UPDATE 5: Train collisions - can't wait to try this....

[Chris Solomon]

Way back in the past, one of the big attractions for the California State Fair was an event where they purposely sent speeding locomotives into head on collisions. - crazy right? well... I really want to set up something similiar in the game after update 5 comes out. I have gotten the trains in the game upto 245 mph. I eally want to see a collision and derailment of two trains colliding at 245 MPH.....😈😈😈😈😈

Don't get your hopes up.

Chances are they'll just ... stop.

Happy to see I was wrong about collision/stopping.

update 5 will also alter landscapes, so be aware of where you build your base.

Josh from Lets Game It Out is going to destroy those trains. Cant wait to see how hes going to break everything.

Can't wait to read all the crying about "oh noes, my trainz crashied and all my stuff fell into the void! How do I get it back it's not fair! wehh wehh wehh"

However, explosions would be nice. Crashed engines catch fire, tankers filled with flammable liquids go atomic, radioactive materials spill and make the region untouchable, and irradiate anything else in the load, ruining all your efforts.

i bet he will make a radioactive train of doom - and then crash it, just because he can.

speaking of which.... we know that the cargo containers will come off the rail flatbed, but i wonder what about the fluid tanks... will they burst open and spill their contents, potentially creating a hazardous mess? if so.... i want to cause an accident while having a load of nitrogen cryo fluid...... will be funny if they cause an area to freeze.

btw.... heres an old - and i do mean old, as in before they had sound with video, of the train collisions event at the california state fair....

in the video the trains are only going 90mph..... i wanna see the carnage 245mph will bring.....
