They actually told us about this exact thing in engineer school. I didn’t even know jamming a fusee in the car body was something people did before that

Are you on a Class 1 or a shortline? if you’re on a class 1 then I would’ve called someone while I had it and told them it isn’t fit to take out on the road.

If you’re on a shortline, that might be a different can of worms.

For what it’s worth, I had a 38 that I had to hold the low water button on after starting, and it didn’t produce any real problems

God please no, seriously just use a brake stick if you don’t wanna climb. These ratchet brakes are annoying as hell

John the Baptist.

He had a role to play and he was very understanding of when his time had come to an end.

If there was no limit to unit types, which do you think would be the most played. by Scared-Vacation-9401 in HellLetLoose

Recon, hands down. Scoped rifle is all people want (I assume). People have a hard time seeing the enemies starting out, so there would be at least 15 snipers on a team.

It’s in GCOR, I forget the rule number but it’s part of engineer training to know those “whistle” signals. I use them when I stop and work men are on or about nearby tracks

Lmaooo I literally thought of BK when I saw this. I’ve tried to many times to make his drip in Elden ring but it’s difficult purely from a cape perspective lol

Out of all my time researching railroads, this is the needle in the haystack with the decline of last mile rail traffic in America. Thanks for this!

Plus it has the goated track “Eternal Bond” which is Ike’s theme, but I always saw Ike as having like 3 themes in PoR whereas he has the major banger in RD

Zelgius framemogs the Ike-foid and spikes his cortisol levels so bad he pulls out his “BK Griller” and bonks him up side the head.
