I dunno, maybe I’ve been so heavily trained on the rules, I’m just overly used to it & don’t know any other way.
If you want a novel, us railroaders carry around rulebooks that are about a foot thick. Like they say on the railroad, “the rulebook is written...
I do understand your point. I guess I’ve become accustomed & tuned to rule compliance over the years. My biggest point is some who use this game...
I also have a basic guide to Canadian Rail Operating Rules (CROR) signal rules, used in Canada. CROR signal rules vary somewhat from American...
Many roads now have a zero-tolerance policy in regards to speeding. Some roads still have a 10% policy in place (for example, if the track speed...
Canadian Rail Operating Rules (CROR) Rule of the Day: Note: this pertains to CN Oakville Subdivision only. March 30, 2023 564. Authority to...
I noticed, particularly in the Oakville Sub, when completing either scenarios or while in journey mode, that there appears to be time limits for...
Which is infuriating, because we all paid for something that glitches. It’s likely a simple matter of correcting the alignment of that...
Also, CROR rules state that trains/engines must stop no closer than 300 feet from a signal displaying Stop. The exception is if a train/engine...
I have been stuck with a Stop signal here, having made several attempts. I attempt calling the RTC for 564 permission to pass Stop signal & get a...
VIA stops at only Aldershot (along the DTG portion of the Oakville Sub), I believe. GO Transit stops at all stations. Most VIA trains also make...
Your PCS is stuck on when this happens. This both cuts off power response from the throttle & the automatic will remain in emergency, regardless...
The CN Grimbsy Sub begins just east of Stathearne Avenue (connecting with the end of the Oakville Sub there) & continues eastward to Niagara Falls...
I would love to see DTG develop this route. I would likely purchase it, if they did.
I definitely like the CN GP9RM, though. These were all rebuilt in-house by CN back in the 1980’s, at their Pointe-St-Charles Shop in Montreal. I...
David/MLT developed many Canadian routes for MSTS & did a stellar job at it. I purchased most of these routes from MLT, back when I was using MSTS.
Although, the CP Laggan Sub (Kicking Horse Pass) & Mountain Sub (Rogers Pass) World be fantastic. Maybe, also the CP Shuswap Sub, which connects...
I definitely agree on the CN Dundas & Strathroy Subs west of Bayview Jct to Sarnia. This is a portion of their very busy Toronto to Chicago...
I’ve honestly tried everything too, to circumvent this. Including breaking up my power & leaving one of my GP38-2’s straddling the signal. When I...
Sounds about as bad as waiting forever on the Dispatcher/RTC to answer the radio or code your move in (clear your signal/route), in real life
Also, of note: on CN, 100 series = intermodal 200 series = premium manifest 300 series = interdivisional manifests 400 series = intradivisional...
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...
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...
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...
I just made a couple of posts about this. So, I guess I’m not the only one? I’m using XBox.
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...
Thank you for the map, Geloxo. One other addition to the map that may be pertinent would be the addition of dashed lines at Burlington West, where...
On Oakville Sub “Equipment Move”, after setting out the GP9RM in the yard, upon returning to the east end of the yard (Aldershot North), I...
Separate names with a comma.
