Derail Valley – Mega 2000-Ton Train Build & Shunting Challenge at the Harbor EP 48
11Welcome back to Derail Valley with DarthVegan! 🚂 In this episode, we tackle an ambitious logistics challenge — assembling a massive 2000-ton freight train in the Harbor using two DE6s and a DH4 for shunting. From choosing the best-paying jobs to navigating tight yard maneuvers, it's a shunting-heavy day full of tight turns, explosive ammonium nitrate, and classic Derail Valley physics fun!
💥 Will everything fit? Can we avoid derailing the plan (or the train)? And how much cash will this beastly cargo haul bring in?
📍 Key Locations in This Episode:
Harbor Yard planning & weather update ☁ ️
Prioritizing jobs to the Farm, Steel Mill, and Goods Factory
Shunting chaos in the D, E, and G yards
