wtf i had no idea train sim nerds were this close to us flight sim nerds holy shit. wild af that they have control setups for this

Great vid Blu. Run 8 is about as close as it gets if you are wanting something close to real life running and ops. Also, about the 23-mph speed limit over the pass. If I remember correctly 23 was part of an agreement between the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific back in the day. One railroad wanted a 20-mph speed limit, the other wanted 25 so they split the difference.

I worked for BNSF here in Seattle for 11 years as a Conductor/Switchman/Brakeman and I love the details of these simulators. I really loved working in the yards here as a hostler pilot. My shift partner ran the locos while I primarily worked on the ground as we built and air brake tested locos for outbounds, delivered them between the yards and roundhouse within the terminal.

I didn’t even know that this game existed. It looks really good. Great, educational video!

Always remember to bail that engine brake off when making a set with the automatic brake. With 3 on the point and 3 in the middle, it can cause you to rip the train apart. Most of the time, when i DB, it will automatically bail for ya. But sometimes it won't, so it's a good practice to bail that brake even when in DB. You can check that using the left shift or left Ctrl B. I was the one whit Shaun that was helping get your train tied down on the OC. If you ever have any questions, shoot me a message.

Great video Blu! I was a former conductor for BNSF from 2000-2006 and worked on the San Bernardino Sub, Alameda Sub and Cajon Sub. Really brought back memories for me as you left Barstow Yard. Run 8 looks amazing! Thanks for the video and bringing back wonderful memories for me!

I fly planes and I thought trains were simple. After this video I see that I was wrong 😂 Great video mate!

[drewharman]

Finally! Hope to see you do more of the sim in the future!

Blu, this is what i called premium content ( keep it up ❤ )

[dealwolfstriked]

I for years thought this was stupid. But lately with MSFS having the whole dam world modeled in detail and MSFS 2024 nearing release I wonder if a train sim will explode with full realistic lines across the whole USA or Europe or wherever.

I’ve been a Depot Member since 2016 and I work for a railroad. I’m pretty sure I saw you on the OC when you made this video!

This sim by far is the most realistic out there. I like how you said that you are one piece of a large puzzle, it is a great analogy. Lastly I think you did a great job showcasing the sim as well as telling everyone how awesome The Depot is!

[Cammed_okie]

Any time you are moving you should have your headlights on bright/aux. example for when you were in the yard. If you have them on dim it could be mistaken for the end of the train like in a DP scenario.

Great video, might have to try this sim out!!

[josephfugate]

Thank you for another great video. You are doing an awesome job and I love watching.

[charlietaylor]

This game is amazing so realistic love the video hope to see more of this train game 😊

[Paco_Gaepedores]

This is probably the most realistic Train Simulator woohoo ❤

[ventures]

I'm SOLD and currently downloading! Getting tired of flying everywhere 😉

[rain]

wow man, i found about this game today, and already i love it!, i will be looking forward to buy it in near future, but i will have a lot to learn about controls in that game

[TreyBiscoe]

It’s not OPINION about it, it IS the best simulator and the most realism amongst any simulator dedicated to train operation.

[damderrick]

Run8 is my favorite. TDW rarely sees any action on my PC.

12:01 You are obliged to put the switch back in the normal position after putting it in the overturn position and then lock it!
