[RO!] This hill is so steep we can only pull 1 car at a time! RAILROADS ONLINE!



@kANGaming and I run up our new Iron Mine line in Railroads ONLINE!… and it doesn’t go well. At all. I win the pee cup race, in this full-picture length podcast of a railroads online episode.

  1. If you want to build bridge’s higher than there supports you can build a bridge/groundwork at a lower level and then build the higher bridge on top. ( also the reason you can build from certain bridges is because the supports won’t reach the ground)

  2. This was an Hilarious video, and when I heated “Smells like kenosha” I said oh no multiple times.
    I’m gonna meme a bit here but here we go

    Hyce: doesn’t like anything that is geared and made by or for logging railroads

    The geared locos and the Uintah mallets:

    Geared locos- you may have drivers and no gears but you are one of us brothers

    Uintah Mallets- agreed brothers we are one in the same…. For overall crappy railroads

    Also speaking of the Uintah I made a parody of C.W. McCalls song “The Silverton” and I call it the Uintah and I may or may not release it to the public

  3. It’s not as crazy as the Uintah, but up here in Canada we still did wild things with standard gauge. Narrow gauge wasn’t really a thing hear, at least on the mainland. Instead, the Canadian Pacific had to build 8.5 miles of 4.5% madness to get off the continental divide at Kicking Horse Pass into Field, BC. Supposedly, the very first train to try it got away and kenosha’d off the mountain, killing the crew. How they found someone brave enough to take the second train down is beyond me. There’s a picture out there of a7 car passenger train with one road engine, one mid-train helper 2 cars back and another shoving on the rear. All of them flat-out trying to get up the grade. They kept this going for 25 years until they scraped together enough to build a 2.5% alignment with 2 spiral tunnels. Every 10 years or so, a train will lose its air and take an express ride down towards Field. One time, a train stared down the grade with 84 cars, and arrived in field with only the two engines attached after taking the worlds scariest roller coaster down the hill. Apparently you can still see gouge marks in the spiral tunnels where 40 cars piled up like crushed beer cans. Mountain railroading is scary!

  4. I see somebody other than myself is building with the Uintah Twins in mind…(although mine is less gradient based and more "Why do I keep ending up with Moro Castle" based)

    Also, when I was at Victorian Iron Horse, I saw you guys shift the Antonito excursion consist out of the station with just RGS 20: she was slipping, spinning, and no doubt pissed off, but that was a hell of a show. and as I said to one of the other guys watching, "How RGS is that?!"

  5. I was decorating my Christmas tree today and I found an ornament of the RGS No.20 that I got from the Denver railroad Museum years ago when I was a small boi. I always loved that ornament, and now that I watch this channel I love it even more.

  6. I watched your live today and you said Polar Express that got remembered the Polar Express throttle is it a different spot than every single spot and every single game that you played usually supposed to be over the fireplace but no it was on top of the engine by the window is that how the engine was designed

  7. Thanks for making me feel a little better Kan and Hyce. I'm one of the wizards. I'm studying Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering. I love me a unit circle and the letter i.

  8. Somewhere I have some digitized film and pictures from the old Murray Logging Company railroad. This track doesn't seem that bad compared to what they had. Dodgy doesn't begin to describe it!

  9. If you have high grades I would probably get a three truck shay and instead of pulling the wagon up, push it up the hill they can usually push 5 up really steep grades and that’s for coaches so if it’s just flatbeds it would be 6 or 7

  10. Alternative name for the CR&P using the "Authentic Narrow Gauge Experience" moniker: Albuquerque, Navajo, and Golden-East Station.

    Also, loving the series.

  11. 44:30 you guys talking about classes you almost didn't pass… I'm an electrical engineer but I had to take a number of mechanical classes which I actually liked… except for Dynamics… took me 3 times to get through that SOB. Statics I could do in my sleep, and I really enjoyed bridge analysis, heat transfer was cool (no pun intended)… but dynamics I just couldn't see it. Take all the unknown points in statics, put them in a dark room, then ask, where will they be tomorrow?

    No friggin idea!

  12. I love how much i learn from these video gaming streams. It's absolutely amazing.

    Is it just me or do the trains in this game resemble models? Is that a stylistic choice or is it just because the trains represented really were that small?
