A coop mode?

[Krtek-JC]

Imagine this: you are shunting on a big shunting yard and then need someone to direct your train as you are pushing the cars backwards to couple with another set of cars.

Or: you are driving a seven car long distance train and want to be sure that the train is all clear for departure (e.g. door closed, platform is clear etc.)

Perhaps you end up being a bit lonely in the server and want to have someone around you at the time.

That is what I would like to see in Multiplayer: a conductor who you can invite to play with. Either as another player or even as an AI. This is the exact feature I was missing dearly on Train Sim World especially on the Sand Patch Grade - a means to operate the train as a team. Simrail already exceeds Train

Sim World in its immersion, despite it being in PlayTests, despite its bugs and fallacies. We can already have a Multiplayer where the Dispatcher literally sees the results of his work while the driver knows that a real person is just guiding his way through this great map.

Of course the feature I request is bound to not be a task too easy but this would really be something that could add an entire new dynamic to it and especially use the great opportunities that are given by this game.

With kind regards,

Another Coop possibility : 

- One train driver and one train controller walking inside the train to control tickets or just enjoying the view like a passenger

- One assistant train driver to watch for horn signal, to warm coffee or food for the team, to interact at the radio

what about the assistant driver?
if necessary, take over the locomotive control 

or he could learn to drive under the supervision of an experienced driver.

in Poland the rule is that up to 125km/h one driver is enough, above 125km/h there must be two drivers on station unless there is ETCS
