There’s no need to speculate over something that has already been stated as fact. I was repeating what Matt and others at DTG have said regarding...
Don’t read too much into it. It’s been stated by Matt multiple times they got as many recordings as they could on their 2 week trip to Los...
You’re only required to call out a signal that is anything less than a clear signal. If you have clear signals, you do not need to call them out....
I didn't even think about that. I should have posted it there. Can a moderator move this thread to the Guides section? Maybe pin it there? DTG JD...
There's currently less than 5- 6 car sets roaming around. They are not common anymore at all. They're generally used on weekends or for other...
The F125 is a very powerful locomotive, ESPECIALLY when you've only got 4 cars behind it. Power is added incrementally (one notch at a time) to...
I'm glad you enjoyed the post! This is stuff you don't think of everyday because you're so used to it so I really had to think about how to word...
Here's a link to a thread I created with more detailed descriptions of stuff including some Metrolink specific rules and procedures:...
You're welcome.
Yes. You can also create your own in formation designer. I don't see why it might be assumed it would be any different. I'm sure we can expect...
Thanks for this. This goes into further detail from the more basic description I gave. I tried to keep it less complicated than what some might...
For those interested, here's a detailed thread I put together with some more detailed information regarding Metrolink operations:...
Here's a list of all the signals in order that I put together. They are in order from Lancaster to Los Angeles.
It has come to my attention that some detailed information regarding some Metrolink signals, procedures, and otherwise, etc might be useful to...
It would be vastly different as both systems are indeed vastly different. They’re not similar. I’d rather have no PTC/other safety system over...
Okay, give me a little bit and I’ll get a detailed post put together with useful information.
Green/clear - maximum authorized track speed. Advanced approach/flashing yellow - maximum authorized track speed, prepared to slow down at the...
Maybe I should make a separate thread regarding basic stuff like this for Metrolink since now we have two routes to follow these rules on.
Here in the US, we use PTC - positive train control. It oversees almost all safety items like track speed, signals, special restrictions, etc. One...
It’s the same safety systems on all of Metrolink’s territory. It’s the exact same thing as on the AVL. They don’t cherry pick certain safety...
Urban, industrial, residential and flat. High speed running of 79mph. Pretty modern. People didn’t like a commuter route with mountain running...
As previously stated, Surfliner has been done over multiple platforms. Matt has specifically stated they’re trying to focus on new stuff that...
The Southwest Chief goes on the BNSF San Bernardino sub. This is the Metrolink San Gabriel Sub serving Metrolink only.
For the most part, yes. There are a few subtle differences on the exterior and the cabs are laid out different among the two. But otherwise, they...
At least we are getting the MP36 and Bombardier coaches. Combined with the formation designer we can actually make proper trainsets. San...
San Bernardino Line has the most frequency of any line. It has the most trains. People complained about the hilly, slow speed running on AVL and...
Bottom line, no matter what route they chose to release, people weren’t gonna be happy about it. There’s not a single route they could release...
These are my thoughts exactly. This has been planned all along.
I don’t think we know that’s just a re-skin. That’s just pure speculation. For one, the headlights are different on the preview shots of the...
I think it was planned all along. I’m sure they did plenty of riding and planning on the SBD line when they road and did all the planning for AVL....
Well, there you have it. Another US commuter line, expanding on the existing Metrolink DLC. I personally am excited for this one, maybe I’m being...
People need to remember too they’re going to focus on stuff they have a license for or can easily get a license for. They already have a license...
Haha, called that one a mile away in my speculation a few days ago. I guess we get our MP36 after all. I’m honestly not mad about this to be...
4mb? Are we living in 1995?
I would say they do trains very well. As far as modeling and physics goes. Sometimes sounds leave something to be desired. However, they really...
If I had to guess, for the US, it’s going to be a passenger route and not a freight route. And that route will either be east coast like New York...
We seriously need reactions on here just like on Facebook for some of these posts. Cause… :D:D:D:D:D:D (laughing reaction)
At this point, and I think this echo’s a lot of other comments, it should be one game version (just called TSW or something similar) that sees...
Separate names with a comma.
