In agreement with COPPA regulations, my videos are directed towards a 13+ audience. Trains are not just for kids, and anyone who thinks that can go stick their head in a toilet.
Let me ask you just a small favor. We are on track (pun partially intended) to 200 subscribers! If you like my videos and want to see more, help boost me to 200 subscribers. Furthermore, lets try and get to 750 subscribers by the end of the year. Socialblade says it'll happen on the 12th of January, 2023, but I believe in you guys. Make it happen!
The MILW F unit in the first train is awesome. Thanks so much. Its great to see all the MILW power running in revenue service again!
So great to see this video. I miss the Milwaukee Road...another great railroad with a sad ending.
....and the MILW cabooses very nice touch in these period trains. This is a great video. Thanks so much.
THE MILWAUKEE ROAD!
I used to love the variety of motive power you would see back then - before those damned ugly wide cabs took over like an invasive plant species. Not to mention cabooses on every train. At least I can come here and relive the way it was. Even the BN unit coal train was wonderful to see.
Glad you like it! That was one of the points of my channel, so I’m happy to see it used for one of the intended purposes.
The scenery, Milwaukee Road colors and equipment is superb. Love the BN F45 as well. This is another great video. Thank you.
Great work. Thanks,
I think this route should one day be released on Trainz 3
No.
@@DFWRailVideos it was just a idea I’m sorry and hope you have a great day
It's great to see Milwaukee Road it brings back memories 🚂 it's good to see bay window cabboses
The Milwaukee Road stopped operating in the Northwestern United States in 1980 and was purchased by the Soo Line Railroad in 1986.
awsome but your missing the trackside electrics and phone line POLES SO ICONIC! lOL THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES1
Glad you enjoyed. A lot of the routes I use are made by other users in the Trainz community, so I’m at mercy as to what they put in.
Excuse Me, where did you get the route? it looks cool :D
Hey everyone! Thank you for 200 subscribers!
Link to the NP boxcar at 0:25? Also where did you get all those 50ft boxcars?
JR has a few packs of 50 foot cars, and the NP boxcar comes with LoTBN II from what I remember.
@@DFWRailVideos I have LOTBN II Also have you been having issues with SP5 optimization or is it just me?
@@crr311sux5 This video was recorded before the update, but yes I have had a few issues. On the main menu screen I have increased GPU usage for some reason.
@@DFWRailVideos My game is a complete lagfest even when I run the lowest settings possible except texture quality which is set to max
@@crr311sux5 I run at midrange settings but I can run high settings with good amounts of FPS.
What route are you using? Its detailed to hell and back
It’s the Generic Appalachian Route on Trainz Forge.
I think trainz 3 should release this route one day because the scenery looks great and trainz 3 needs more Milwaukee road locomotives and hope you have a great day
Quick question, where did you get those TOFC at 2:01 Also nice video.
They're on the old RRMods site (rrmods.com). Use the Wayback Machine to get there, year is 2017-2018.
Thank you!
There were no GP38-2s..
Yes, there were. They were built starting in 1972.
3:53 where did you get that rs3k?
That RS3K is the default horn for the new BN SD45 on JointedRail.
Where did Milwaukee Road find the money to actually put down ballast and lift the track? Where did all this traffic come from? You’re talking about a railroad that couldn’t fill one train a day.
Wouldn’t be an interesting video if it was just one train inching its way down the worst track in existence, now would it? Also this video is two years old.
Where did u get the c30-7
1. It’s not a C30-7, it’s a U36C, and 2. It’s unavailable.
Is it not a reskinned c30-7? Also I think it’s on the DLS
Looks nice, the horn usage isn’t realistic in operation. But looks neat. 👍🏻
Forgive me if I sound stupid, but where did they blow the horn? I’m planning a second MILW video and I want more accuracy.
@@DFWRailVideos No problem, I was a Railroad engineer for 25 years. I worked for the Soo/Milwaukee/CP. Rule book says two longs a short and one long, 1/4 mile to the crossing and I stopped occupying the crossing. There are many other whistle signals but these are the crossing. The random tooting on the BN train seemed not real. Since the horn at these time where mounted on the cabs extra and random usages would not be used. It was loud in the cab. Food for thought. Any more advice I’d be happy to give.
Awesome, glad to have a railroader here. The reason I have trains blowing the horn for the camera is two things: 1, it serves as a warning to the person and/or 2, the engineer felt the need to give the camera a horn salute. I guess horn salutes aren’t very prototypical for that era. Thank you for the comments!
Also should mention, the BN train wasn’t being controlled by me. Trainz has a feature where you can make a train drive itself, and it will respond to whistle posts with two longs, a short and a long. However, it doesn’t adapt the signal to the speed it’s going, therefore it’ll sound the horn way earlier than needed.
@@DFWRailVideos I seen no whistle posts nor was that a proper sounding of one with the BN, train.
Awesome! Trains look so much better without all the stinking graffiti on them. And the cabooses, when I was young all trains had a caboose. Great to see them.
AI sucks, how can anyone watch this ai stuff?
This isn't AI, you idiot. This is a video game.
@@DFWRailVideos I guess you would know, as only idiots play video games. And it doesn't necessarily matter when GP38-2s were built, I've just never seen them in pictures ever, on Milwaukee's Pacific Extension, nor seen an F unit leading other than in the Tacoma area.
