Try as I might, I've been unable to get the loaded coal train over the mountain and on to Richmond in Cab Mode, for the Coal Country session Coal to Richmond.
I saw the video by Flamerailzz, and he seems to be able to make it over, maintaining a blistering 10mph pace with notch 8 on the throttle and sander active.
I have tried to duplicate his actions in the cab, as well as experienting with all sorts of different strategies, but so far with no success. Duplicating Flamerailzz's actions, I am pulling at 10mph on notch 8 with sander on as I cross the small girder bridge (just like he is), but shortly after that, I bleed speed to 9mph and wheel spin takes over. I can't get past that first curve.
I've tried blasting away at over 25mph up the hill, notch 8, sander going, and sometimes make it to the long trestle before all my speed has bled off and I'm spinning wheels again.
I'm not sure how Flamerailzz achieved this. Magic? Maybe there is some trick to it. If anyone has some suggestions, please let me know. I love a challenge but this is kicking my butt.

- The route looks wonderful in TR19. Thanks Scratchy and JR. It is so atmospheric!
