    Sometimes it's good to post, so others people know they aren't alone. Yes, you are right. DTG don't give a damn about fixing bugs especially trophy ones on the PS4. I started a support ticket complaining about this on TSW 2020 and they first off lied about it not being an issue. They said nobody else had the same problem, despite extensive threads such as this on their own forum.

    ITE they effectively told me to 'tough luck, we've moved on, you should do the same'. I vowed never to give them any more money and skipped TSW2, but got suckered back in with TSW3 and guess what, same old LOVE.

    Oddly, I got the Master Class trophy on 2020 back in July 2021, but only 29 people (on PSN) have it on TSW2, last being in January, the previous being Oct 2022. As I said, nobody has it on TSW3.

    Stop signal at Aldershot North, as I mentioned in the Oakville Sub Red Light thread. The signal remains at Stop & I cannot secure a Rule 564 (permission to pass) from the RTC. Continuously receive the message “request denied, train in block” message each time I attempt to secure permission. I stopped the required 300 feet from the Stop signal, as required by CROR, before requesting permission. I waited for about 10 minutes at the signal on a couple of different occasions, before exiting to the Main Menu.

    I just made a couple of posts about this. So, I guess I’m not the only one? I’m using XBox.

    Sometimes this occurs in real life, when a locomotive gets wheel slip. The entire power consist will drop its load down to zero for about 30 seconds or so. This is a preventative feature on locomotives to prevent damage to wheels, traction motors & other equipment. Normally, the locomotive will gradually return to full load, after about 60 seconds or so. This normally occurs mostly in Run 8, as this is when a locomotive is under full load & putting out its maximum rated horsepower. However, I’ve seen this also happen in lower throttle notches, as well.

    First, the REAL CN train designation for this train is M39291, since it originates in Chicago. 2 would be used only if this train originated in Quebec, Vermont or far eastern Ontario. And, you shouldn’t be starting out in Hamilton Yard on this train, since this train doesn’t even pass Hamilton Yard in real life. M39291 is a train that operates from Chicago to MacMillan Yard in Toronto, so it would enter the Oakville Sub at Bayview Jct, coming from the Dundas Sub.

    Here’s how to decipher CN train symbols. I’ll use M39291-05 as an example.
    M=manifest train
    392= train symbol
    9=originating district/division (9=Chicago/Midwest)
    1=first section of train (normally CN nowadays only has one train section, the first section, if 2 were to be used, M39292-05, this would be a second section of this train, operating/originating on the same date)
    05 is the date of the month the train originated

    Also, of note:

    on CN,

    100 series = intermodal
    200 series = premium manifest
    300 series = interdivisional manifests
    400 series = intradivisional manifests
    500 series = locals/road switchers/yard jobs
    600, 700 & 800 series are used for unit trains
    900 series = transfers

    Another "In With the New" fail here, I cannot even connect the first hose to the tanker, I've tried replaying, repositioning until I'm fed up to the gills. I've probably completed this twice in TSW2 and 3, so why does it bug up in 4? (Xbox Series X).
