Freight train bisected by one of the Kentucky tornadoes. One train car was dropped on a house 75 yards away. [ATTACH] Full story:...
That's a cool idea. Seconded. One thing I've been thinking I'd love to see is a TSW version of the Discovery Tour feature in recent Assassin's...
NQuarter If you want to confirm that the banking comm is working, you can look in the window of the rear lead loco with the camera and use your...
Second this. A lot of effort showed on the screen there. Spectacular job.
Re. 15: How fast you were going? Matt stressed in today's streams that 30 mph is the sweet spot, and faster especially gives diminishing returns.
Oh, duh, seems obvious now.
9. What in the world is that thing on the left? 11. I think Matt was talking about this when he said in the stream that it wasn't working right...
I was reminded to post this when someone just mentioned two very close speed limit changes. There are actually several places in SPG where the...
My guess would be it's the result of the legal team covering all bases. Points for a quality clickbait headline for a collection of logos, though.

Whoa. Not much you can do there but climb onto the loco and praise the sun. [ATTACH]
How does this compare with the Epic store's policies?
Thanks! Looking forward to it.
The video is still up on Twitch, which is kind of a hole in the suppression conspiracy thing. Plus, problems are brought up and discussed on...
Not a question for the stream, but just to double-check: Is the start time actually 22:00 and not the usual 20:00 as also given in the schedule?
Oh, good to know. Thanks for setting me straight. I grew up in a house right next to the C&NW (now Metra) Union Pacific North Line and would...
Makes sense. Maybe my train was mostly empty. I don't think I've ever seen a train that big going through the city proper before. If a train is...
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:...
(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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
True enough. As they've shown since they got the Star Wars game license, EA aims to displease millions of gamers at a time.
