The two of us on the train

[ANONS]

Here is a very interesting proposal, it would be cool to implement to ride a train together, as a driver and, say, an assistant, just even driving for, say, 4 hours is boring, but at least with a friend it would be much more interesting.

I stated this idea like a year ago in polish section and got tons of dislikes haha, but I think too it would be funny. The players could also take turns. One hour I drive the train, next hour my friend drives, etc.

On the loco trains your friend could sit and do the horn for you at crossings

This could be a good feature for the American route. Because in the USA you drive with a conductor.

Another argument would be that in poland you have to have a second person in the cap if you have a train with a top speed of 130+km/h and the track and/or vehicle is not equiped with ETCS.

It used to be like that, but recently the limit has been changed to 160km/h.

That´s interesting. Do you have a reference for that? I really would like to share that piece of information.

or google "160km/h z jednym maszynistą etcs", you will get a lot more friendly to read news, however mostly in polish.

I really like this idea. it would give a game much more immersion with ability to take someone in cab and change turn in driving
