Anything less than Emergency and the air bleeds off and you begin to roll backwards. In Scenario 2, once I crested the summit at Tehachapi and began rolling downhill towards Mojave, there was no way to control the train on the downgrade. With the Train Brake in Emergency, the Locomotive Brake in Emergency and the Dynamic Brake at maximum the train just continued to run away. By the time I reached the yard at Mojave I was doing 110 MPH on a track with a 25 MPH limit. As soon as I hit that switch into the yard tracks the entire train overturned. My final score was more than -2,000,000 from speeding. The Dynamic Brake actually never worked at all in either scenario.ĭon't get the idea that I'm new to handling a train on a hill.
