[RR] REAL SIGNAL ENGINEER plays Rail Route!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 апр 2022
- In this video, we start a playthrough of the Washington DC map in the awesome game called Rail Route! It's sort of like a CTC operator / dispatching type game that can give us a avenue to talk about railroad operations on a bigger scale and talk a little signal design as well. Hope you guys like it!

I would love a 10 levels of train signaling video!
That'd be awesome! I used to be an S&C Maintainer and I still have no clue how signals work
Oh God would that even be doable? Doesn't pretty much every region have its own rules?
@@themigmadmarine what the signals mean are different but the underlying interlocking and train detection is all reasonably similar.
I applaud the track workers for making massive changes to the rail network in mere seconds.
They kick ass in this game, that's for sure. lol!
@@Hyce777mod proposal: Hyce Track™
It's just randomised track
Yes, 10 levels of signalling would be very helpful to have...
And then 10 levels of "How to cause a derail" with said signalling and trackwork :D
Gradually tighten up the gauge preferably around corner, if you do it after a set of points they'll probably try blame the signalling department too.
I love it how there is calm piano music playing in the background while you're swamped and rapidly loosing control of the situation. And yes signaling video would be awesome!
I am so proud that this game is being worked on by a Czech programmer ...also it was very funny when Kan tried it and completely butchered the Czech names he had there
Also had fun watching someone, who understands this sort of stuff
so much fun to watch ya paly and learn about stuff at the same time and alwes have great music as well
Buy it, use it, break it, fix it
Rail it, change it, oops - reverse it
Change it, point it, zoom it, press it
Switch it, work it, quick - accept it
Learn it, move it, sign it, lock it
Load it, check it, quick - signal it
Pause it, play it, burn it, rip it
Drag and drop it, rail - rerail it
Contrologic
Need one of those Bop-it!™ doohickies but for signals.
This is a work of art
Underrated comment right here
Nicely done!
Whoop! This game truly does have the Zen vibes, I’d love to see more of it! 😁
6-6-6? That's a lot of unpowered wheels!
oooOOOooo
That is it right
Great job Hyce! I tried watching a couple other RUclipsrs play this & it was almost unwatchable. But with your explanations along the way, it’s entertaining to watch you play it. Same with Derail Valley.
I enjoyed watching particularly to see what kind of switch/signal setup you went for. You managed to pack trains much more densely than I have so far, so very valuable for me to watch.
Ay, glad to see a dev for another train game I enjoy is playing the one I've helped make :)
Kinda hilarious to see you're doing D.C., though. That map was *specifically* designed to be ridiculously tight and unforgiving, so that even I couldn't figure out a "perfect" setup for its junctions. It's TOUGH. Good luck with it! Though from the beginning of the episode, I see you've already done some messing around on it in a previous playthrough, so you at least have some experience on it already, so that's good.
Speaking of QoL features - there are T O N S of features the game doesn't really tell the player exist. We're working on making them easier to grasp, but one example:
Auto Signals as of 1.4 (Latest major update) can be "manually" routed. You mentioned how you didn't want it to go straight from point A to B, but instead wanted it to take the other route - When setting the route, use the scroll wheel to toggle between every available option. VERY useful, especially in Rush Hour, where the exact sequence of trains can be life or death.
I'd go on with more tips - There's a goldmine of knowledge to learn about how to play this game - but I think this'll do for now. If you want more, don't be shy - The community discord has a help and tips chat, and a decent hunk of active community members are more than willing to answer any number of questions you may have, or give various tips on layouts, automation, contracts, etc. I'm also more than willing to help with anything, though that's probably because any chance to flex my knowledge about the game is an opportunity I'll take instantly : )
Hey! Cheers :) so glad to see you here. I am in the community discord, just have not been terribly active as of yet. I'll have to come stop in. That's very cool on the route setting! And I mostly picked D.C. so that I wouldn't fudge up pronunciations of the town names :P
Glad to see you playing this game, and can't wait to see more of it
As a side note, my grandfather worked for BART both as a lineman, and then later as a design engineer. One of the pieces of software he had was super similar to this- ran on windows XP, and was just called Train Dispatcher. It was super similar to this (albeit a lot more clunky of a UI) when railroute came out, it instantly reminded me of it. I'm kind of curious If you know about/played that older Dispatcher game
I do not know about that. We have a different sim we use in the agency, but yeah, looks somewhat similar though considerably more clunky for sure.
God damnit hyce, you are fueling my need for train hobbies, probably going to have to buy this game now!
Really great video Hyce!
"What i spent this long already?"
This game should have a warning posted on the steam page. You will zen out and fast forward real time at 25x speed :D
Haaaaa, stressful games, exactly the type of game i like to play. (which is a bit curious)
Love this game! I think its really worth the money!
The only two things I don't like is a) the trains need to be upgraded to turn automatically. The Train Driver knows to do this. b) As you will also know, the whole CTC is electronically interlocked, you should not be able to make conflicting movements (perhaps this at least should have been made an upgarde to indicate better/modern systems although even in the old days they had mechanical interlocking).
Yes, I'm aware its just a game and as long as you remember that, its fun to play. EDIT: oh yes, just right-click to reverse the relevant train
I've watched quite a few videos of this game, and it is very obvious that you can do this in your sleep!
2:40 - If you tried to change and clear that route for the freight train and everything was working properly, the commuter train in the OS Section would keep the switch to East Market locked and the signal at Stop.
Very enjoyable to watch. It's sooooo nice not to have another Tutorial, and just watch someone play who knows what they're doing.
Oh hell yeah, Rail Route is fantastic!
It really is chill. I started over a map to redo my start
Edit: I was so confused by the UI. They had an update!!
i did enjoy this andam totly intersted in more detail about signaling lot more complex then i thout
Nice! Like when people with a railroad background, like myself, play these games.
very nice video keep it up.
THanks hyce!
Lol this has so much potential!
Wouldn't mind that 10 levels of train signals vid too (assuming it isn't already done).
It is, take a look back to June or July last year on the channel. :)
@@Hyce777 Sweet! Still playing catch-up. Thanks for the rapid and unexpected reply!!
This is a really fun game.
Not sure if it qualifies as a game but there's something called Train Dispatcher 3 that has dispatching with options like routing queue and fleet signals available from the start (though also have to contend with track maintenance crews as well as train crews running out of time)
Cool!
hey man, only just finding this video. as your into this you have to check out simrail on steam!! its a brand new sim coming out this month and has both driving and controlling built in :)
I enjoyed the Fat controller reference.
God that reminds of the mess I made in TS I made a multi stack interchange for trains
42:03 Me: Oh ive been watching this for 42:03 minutes
I require more of this! please?
Hyces track laying: the parody
Could you guys implement a chat system in? And maybe having to go through different radio Channels and an area that can control lights around the map?
Yay
Yes content
Just started getting into this game and saw a few people played it. It's interesting to see someone with professional knowledge doing a game that's inspired by their forte. I kinda hope you come back to this at some point. I assume you haven't posted any of this recently considering this video is a year old. :D But yeah!
I've played it on live streams recently, it is a ton of fun, just doesn't do super well as a video.
@@Hyce777 Ahh yeah I can see that. Totally understandable! ^.^
We require MOAR.
This is only zen because you can pause
Lol, it'd be chaos otherwise hahahaha
A dispatcher can always "pause" the real thing by not clearing any signals. Of course, everything comes to a complete stop in short order and, absent a very good reason for taking this action, the dispatcher will quickly become a former dispatcher. "Would you like fries with that?" is likely to be in their next radio or wire transmission.
@@B-and-O-Operator-Fairmont lmao
Will you ever play this again? They’ve changed a lot.
Having seen this iv now spent 12hrs in the last two days playing this cause iv been ill and the time just goes so fast while playing
I wish this was the interface to control switches in Derail Valley....
@Hyce Talk about signal design rules for the restricting aspect..like why does the lead train have to clear the interlocking before the following train sees the restricting
Shouldn't need to be that way, that honestly sounds odd.
@@Hyce777 ruclips.net/video/geYjCKna4hM/видео.html
Is the dispatcher and CTC operator different positions on the railroad you work for? On my railroad they're the same position.
You're right about the Zen tho.
Same position.
It's a good day when Hyce uploads. Also, more TF2?
Yes, that was so fun!
@@Hyce777 HELL YEAH!
Has anyone ever made a signalling game but with traditional signal boxes? It would be interesting to have proper 3D modelled historic signal boxes with lever frames of varying sizes and designs, as well as animated passing trains, token machines, block bells. I think they had a lot more character than modern ROC/CTC and it's a shame most people don't get to see them.
It's also incredibly complicated which is why someone probably hasn't! Lol.
@@Hyce777 just haven't had the right obsession/drive and interest in games :P
Do trains ever SPAD in this game? It would make it more challenging if that was a thing. Also, shouldn't the interlocking prevent you from pulling off a signal in to an occupied section?
SPAD? Not sure what you mean. And interlockings should prevent a lot of things that they don't in this game, haha.
@@Hyce777 "Signal Passed At Danger" The train has failed to stop for a red signal for some reason.
@@FM60260 Ah, I haven't heard that acronym before. No, they do not. They are obedient little choochoos. lol
(Painfully obvious joke) The question is: Do the switches change the train, or do the trains change the switches…
Hyce, me and my friend were banned from the railroads online discord. What happened as I’m along with my friend are confused
Shoot me a DM on discord. The whole thing was a bit of a mess. hyce#5069
@@Hyce777 y'all have support for whatever mess people caused.

Come back to rail route
I just saw the discord post and I'm sorry that the channel made for the community has been tainted. I hope nothing like this happens again.
discord post? What happened?
@@SImrobert2001 someone that was working on the music for the game was harassed by stupid hateful people, its very sad...
@@mechanicalbird282 that's messed up. Yeah.
I got banned form the discord without any messages or anything? Why?
Yesterday was a pile of a mess. Shoot me a DM on discord. hyce#5069
Just asking but how many oil burning locomotives do you have in railroads online tech tree
A fair few!
How much is this on steam?
$19.99
stellwerksim
Hm?
@@Hyce777 stellwerksim is a Full Disposition Simulator
Reminds me of the Darmstadt Model Railway that Tom Scott explored - ruclips.net/video/6TLcaJdsRr0/видео.html
Well you crashed some trains there🫠🫠
if would be cool if I send one train to a random line is like that Garfield movie where he mess up the dispatch controls
Totally another interesting game I'd play... Holy crap, some people can't seem to respect the Discord rules.. :-/
Tell me about it. Ugh.
I'm not even going to ask. People can be pretty awful
