When you come to a crossing: blow your horn twice long, blow your horn once short, and blow your horn once long until your loco starts to enter the crossing.
Goes to train engineer job just to piss of people and say so when is my " training " and multiple train puns , just to get slapped in the face by the conductor
Great video. I liked your commentary. To clear up the dynamic blare mystery, when any electric motor is given electricity, it turns. When electricity is taken off it, as long as it it is still turning, it generates electricity. What the dynamic brake does is creates a resistance (A partial short) across the traction motors. That makes it harder for the motor to turn, but that won't stop it all together. The slower it turns, the less electricity it will produce, so get your hands on those air brakes if you are at 10 miles a hour or less.
the top speed of that particular locomotive type, which is an EMD SD40-2, is 65 mph with standard gearing. and your explanation of dynamic braking was great. A diesel locomotive works by using a diesel engine to turn an electric generator, which powers electric traction motors, which drive the wheels. the dynamic brake reverses the polarity of those motors, thus slowing the train down, and the excess energy is dispersed as heat. and by the way, when you're slowing the train down, you don't mess with the reverser setting, even putting it in neutral. i'm pretty sure moving the reverser while the train is in motion can cause damage.
Brought back memories watching this. My grandad was an engineer and brought me and my little brother along on some short night rides when the higher ups weren't there. Looked exactly like this one. Only thing I noticed that was missing was the radio.
the cold start procedure is pretty simple. to start you are going to want to climb aboard the train if you have not already, then you are going to proceed to the midsection of the locomotive, around the midsection of locomotive you are going to see some latches, once you have located them you will going to want to release them, then you are going to want to open the panel which should review the engine, depending on which side of the engine you open the engine housing from you are going to see a prime/start switch, you are going to want to hold the switch in the prime position for a few seconds, then put it into start position and then you should hear the engine starting up
That's cool! My Grandpa worked at the yard for years and lived in Cumberland his whole life, so I've been there a few times as a kid :) it was nice reminiscence when Gray started the game out there.
Gray, Although DTG is not one of the bigger studios you can hardly call them indie. They are making train sims since MSTS litterally, DTG evolved from the original MSTS team, made railworks, Train Simulator 20xx, are developing the current FSX and a fishing sim and are developing a new flight sim. Few tips: Normally you do not use the reverser for braking. However, if you dod so consider this. The reverser controls the direction your engine will send you. Putting the reverser back when you go forward and then throttles up will give a braking effect as well. I used that in TS2017 on yards for quick coupling and reversing out of sidings. (below 5mph speeds only) TSW will run on DLC, if it's predecessor is any indication be prepared to pull your wallet often in the future, TS2017 DLC is hanging around the $4k mark. However.... steam... sales... use... TSW is basically TS2017 with better graphics and physics, I would recommend you check out MattPeddlesden on youtube. Besides him being one of the devs of this game he has some really useful content to learn more about the game and the engines in it. His channel goes by TrainSimLive. I am sure that, just like with MSTS and TS20xx, there will be loads of freeware mods on the internet. Keep an eye on sites like railworksamerica.com (US content) uktrainsim.com (UK content) and railsim.de (EU content) these are the contries the previous game focused n most and they are likely to do the same in this game. Play in moderation, or you will get addicted :P
The green, yellow and red symbols are your signals usually when you see a yellow signal go half the speed because the next signal might be red and you will need to stop at that signal due to another train ahead or a switch that dispatcher needs to switch for you. The blue icon is your waypoints or check points when it says go via on the top left you keep going, you only stop when it says stop on the top left or something like that it might say pick up passengers when they add it, it might say load up with coal, always on the top left it will always tell you what to do
nobody asked you though, so, like, are you one of those people that shows off their passion, I mean, I'm a pilot but I don't walk up to everyone and yell "look at me I'm a pilot, I'm so cool, look at me!", so yeah, fuck you too dude
ahhh the nostalgia of this video! Im obsessed with trains and train sims. Train Sim World 3 just released and it reminds me of when i bought the first one right as it came out. I thought it was amazing! so many good memories
Hi Gray, sorry that this comment is so late, but yes the cab interior is incredibly accurate, considering the fact that the railroad based on this game is a real life railroad in America, so yes the cab interiors are accurate.
I've been to the Cumberland yard as a kid! It is indeed large, and pretty crazy how they just roll box-cars down the hill into the yard to connect them to the various trains! 8:25 is headed into the town, and you don't really see it, but the opposite side of that little two lane road would be the [IRL] residential area and my Grandparents' Church right on the corner
this is what the bail off for the independent brake means. "bailing" off the locomotive brakes . Engineers are required to do this each time an automatic reduction is made on the brake pipe to prevent brake cylinder pressure on the locomotive from developing .
i cant believe the detail they did an amazing job with the Cumberland yard and all the scenery is spot on im from Cumberland and it was cool seeing this my dad was a conductor and it was like riding on the train with him i would love to hear what he would think about this if he was still alive thanks for making the video im going to get this sim now that i know how good it is
The "yellow dot" marks a Yellow or "Caution Signal" this means that the next signal is Red or "Danger" and that you should slow down and prepare to stop at the next signals, a flashing yellow or "Advance Caution" means the next signal is Yellow (Caution) and that the signal after that is Red, green means "All clear" and that the next signal is Either going to be Green or Yellow, but not Red, and that you can continue at line speed. Just thought that might be useful to know!
@@Sinnbad21 You should stop before you pass the light, that comment can be a little confusing, but what I meant was that a yellow signal means the next signal is red, and that you should slow down and prepare to stop FOR the red. The red signal in trains is similar to the red of traffic lights, you don't go through red lights on the road, the same applies to the rails.
@@Sinnbad21 No problem, but my knowledge is in trains in general, not specifically TSW. However, because it's such a realistic train game, all the rules from my general train knowledge apply here, so I can't tell you the length of routes, for example, but how to read signals, that I can do.
Bailey Chap Do you know the differences between all the different brakes on the trains? Auto Brake, Independent Brake, Electric Brake, Emergency Brake, Direct Brake, etc... there’s a few more I’m forgetting
He does it again! Love trains and love GrayStillPlays: perfect marriage. B) Will take some switching back to Train Mechanic Simulator since every knob and switch is controllable in this game. :P
That is very accurate model in those engines were made in the late 80s and early 90s primarily so back then they didn’t have all the digital displays that we do now
ive been subbed sinced 79K been watching every video since, your never scared to play new/diffrent games and your vids are well edited and good and long. please keep up the good work!
Gray the dynamic brake is putting power to the engine but it is reversing the traction motors and you have to put the throttle to neutral before using the dynamic
The independent brake affects *all* locomotives in the consist, that is what some of those hoses between the locomotives are for. And on a grade you'd want you use the dynamic brakes.
that's pretty accurate for the older diesel electric trains from the 60s up to some that are still in service the newer ones are more digital gauges and switch placement changes
If I were you Grey when you are slowing down/braking don't switch the reverser to Neutral while the engine is moving. Switch the reverser only when you are fully stopped.
Even though the secondman was an NPC I still feel uncomfortable watching Gray do stupid things while the secondman is just watching him with a blank expression.

Remember back when Gray didn't try to break the game
OutsideXbox&OutsideXtra seem to have began playing these sorts of games too
*didn't have to try
I have amnesia
man those times are just probably a hoax gray always breaks the game
And actually tried playing them
Real engineer here: You *have* to use full brightness headlights is the direction of movement per FRA regulations. (With exceptions)
Even in daylight you put them on bright? I never knew that!
Yes, we have to be visible from a very long distance.
Aah, okay. Ty for the information.
Okay, thank you ironmatic
but haha this is a game. THERE ARE NO RULES IN GAME *LOGIC*!
When you come to a crossing: blow your horn twice long, blow your horn once short, and blow your horn once long until your loco starts to enter the crossing.
Conrail 1634 AAaAaAaaaaaxxxdeexxex
@William Shearn bell rings automatically when horn blows.
@William Shearn I know only the freight and amtrak have them.
No s***
Don't forget your wig wag ditch lights. Gotta make yourself as visible as you can.
*opens window* "I can hear a diesel engine! Thats a sound i like to hear! *closes the window*.... Makes no sense :D
Just as I heard it too :)
Goes to train engineer job just to piss of people and say so when is my " training " and multiple train puns , just to get slapped in the face by the conductor
Your're off the rails mate.
Phill dick head
More of this! It looks beautiful.

That's incredible how accurate that is. Giving me an anxiety attack when you dint check switches or anything you're supposed to do. Nightmares
17:07 “oh no, my Engineer man is gone! I don’t know, maybe he’ll be back some day!” 😂😂😂😂
you my friend are so funny i was so enjoying the vid love when you were speeding and stood up front man i was in tears 😃 you are the best
how am i suspecting that somehow grays train will turn into a glitchy plane?
Because you probably remembered the vietnam war of computers while typing this.
That was like 8 safety violations just crossing from engine to engine twice.
3:18.he just kind of exists 😂😂

Gray come up for air. I have asthma. You make me breathless. With all you none stop talking. PHEW!!
19:38 those are where farmers keep their grain. There is a huge one of those by my house.
this needs VR support!
I'd buy it then!
THE JA ARMY really
You explained the dynamic brake almost spot on!! Great job!
"Its a loud ass day today" -Grey
Love you trainstillplays
Callan Burns its not train still plays its graystillplays😡😡😡
your channel art is amazing gray
I used to work for the rail road, that is extremely accurate.
The city you start in at the beginning of this video is Cumberland,md where I live lol
Very big train yard here
That's cool! My Grandpa worked at the yard for years and lived in Cumberland his whole life, so I've been there a few times as a kid :) it was nice reminiscence when Gray started the game out there.

The first engines are 3800 horsepower SD40-2s.

I'd like to see more of this game 😃👍

i live one house ,next to the train tracks you get used to it, my friends always ask if there a earthquake happening lol love your vids man
I'm so excited too watch videos
Greystillplays: sorry I'm not a train master
My brain thinking: no....... he is a train JEDI
I want Grey to play this game again!
AND BREAK IT!
Remember to use your horn when going through a crossing
my summer freight train
just want to say that theres a update for train
lolbaasgamesnl nl nooit gedacht dat hier te zien
this offended me
be offended somewhere else
nobody asked you though, so, like, are you one of those people that shows off their passion, I mean, I'm a pilot but I don't walk up to everyone and yell "look at me I'm a pilot, I'm so cool, look at me!", so yeah, fuck you too dude
Hey....
I LOVE THAT GAME
i am happy your playing a game about my cousins
LOL
I almost died
What's your outro song?
@@jw-productions I don't think he has one
I identify as a train myself
ahhh the nostalgia of this video! Im obsessed with trains and train sims. Train Sim World 3 just released and it reminds me of when i bought the first one right as it came out. I thought it was amazing! so many good memories
Gray! You clumsy little guy!
Only Gray would break a train instead of just derailing it lol

Gray train dropping beer and sausage everywhere.
I knew the game was missing something.
If you were his biggest fan you would have said he's better than all the other youtubers, not just most of them, thats implying theres some better. :P
same but is the BEST #1
I like this comment
Giganotti ip
Like the video. Enjoy your humour. Subscribed to you channel.
I have a game on my phone I was driving a steam locomotive and derailed going 96 mph
love the vids keep it up and what's up
This guy is hilarious 😂😂😂 I broke that train too 😂😂😂
Love your videos man! You have such a great personality! Would you say this is similar to Train Simulator?
It's supposedly the next uh...platform in the genre.
good one
I have TSW 2020 on ps4 extremely realistic but wats the difference between the one i mentioned and TSW 2017?
I like the other train game a lot better, please keep making videos on that game
"look at all the carts on it"
TRIGGERED
*cough*
Wagons.
this game is really cool
OMG! Just shout up! Im trying to check out the game...
more videos on this would be great
Lowkey was hoping you would derail the train in Hyndman 👀👀👀
You be likin' these train games ;)
WHO HERE LIKES FUCKIN' TRAINS!!
yaaa
"I like Trains"
hell yes
Lee Allen me they fucking awesome
do you have a problem with trains i love trains
Nope. No problems. Trains are neat.
Awesome vid keep up the good work ;)
this is what the bail off for the independent brake means. "bailing" off the locomotive brakes . Engineers are required to do this each time an automatic reduction is made on the brake pipe to prevent brake cylinder pressure on the locomotive from developing .
YOUR IN ENGLAND YAY!
You'll have to take the trains you break back to your Mechanic Sim game to sort them out!
i cant believe the detail they did an amazing job with the Cumberland yard and all the scenery is spot on im from Cumberland and it was cool seeing this my dad was a conductor and it was like riding on the train with him i would love to hear what he would think about this if he was still alive thanks for making the video im going to get this sim now that i know how good it is

I'm a railfan and I live in Philadelphia (and area that CSX serves). This is pretty accurate.
I can see you're on a train kick haha no complaints
He does it again! Love trains and love GrayStillPlays: perfect marriage. B)
Will take some switching back to Train Mechanic Simulator since every knob and switch is controllable in this game. :P
I love your voice. subscribe!!!
Who here is surprised he broke the train? Nobody? Me neither
Green light: proceed. Yellow light: proceed with caution and go slow. Red light: Stop approaching train
That is very accurate model in those engines were made in the late 80s and early 90s primarily so back then they didn’t have all the digital displays that we do now
MORE PLEASE!
😎I love it
ive been subbed sinced 79K been watching every video since, your never scared to play new/diffrent games and your vids are well edited and good and long. please keep up the good work!
I was all excited, I thought this was in MySummerCar ....
Gray the dynamic brake is putting power to the engine but it is reversing the traction motors and you have to put the throttle to neutral before using the dynamic
The reason there is so much detail is because CSX, one of the leading train companies made this game.
details of the locomotive controls is accurate. this game is fairly correct
Depending on your locomotive it’s pretty accurate as far as the CSX locomotives
I love this
That was probably a grain elevator gray. Maybe a little of the voice acting might give the missions some character after you pass the basics.
This guy acts like he never seen these things before in a video game @ 25:00, has he ever played GTA ?
The independent brake affects *all* locomotives in the consist, that is what some of those hoses between the locomotives are for. And on a grade you'd want you use the dynamic brakes.
that's pretty accurate for the older diesel electric trains from the 60s up to some that are still in service the newer ones are more digital gauges and switch placement changes
Please change the ingame volume, I've been having trouble with hearing horns etc. Otherwise really good video! Keep up the good work
Guess I must follow you since my name is Gray as well!
If I were you Grey when you are slowing down/braking don't switch the reverser to Neutral while the engine is moving. Switch the reverser only when you are fully stopped.
He should post more of these
gameing with jen
Even though the secondman was an NPC I still feel uncomfortable watching Gray do stupid things while the secondman is just watching him with a blank expression.
Is this an independent game you can install from a disc and go? Or do you need to use steam?
Please do more of this game
Play train crisis
Yellow mean's prepare to stop at next signal. Red is stop and green is go. Just like a stop light.
Used to work on this locomotive among others, the modelling is very accurate to the real thing, including the sounds.
"I dont think yo can dive off the car...Sadly"...wow you need to relax...and cut down on the RED BULL
The only reason there are speed limits in the yard and every where is just tone safe. But it is also to keep you from derailing on turns.
And good video
Geweldige info, heb dit spel ook sinds kort.
I would love to see you start cold and dark start up
