Oops. (Or, how not to enter the military base.)

[jtsoutpost]

Well, it had to happen eventually. I had just paid for Hazmat 3, and decided to take two military jobs up to the base. I found the cars, connected them, and parked the loco by the military station before accepting the jobs. I figured, perfect run to get the bonus as there were only 7 cars, four with ammo, and 3 with supplies. I made good time going up, but since I had never been to the base, I was not sure exactly where it was. When I got closer, I saw where I needed to go, but missed one signal, that sent me to the turntable... I slammed on every brake I could, but it was to no avail.

Wow. How much was the bill? 😮

I don't know. I erased the savegame file. Here is another shot of it.

No, actually the latest savegame file, which erased that run, and the run before it. :(

This is why I like this game, when you screw up, the fireworks can be rather exciting!

Thanks for sharing the story :) This "horror" element of Derail Valley is what gives value to every successful run.

Sorry, I deleted all my screenshots from the cloud, now there is nothing to show here. :(
