Aug-13-01, 07:33 PM (EST) "Pool Freight ( Whitefish to shelby)" LAST EDITED ON Aug-13-01 AT 07:39 PM (EST)This is to the creator of the new activity-Pool freight (whitefish to shelby)Heya There.. This be Aron from Oz..commenting on the Pool freight run...in short im loving it and looking forward to another...just one problem...I waited at glacier park after dropping of my helper....To find a train passing by..rather cool i thought..then i headed of..only to be confronted by another train which derailed me (this was past spotted robe , almost to browning)..fine i thought..maybe i shoulda waited...so next time i did..and along came the second train and i thought right time too move...as i had been there a while now...Only now this time i make it almost to browning when a red light hits me..so i thought ##### not again..hit the brakes and backed back to spotted robe..where i figured the switches would change and i'd finnaly be on me way (By the way I'd love to be a train driver ;} ) But as i sat and time ticked on...no Train showed and i was now facing a Red..So i gave up save in the knowledge that i'd saved after the second train had passed me back in glacier park...
My question basicaly is what do i do or what have i done wrong ? It was around 1235( Game time of course ) when i reached glacier park, was i there to early ? should there of been a train waiting for me at glacier or any stop there after ? Im not peeved at all...it just gets a little frustrating after seven hours (But hey im a sucker for realism ;} Plus while im on the topic..i went to BNSF web site to get the sheets...but i could no way print or save them ;{ any assistance in the first problem would be greatly appreicated...also a email adress that works would be great to...that way i wouldnt havta post it on here ;} looking forward to more activity's from you

Gooodbye and goodluck

Aug-14-01, 09:54 AM (EST) 5. "RE: Pool Freight ( Whitefish to shelby)" I found this also. When I got to the double track going to one track after Glacier, the AI train was sitting at the stop light. I sat there for a half hour facing the stoped AI train. It was his move since he was the only one with the track. After the half hour, I got an Activity Ended - Car Uncoupled.I have no idea but I emailed the author.bob Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Aug-14-01, 07:20 PM (EST) 7. "RE: Pool Freight ( Whitefish to shelby)" You guys were lucky. I dropped off my helper at Glacier Park as planned, then continued on toward Shelby. I was still on single track mainline when I hit a red and stopped. The AI train started out as a speck in the distance, then grew ever larger, finally plowing straight through the light at full speed and creaming me. Thus ended 3 hours 25 minutes of driving.I didn't email the author but I'd like to encourage him. I loved the little comments, and the activity was great, right up until the cornfield meet.Casey Jones Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Your browser print button won't work...you have to use the separate print icon within the Acrobat Reader box displaying the Montana Division ETT. Hit that separate icon and another box pops up, you fill in pages 12-15 to print, and voila! Worked fine for me. Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Aug-14-01, 08:40 PM (EST) 9. "I've made it to Cutbank, only for a coupler to fail,.. Help!" Hi GuysI have made it all the way to Cutbank without any problems at all (untill now), but I guess you don't need to hear this.All the AI trains run fine and always pass me on the double tracks. There is only one time that I have to wait at a Red stop signal and that's just before the bridge into Cutbank, where a mixed frieght train passes before I move onto the single track. All I can say is that I closely followed the speed limits and take note of all approach signals.Cutbank however is where my problem is. No matter how hard I try I can't make it up the hill and into the Cutbank yard without a coupler braking. I think it happens between cars 31 & 32. I even tryed to take the consist up in sections of ten at a time, but the couple still breaks between 31 & 32. Now this really is driving me mad,... I'm so so close to completing it.Any advice is appreciated, cheersTom Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Aug-15-01, 04:32 AM (EST) 14. "RE: I've made it to Cutbank, only for a coupler to fail,.. Help!" That pic reminded me of me first attempt ;} where i backed back to spotted robe..waiting for that ai train to pass me, but it just followed me to spotted and sat at the lights again..so the thing i did was reload save back to glacier and waited for hime to turn up..eventually after a while he did...after another accident with a 2nd ai... i went back to glacier again (after placing helper it is safe to go past and back over the lights at the bridge) So know ive reloaded and waited for 2 trains to come along...alas eventually it did ( after almost an hours wait) only to end up gettin a red at the lights b4 browning again !!! I to loved this activity for its notes and realism..i sure hope someone gets to the creator to find out just what where supposed to do ;}Good luck folks Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Aug-15-01, 03:42 AM (EST) 13. "RE: Pool Freight ( Whitefish to shelby)" Made it all the way to Shelby yesterday evening. Took me 4 hours 40 minutes to complete the activity.
Part for a couple of game crashes (way to buggy software this, save often) my only problem was a broken coupler at Cutbank once and a little problem with figuring exactly where to drop of the helper and stop in Shelby.
I backed up to much when dropping the helper in Glacier Park and couldn't get on to the mainline since the back of my own train was sitting on that track section (keep your engine in front of the signals when dropping the helper).
Then at Cutbank i had to try twice before getting past as I broke a coupler the first time, second time I was a little easier on the throttle and had no problem (and I havn't modified the couplers).
Last in Shelby it took a little figuring before I understood that I was supposed to place my engine next to the station building. He says to stop at the 'Depot' but I'm not native in english so I looked for a siding named 'Depot' but couldn't find one.
I was quite close to the speed limit for the majority of the run, at times only 1~2mph below the limit. Watching the same train struggling over Marias for 5 hours may sound boring but was actually quite fun. The amount of AI trains and equipment at sidings added to the experience. I do hope that he will be doing more activities.

Aug-15-01, 06:56 AM (EST) 15. "RE: Pool Freight ( Whitefish to shelby)" If you enjoy long hauls over the complete Marias route, check my website for three end-to-end activities (note the WB Pig Train requires the coupler fix to get through Cutbank and 1152.2).http://overseasrailroad.railfan.net/flarrfanI'm having fun with Pool Freight, the only constructive criticism being a little more pop-up direction on adding and dropping the helper would have been a plus. I did make the conductor jump off at 10 mph at Essex and thought I left him behind, but damn if he didn't find a way back on and then started offering me some stale-looking sandwich from that ugly grip of his. I am saved just across the Medicine Bow bridge after dropping the helper at Glacier Park, looking forward to getting to Browning tonight to see what happens.Also, contrary to expectations from the briefing info, I made it up the mountain at no lower than 13 mph without need for any sand. Even had to use some brakes in the snowshed area. Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Pool Freight ( Whitefish to shelby)" if youve dropped of the helper and left straight away..well..enjoy the reds !!! i waited for almost 40 mins at glacier after dropping of the helper, and 2 trains eventually went past...but i soon found another....good luck and if ya make it past browning let us know ;} Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Aug-15-01, 08:51 AM (EST) 18. "RE: Pool Freight ( Whitefish to shelby)" I didn't have any sanding problems up the pass either. Sounds like flarrfan and I have had the same experience from this activity.
Regarding the reds, I did not experience these. Not once did I have to wait for an AI train. Either they waited for me because I made it first onto the single track or we passed on a double track section. I think you have to keep the speed up so that you don't fall behind your schedule (or maybe you are to fast and that's the reason you're running into problems).
flarrfan; I'll be checking out your activities, they look very interesting.

Aug-15-01, 12:16 PM (EST) 19. "RE: Pool Freight ( Whitefish to shelby)" Noticed this in OkrasaGhia's post:(keep your engine in front of the signals when dropping the helper).Rather than backing all the way down in Glacier Hole to set off the helper, which allows the head engines to get past the signal and requires using the "Tab" key to get back out to the main line, I backed into the Hole just far enough to allow the helper to clear the main line, dropped it, and reconnected to the main consist. This keeps the head engines ahead of the signal!Proceeded to Browning, and went straight through with NO STANDOFF!Gotta run out for a bit. Saved past Browning and will complete later this evening.Thanks OkrasaGhia! Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Aug-15-01, 01:57 PM (EST) 21. "I just made it to Shelby" Thanks to all who helped, I just made it into Shelby. I had to increase the coupler strength to get through Cutbank though.All I can say to those who are having problems with the AI trains is to keep to your schedule by sticking to the speed limits. I've had no problems at all in that area.thanks againTomP.S. The activity doesn't seem to end automaticly when stopped outside Shelby station. When I exit using the escape key I end up failing the activity. Does anyone know how to finish the activity properly? Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Aug-15-01, 06:48 PM (EST) 23. "RE: I just made it to Shelby" Question, I haven't gotten to Browning yet so don't know if I will finish, but my eval after 1st save showed 2 min + over the limit through Columbia Falls. Every other activity I've run had a 45 limit thru Col Falls, and that's what I did on Pool Freight, without checking the track monitor, but apparently that's where my speed violation was. I'm wondering if I missed a special speed restriction on this or if my recollection of the 45 limit there is a "senior moment." Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Aug-15-01, 10:29 PM (EST) 25. "RE: I just made it to Shelby" Count me among the MIA account corrnfield meet between Grizzly and Spotted Robe. Tried again with a save but computer quit on me while crawling up the main at Grizzly. Tried to hit A key and may have hit A & Z or Shift A, monitor went black and flashing light indicating sleep mode but couldn't wake it up until I plugged it into this laptop. Kinda hoping it was a monitor problem but now looking at something more serious. Is it coincidence it went out when I hit keys? Been suggested to me it's a vid card, but neither the NVidia or the VooDoo2 I keep in the computer for ProPilot 99 will work. Don't know when I'll go Train Simming again now.

But all and all it worked fine and I really liked the inter-action with both the AI's and the Pop-Ups.Don

Aug-16-01, 04:45 AM (EST) 27. "RE: I just made it to Shelby" I to got the activity completed message. At first I drove to far but then backed up so that I had my engine next to the station building and then I got the activity completed message.
Completed it in 4h40 with very few speeding tickets (three if I remember correctly and each one only for a few seconds and very slight speeding).

Aug-17-01, 03:18 PM (EST) 33. "RE: Pool Freight ( Whitefish to shelby)" Well, I finally did it successfully. I previously had a stand off with an AI train at the light just past Browning. I went back to one of my earlier saves and continued at a slower speed and the AI got through before me. This left me with a green light.

Aug-17-01, 06:27 PM (EST) 35. "RE: Pool Freight ( Whitefish to shelby)" In my case, the problem was where the track narrows to one track after Browning.The first time the AI was sitting there waiting for the light and I had to wait also. So we both sat there looking at each other.The second time, I just went all out and ran the route from Shelby but the AI train passed me before I got to the light. I guess I went slower the second time because he was already past the light by the time I got there.I have no idea what or why this is working this way but I did finish it.bob Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
