This session is for Austral Bay v5a. All the items of rolling stock needed by the session will be downloaded from the Download Station when the session is installed, though Download Helper may not capture the loco crew, kuid 44090:57003, for the R class steam locomotive and you may have to download this manually.
Bruce, this is your final on-road assessment for passing as a steam locomotive driver on our railroad.
Check your R class locomotive, load the hoppers behind you with coal by spotting them between the yellow markers, and proceed to Anderson.
At the triangle south-east of Anderson make sure that the switch is set for the left diverge to take you east to Sundermeyer.
At the triangle at SevenSeven, make sure the trailing switch is set to take you down South Pass to Austral Bay.
Because of the heavy trailing load, you are authorised to climb Sundermeyer and VanDenH banks only if you will not receive a signal check at the approach to the bank.
At the Shale Oil Refinery unload the hoppers by spotting them between the yellow markers.
Sign off at Refinery loco.
Class 1 railroad trains will be running at 10 minute intervals on the concrete sleepered track. You must give them priority at all squeeze points.
You are authorised to travel at up to 50mph except in yard areas where normal limits apply.
You are authorised to stop when necessary for locomotive purposes.
You should drive the locomotive to maintain speeds of between 35 and 50mph.
A map and a readme file are included in the folder containing the session. The readme contains detailed instructions on driving a steam locomotive in Cab Mode.
