A few years ago a car I was in stopped for a freight train heading into Chicago that had two locomotives pulling a bit over 200 cars. In the flat...
Cool idea, but I can see the legal aspects like licensing being a nightmare for defunct railroads, as well as finding accurate information about...
Here's a nice drone video of the newly opened flyover track on the CTA Brown Line, which is intended to relieve congestion at the intersection...
Matt said something in the stream to the effect that each car uses more CPU, and 50 cars is roughly the limit of the PS4/XB1's horsepower. You...
QA testers find and report bugs, they don't fix them or prioritize the fixes.
I also mentioned this either in the recent survey or in a post somewhere. Hopefully someone in development will also like the idea.
Trains run by huge batteries in freight cars? https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/11/can-we-run-our-trains-using-big-batteries/
I should mention that when allowing my PS4 to sleep with the game open (but never during a service), it has often, but not always, woken with a...
I'm in. I've never heard of a Slug before, so I learned something new this morning as well. Excellent post, thanks.
Sam gave a non-specific answer in a stream, where DTG has always been very clear that nothing official will be said anyway. He could have been...
I wondered once while playing Sand Patch whether every loco available on the field could pull every car available on the field. A total free roam...
Uh oh, seems that the unique architecture of Intel's 12th gen is causing problems with certain DRM software. Intel has released a list of 29...
Early reviews of the Intel 12th gen are out, revealing killer performance along with power consumption like politicians gulping tax money. Bonus:...
I'm a US player who's still pretty new to TSW and hasn't done a lot yet. I had meant to do a broad sampling of the game by now on my PS4 in...
We have a BBC accent equivalent also, informally called the "newscaster accent", although in our case it's a naturally occurring one from the...
(PS4 Slim) I just had my horn vanish soon after starting on Sand Patch service Q276 (AC4400CW) last night. "Horn on" still showed on screen when...
No, not came from ours, but sounded like ours. Then, as Factor41 said above minus the hyperbole, the British upper class changed the way they...
Tangential to the language discussion, I once looked up out of curiosity how our American accent evolved from the English accent, and found that...
The DTG folks always stress that official announcements will not be made in streams.
FWIW, Sam just streamed one of the Tees Valley passenger services end to end on Tuesday, for those who are curious about it. As a bonus, the...
Runaway Train is tremendous, but putting Tony Scott up against an Andrei Konchalovsky/Akira Kurosawa team-up is just unfair. Another great one...
You may not think the AC4400CW needed a big brother, but it got one anyway. I'd like to request this 6000 hp monstrosity and some equally...
It's an enjoyable movie. It's also a Tony Scott movie, so expect some ridiculousness of both the bad (a fatal accident early on that couldn't...
Clearly they haven't played it since the Rush Hour update. https://instantrimshot.com/index.php?sound=rimshot&play=true
Thanks much for the replies! If that Fisher Price keyboard had a USB port, it might be usable. People have beaten Dark Souls with Guitar Hero...
Just gave the PC version a try after using the PS4 exclusively, and wow, does the keyboard feel odd, especially just moving around. (I might have...
One impediment to longer routes might be the broken save feature, which creates the need to start and finish in one session. Which brings up a...
Well, why equip a locomotive with a horn that can rattle people's dishes from a mile away and then not use it at every opportunity?
The Chicago to Milwaukee run has a loco on each end.
Tragic news: The westbound Amtrak Empire Builder that left Chicago on Friday derailed Saturday afternoon in remote Montana. Three casualties and...
(PS4) I've been getting this with Sand Patch, but Sony released the 9.00 system software update a few days ago and I haven't updated, so I'm...
Well, it should have a fan/participant base that may be small, but is dedicated enough to be counted on for purchases. It should also be...
That was over 20 years ago, so no worries there. :D
...for working the brakes to maintain a safe coupling speed while reversing down an incline: brakedancing.
1) When doing yard work, I often have to stop anyway at "go via" points as I'm not able to set upcoming switches appropriately until the next...
Ah, thanks for the info.
Afraid I'm not familiar with that aspect at all. Are BNSF the Disney of trains?
Found an archive of vintage Chicago Union Station pics, and included was this amazing locomotive that looks like something out of a retro science...

Here in Chicago, two north suburban CTA lines used to have overhead wires, but those were eventually replaced with third rails for reliability...
Went into the Livery Designer for the first time tonight to have a look. To try out the workings, I decided to draft an appropriate livery for...
Haven't touched TSW since just before the upgrade, but things seem to be calming down, so I decided to give it a try. PS4 Slim, TSW2 CE plus TSW...
Not just random people on the street, but celebrities on camera. Here's Drew Carey in a classic Whose Line Is It Anyway moment. [MEDIA] So...
True enough. As they've shown since they got the Star Wars game license, EA aims to displease millions of gamers at a time.
Just want to say that you popping in on your weekend to offer what updates and input you can is appreciated, thank you.
Ah, music, games, and videos. What more do you need? Well, I suppose love is nice too, but in the meantime... Funny you should mention...
Thanks much for stepping in on your weekend, Sam.
Nothing was going to prevent that. The angry mob is all about yelling, not listening. That's why we have numerous redundant threads containing...
I was under the impression that this is why the initial update was moved from Tuesday to Thursday, so the game wouldn't be down for two days...
Just watched the current challenge. I'd like to say right off that I think this was a wonderful idea and enjoy these videos very much. I...
