- Alas it's here, the latest North American route and add-on from Dovetail Games for TSW2: the Clinchfield Railroad.
From Elkhorn City, Kentucky to Dante, Virginia - the in-game route climbs and descends roughly 40 mi of numerous grades and slithers through the mountains, hollows and tunnels of Appalachia. The route is dotted with coal tipples, processing facilities and almost half a dozen branch lines to boot. Join in as I take a brief look at what the CRR has to offer
Rolling stock included is...
F7 A&B unit
SD40
100t and 70t coal gondola
Box and Reefer cars
CRR caboose
----------
The Clinchfield was the last Class I railroad built in the U.S. east of the Rocky Mountains. The 266-mile railroad provided access to numerous scenic wonders of the Appalachian region and is probably best known for the state-of-the-art railroad engineering techniques applied in its construction, as exemplified by the Clinchfield Loops climbing the Blue Ridge Mountains north of Marion, North Carolina.
The Clinchfield Railroad began operating the line December 1, 1924, and for many years it was leased jointly by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad and Louisville and Nashville Railroad. When the L&N merged with the ACL's successor, the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad, effective January 1, 1983, forming the Seaboard System Railroad, the separate operating company was unnecessary and was merged into the Seaboard. The line is now owned and operated by CSX Transportation as their Blue Ridge Subdivision (Spartanburg to Erwin, Tennessee) and Kingsport Subdivision (Erwin to Elkhorn City).

So I work with the real Clinchfield 800 everyday and I have to say that they got the cabs great on these. I’m glad to see that they put the original EMD Factory control stands in these and not the modern AAR ones like most F units and your modern freight Geeps have like in Sand Patch. We have kept the original control stand in 800 like seen here to preserve historical value even though they are now few and far between due to modernization. In fact the control stand and 24 brakes are so obscure in the modern railroad world that we have to tape a control sheet in the cab just to explain how to cut the air in and out when we have had to ship it out via Norfolk Southern and CSX. I’ve watched your videos for awhile now and you do great work, keep it up!
Must be great working with living history like that. The 800 used to be down here near my home over in Leesburg as an excursion train, sadly never got to see it tho. Shes a beautiful engine

Just download it this a few hours ago love it already.
I love it because I live right next to this railroad in a town of Bostic North Carolina and I love it so much. And this is where the Charlotte subdivision and the Blue Ridge subdivision come together
I just hate the sd40-2 horn. But other then that great
@@CSX-li5vr Yeah I think it could do better
@@GamingOnTheRails019 Yeah, Also they just used the same horn from the CSX.
Charlotte Subdivision is owned by CSX and goes from Monroe, NC to Bostic NC and the Blue Ridge Subdivision is about half of the Clinchfield Route and the Kingsport Subdivision makes up the other half of the Clinchfield Route and boy of those are owned by CSX
Is Bostic on here
CSX has brought one of the old ClinchField locos back. Seen it in the Santa train that goes to Kingsport TN
👍. The crr 800 f7 was down here in Fla for a while, never got a chance to see it in person before it left sadly
I already made a santa fe livery for the f7
How about a screen shot?
@@dejohdenny2870 it is on my xbox so I will try.
It looks good though.
what grinds my gears more than anything is when the horns are half-azzed.
1000%. Horns are a massive part of NA rr'ing - they must know this. I get that covid locked down scouting for them... but honestly what was their excuse pre-covid
@@schnauzahpowahz Idfk. But I will say that Jointed Rail did so fking good with the SD40-2 that I purchased for Train Simulator 20XX not long ago. It seems like only the purchased items from other sellers is the way to go. Idk if Train Sim World will ever have this. but that loco is so good. AMazing horn, bell, class lights, mechanics. All around my favorite loco so far out of any train simulator.
i really liked the sd40 this is the early 80s units i miss working for clinchfield
Definitely looking forward for you to try out the scenario called “The Setup”
While the outside is pretty well detailed, DTG really did get lazy on quite a little bit concerning the F7.
The rear of the cab didn't have any of that stuff set in to the electrical cabinet doors as built. (Can't say what CRR 800's cab looks like today, but probably not all that different.) Engine start switch is towards the front of the prime mover (Generator is considered the rear) with the layshaft and governor, and the isolation switch (Stop/Start - Run) was located at this location as well if I remember the EMD manual correctly.
The E8 was the same way, except for there obviously being 12-567 prime movers, so there would be two of these stations.
Stuff could have easily been known if they had just bothered to look lol
As for the SD40? I can't say for sure if it's wrong or right, but it could be right; A company I used to work for had a locomotive that was built as an SDP35 that had the Prime/Start switch on the control panel in the cab, but that may have been something SCL/SBD did when rebuilding them in to the "H15". Otherwise it would be similar to the SD40-2 from Sand Patch Grade.
Just found you out and when you happier then a "pig in shit" I knew then I needed to subscribe.
😆 i appreciate it
Pretty decent "Look See" Thanks.
Look see 😄
I’m 4 months behind…. I’m binge watching… ✌🏼
I wish the graphics on TS22 were like the graphics TSW2.
Amazing
A note, as per the brakes being weird, you must cut out the other loco brakes - theyre cut in by default confirmed here

i whish the horn for the f7 was a lesli a200
right
Omg someone that actually speaks.
🤣. I know it's not verbal gold but i try

They need to add a passenger scenario
Never gonna happen clinchfield is freight only
Kinda wierd that the dynamic brake fan was spinning despite the dynamics not being enabled.
I’m really disappointed that they used the CSX horns for the sd40
@@jacksonrailroad When DTG "plans" to do something, it usually means it will never happen.
Yeah it was to be expected unfortunately, if you're on PC - someone made a horn mod for it already. Id recommend checking it out if you can mods.trainsimcommunity.com/mods/c3-train-sim-world-2/c20-sounds/i905-crr-sd40-rs3l-horn
23:43 What's funny that
That literally sounds like METX402's Hybird M5 Or something like that for 2019 railroad franklin park railroad days
Yeah it sounds ok (interior wise), just not expected for an old F7 😉
M5s were almost standard on the clinchfield F7s. It definitely sounds better than the western pacific GP40s in train sim. I own an M5 myself
I really like the Clinchfield map, but I'm disappointed that some services are missing, and the branch lines are highly under utilized in service mode. It really kills the variety of operations on the Clinchfield. Hoping for patches that unfortunately probably will never see the light of day on console. Also an add on would be nice.
A RS3L would fit the SD40.
Did they ever get the horn?
love this sim where did u get it i worked for clinchfield
Is the clinchfield railroad only available if your online or is it in the game somewhere ? After you play the game for a while. I have the game on ps4 by the way.
Its dlc, just gotta buy it off the marketplace in PS store
The horn on the sd40-2 is the same thing for the CSX. Dovetail is really lazy making new and more realistic horns. Atleast make it like a santa fe. American trains( Just the frieght trains.) horns are soo bad and overused.
Beware the Clinchfield curse
56:56 can they stop using that damn train horn as the default?
No
No they cant 😆
Luckily some modders take it upon themselves to fix them.
@@schnauzahpowahz have they added the rs3l horn as of may 24th?
@@TearsPlays nope 😂
Not a lot of AI traffic it seems
Well for what it is IRL, they ran coal and bridge traffic for other RR's. There prob was a bit more traffic but not much
It’s a single track line so of course there is not a lot of ai traffic
@@Scottish_Transport_Explorer single track doesn't mean anything. What do you think sidings are for?
