The Canadian Pacific loaded grain was train stopped on a 2.2% grade. The brakes gave way, the train ran away and ended up derailing and killing the three crewmen. Read the latest update here: http://www.bst-tsb.gc.ca/eng/enquetes-investigations/rail/2019/r19c0015/r19c0015.html Follow the...

Preliminary NTSB report: https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/AccidentReports/Pages/RRD19FR001-preliminary-report.aspx?fbclid=IwAR1Pk0ox2CdOIhCudL1SJMCw9Eq56quQ2mkC9LgeGmTjleXi6DbcCTl_NyY Brake failure for some, presently, unknown reason. Pretty interesing report.

Note that this post is about routes of the 1970's and later as secondary containment was not absolutely required before that time. To add realism to the industrial parts of our layouts, we need to be sure and add some type of secondary containment to the storage tanks containing hazardous...

This has probably been posted before but it's worth a view: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=366&v=8grHpQAB1jA Pretty interesting.

Ok, first off, I screwed up and somehow had the game install onto my C:\ drive and it's now eaten up almost 95 Gb. I need to get to another drive (where TANE resides). Is it as simple as copy and paste? Then change the install directory settings? And, after checking that the game works in...

Ok, I'm not super concerned about this yet as TRS19 is still very much a work in progress but . . . . Anyway, I've downloaded (again) all the Legacy of the Burlington Northern v2 files from the JR website and imported everything into TRS19 (Build 96000) and, with effort, got all the...

All, Here is a new sessions for Jointed Rail’s Coal Country route. The session is now available on the DLS. The session was developed with T:ANE Build 90955. <kuid:417385:100886> JR Coal Country: Coal Mine Loading You can either search for those kuid or use my username, DWBennett55, to find...

While working on some sessions for the Legacy of the Burlington Northern V2, I've noticed the route has a faulty dependency. This might have come up before but if so I missed it. The asset is: <kuid:321936:101444> RR Crossing 12x20M ST The errors, etc. are: ! <kuid:321936:101444> VE48: This...

Did the C&O buy the EMD GP9's configured with the short end or the long end as forward? From what I can find of pictures they seem to have the short end forward but I think the C&O GP9's I got from JR have the long end forward. I'm designing some sessions for the C&O Hinton Division and...

Did the C&O buy the EMD GP9's configured with the short end or the long end as forward? From what I can find of pictures they seem to have the short end forward. I'm designing some sessions for the C&O Hinton Division and want to get the configuration of the loco sets correct. Thanks.

While developing a new industry in TANE, I ran across this interesting problem. When trying to have the AI drive to a trackmark near the end of a spur, the driver wouldn’t even move. The loco is on a track headed to a junction that will take it to the end of the track (EOT) trackmark. After...

(Note: All this work has been done in T:ANE Build 78667) Ok, I guess I have no idea whatsoever how the AI Driver works. I’ve been having problems with an AI Driver not correctly driving to a trackmark when the path to that trackmark is clear. The AI Driver will invariably attempt to take a...
