US signaling (BNSF): Hauling the really big ones down Cajon Pass (TSW | US signaling tutorial)

Experience the power and strain of hauling close to 15,000 tons of grain and steel in a train with seven locomotives and close to a hundred cars, more than a mile long, up Cajon Pass and then battling the relentless grade in the endless journey downhill. Freight service (grain train) from Victorville to San Bernadino in Dovetail Games' Train Sim World 3: Cajon Pass, showing the employment of the different brake systems when grading and running downhill, with short tutorials covering both the basics of the regulatory framework for US signaling (23:01) and the BNSF signaling system (52:35), including cab signals (1:01:30). At the end, live demonstration of how going a little bit too fast downhill, thus applying too much air brakes, being forced to do a running release, lack of signal position knowledge and poor visibility can lead to a sad SPADout (1:53:26).
