Coal Train From The Mine is Empty

[pschlik]

Right now, I'm running train TME 444042 on server EN 2. To my surprise, I managed to find a train that had just departed the mine in Katowice (at least, based on my location it probably came from the mine-there really needs to be improvement in the UI to make it easier to tell where the train I selected is coming from/going to, but that's a different discussion). Also, to my surprise, the train was completely empty.

I hope it would go without saying that an empty train should be going to the mine, not headed away from it! The cargo loads in the timetable really need to be looked at, since it's really disappointing to drive freight trains that don't deliver freight in a logical way.

We are aware of that. We will introduce different payloads for carriages soon 🙂

Just pretend you went to the mine to collect the coal, but the boss came down and told you that this months bill hasn't been paid, so you have to drive home again empty 😄

Of course this begs the supplementary question, do the wagon weights even change to reflect loaded or empty status?

And TBH, with SimRail in development for so long, are they really saying that no one spotted the wagons had no visible load - or was it just something else that got pushed to one side to be covered by the "Early Access" jacket?! 🙂

The E186 tutorial loaded coal train certainly feels heavy, with slow acceleration and greater wheelslip chances. The empty freight trains are a lot lighter in sim, so yes, weight do change, for sure Vern.

Of course it will affect weight change 😉

Thanks Gibber8 and UETAM. Look forward to trying a coal drag later.

Dragon accelerates very poorly with empty platforms. I'm afraid to think what will happen to the cargo.
