of it, thanks for maling the busride less horrible :D
Happy to oblige :)
Shee, Sprinter 600 still misses the "David L. Gunn" on it. I'm surprised Dovetail has yet to put that one the model, since the real ACS-64 600 has that on the nose.
An engineer will ringthe bell before a train starts moving at a station, so that any railroad workers nearby know that the train is starting to move.
Great episode of this! :D
Thanks :)
1) "Hello; what's that?" Something you never want to hear from a pilot or train driver...
2) "...my inability to tell left from right..." Bet you're a blast on the motorway, eh?
Safety announcement to the good people of Newark...........take the plane from Newark airport and fly to New York airport it could just save your life lol.
Through a Red! Oh dear!
Great route. Pity about it's random speed limits. Last light went from green straight to red, iv'e never seen that.
You should get hired by every train and tram company to make announcements, probably the best announcements ever.
Wow, Chewie has really fallen on hard times.
You should have seen the state he was in before I hired him.
The loco is a Siemens acs-64. Also Newark airport station is very accurately modeled. I've ridden this train on one occasion
I love these.
Mr chewbacca :)
No refunds.
0:32 yes.. but that was many years ago. now you will probably be fined or 'relocated'
In this loco, there's not doors button. And for the story if you don't know, in each car there's an agent to open and close the doors.
Train bells:
Bells are most commonly used whenever a train is approaching a railroad crossing, grade crossing, or level crossing, as well as approaching a station, or moving at slow speeds. They're also used to alert crews and engineers of a departing train, which is used as a warning to "move" or "board".

Love your vids, but you were in New Jersey not New York from the beginning to just after entering the Hudson River tunnel.
The 1st thing you were looking for is the cupboard where they keep the bulldozer..
Its 2 short blasts to start for Amtrak Col. LMAO. Love the levity Col. Keep it up. I needed a good laugh today. Just so you know it was to much juice. Start slow and use the brake application on the throttle to slow the train and apply auto brakes(whole train) to stop. Release brakes before applying throttle. Just your American railroader offering assistance. LOL I feel bad for chewie LOL Also, YELLOW means PREPARE TO STOP!!! SLOW DOWN LMAO & Yes it is Sea-caw-cus
Thanks Tim... I tend to treat yellow as "it's probably fine".
Colonel Failure LMAO probably
Well he stayed authentic because the train was delayed and have you ever heard of an amtrak train thats on time?
That big icon blocking all view ahead is making one irritable again.
I'd turn it off but I'm nowhere near ready for signals only yet.
There isn’t a door button.. it’s a locomotive you can only get them in DMUs and EMUs
You get a like just for the Chewbacca gag!
Nobody saw it coming. A finely honed gag, poorly delivered.
Hello Cnl, glad to joined the ride with u
Had to pause after Chewbaccas arrival, as i couldn`t see! Rofl!
You said it right the first time
I think the door button is between each car next to the exit door
F40PH-2CAT
I like the video and its funny. But O do have a Q: tho.
How did u put your voice inside your train to let the passenger know what stop u coming to???? I'm am getting this game for the Xbox One. But please I will like to know. It goes for anybody that have this game or U.....
Unfortunately that's something I do when editing my videos, it's not part of the game.
Okay thank u so much and Respect. Keep making these ppl laugh on here on youtube.
Flirting with danger or the ladies Colonel......
I'm not picky, I'll flirt with anything.
I think you had overloaded the throttle
It's the battery
Hey what can i google of Buttons what do i know about them
I want to dress like colonel failure for Halloween. I gotta find some really strong glasses.
Oooh burn.
Colonel Failure this is going to be a good series! I'm looking forward to more pandemonium.
And I was thinking that I was living in the only country in this world where escalators were broken all the time
the red line on the speedo is the speed limit.
Yeah I figured that out. I need more hours under my belt so it becomes second nature.
What laptop do you need to play
That’s a red… O…
You should stop the train at the end of the platform
Oh sure. There are plenty of things I should be doing...
Think this one is in transport fever
Insert jokes about how bad Amtrak service is here
Newark Penn
Could you do a full lengt run? From washington to boston
If the route permitted it, definitely, but it's very high detail so doesn't go the full length.
Green means goYellow means go fasterThen red must mean turbo buster!!!.
Right!
Colonel how i can drive a train with people, i was download that game, i see just work for coal and other, i dont see how to drive a people like you in this video, helppp
The CSX: Heavy Haul route is freight only. Select one of the other routes for passengers. If you don't have any other routes and you're running a Windows PC you might have to open your wallet and purchase a software update.
You guys don't have cell phone towers in the UK?
We do. They're just a bit smaller and more subtle because it upsets British sensibilities to look out of your window and see a stonking great steel tower blocking your view of the countryside
Martin Dixon oh. Gotcha. Here in Merica we don't do subtle:)
Our cell towers tend to be hidden and disguised as other things, certainly the ones in cities anyway.
Thats aw red huh? hmm what do you do??
"I love me a good dangler..." That's not game-related; you were playing in the bathroom and looking in the mirror; admit it...
tab will open the doors
Oh Colonel, like so many poor souls out there who didn’t know of the magic that is the TAB menu to talk to the guy who actually manages the doors.
PS: Can you please change next speed limit and signal to be HUD ONLY instead of that blasted ‘marker’ mode. It is just plain annoying.
I'll poke it.
What are your specs ?
You forget bell at 17:35
They didn't deserve it.
The reason why the train wouldnt move is because u applied too much power and the wheels were spinning all the power away.
Not so. Even on lowest power, the process is remove brake, then apply power. If you've anything over zero power with the brake still active it won't respond.
Ahh right I thought u had the brakes off. Also the bell is used for moving in yards and when under 5mph
wish my rig could play this game :/
Look at it this way, by the time you've upgraded there'll be a whole stack of routes to choose from and they may be a bit cheaper....
GG
Train is broken, obviously.
Yup.
SEE-caw-kus
Oh its a red signal, nothing special about that!
O
Just don't let your kids get your credit card because Dovetail games will put your credit cards over the limit in no time.. There PC version could set you back $8,000 for all of the DLCs. There doing the same on the PS4 version. They charge $20 for new engines and a dollar a mile for tracks. A total rip off. It's sad they turned this into a money pit and not to help kids get interested in trains.. We need new engineers bad. We just don't need kids getting ripped off learning something..
LOL
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I want a refund, muffin be damned! The cookies with kale were stale. They tasted like they were from beyond the pale. Even eating shale from some godforgotten vale wouldn't have made me exhale that much in exasperation. Rodger this train company with a pail!
Please take your refund request to Mr C. Don't say you weren't warned.
I'm positive he has a soft spot in his heart for poor poetry.
Probably not first
You were indeed first. You gotta have some faith in yourself!
Oh! Yaaayy!!
