cargo train coasting

#1 Post by Space_Night » 29 Oct 2013 22:38

having sat at the level crossings on numerous occasions, and watched the ELECTRIC cargo train roll by, I have to ask how it is drawing its power as the pantographs are in the LOWERED position, and the track does not have third rail DC, yet the TGV runs by with its pantographs in the RAISED position.

(by the way can someone add more cars to that TGV?)

Maybe it has a fuel-powered mover.

There are no diesel powered EuroSprinters. And there's only one locomotive.

I think mine and reefs suggestions are more likely, either Yoda is pushing it along with the force, ORRR its plain magic

...down hill pfft who ever heard of anything rolling down hill :lol:

Train pantographs

Why the trains in the game are not using the pantographs? There are overhead lines, but the trains are not using the pantographs! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
