Zugfahrt auf besonderen Auftrag 2: On sight after Zs 7, 400-meters-rule (Train Sim World tutorial)
Connecting the dots that we have jotted on our mental map especially in the videos about train services on special assignment after signal Zs 1 ( • Zugfahrt auf besonderen Auftrag 1: 40 km/h... ) and train services vs. shunting services ( • German Signalling: Zugfahrten vs. Rangiere... ), we are finally discussing the rules for running on sight after getting a Zs 7 caution signal (Vorsichtssignal) and starting a train by marker light (Abfahrt auf Kennlicht), before we develop a "master cheat sheet" containing the most relevant information about the different "speed regimes" that can apply when getting started at the beginning of your service.
Full regional rail (Regionalbahn) passenger service on the Bombardier EuroSwinger DMU (DB Baureihe 612) from Aschaffenburg to Miltenberg along the border between Bavaria and Hesse in Southern Germany and Dovetail Games' scenic Maintalbahn DLC for Train Sim World 4, featuring a short tutorial about why and how long after getting started as a 'train service on special assignment' by a Zs 7 caution signal (Vorsichtssignal) you have to drive on sight, max. 40-km/h (34:23), what you have to do when getting started by a marker light (Kennlicht, 44:05) and finally a "master cheat sheet" governing all the different "speed regimes" that you may encounter in the game (53:29).
