VL-80 electric locomotive, 1980

Accidents on the railway There are animals on the road. Since the train can't brake immediately, you can use a horn or whistle to scare off the animal (most often deer, elk, wolves, wild boars, etc.) A fallen tree (anywhere) if you hit any interfering object on the railway at high speed, there is a chance that the suspension (reinforcement bars) can be seriously damaged.

Slippery rails. You can always add sand under the wheels for better traction.

There are saleswomen and salesmen at the kiosks... (depending on the shift) where you can drink coffee, latte, or Soviet energy drink.

Neutral inserts: areas in which there is no electricity. On the power poles there are always signs indicating 'beginning of neutral connection' and 'end of neutral connection'. These happen rarely. To avoid damage to the VL80, the current collectors must be lowered to the neutral zone and raised afterwards.

Moscow and the Moscow region railway speed limit 50-30-20 km per hour. Anyone can issue a task over the radio. The maximum that will be possible to transport is 18 cars.

VL80 may be damaged or broken, such as: Fuses, chassis parts, brakes (outside) lamp-buffer lamps and a spotlight. Breakdowns are rare and not too frequent for a more realistic game.

For the radio to work, you need to turn it on yourself. A male voice comes from the radio dictating the Task, the cargo (where it is) and where it needs to be delivered.

Saint Petersburg is a big city. (ru) no more than 20 km per hour for freight trains. Several different tasks for transporting cargo to either Novgorod or Moscow can be issued over the radio at once:

• To Novgorod there are 9 diesel cars, near platform 4 on the right.
• to Moscow, 15 wagons with crushed stone and sand, at platform 3 on the right.

The city of Novgorod has depot n24 There is a station next to the depot (you always have to be careful, as there may be people on the tracks) At Novgorod station they give an order on the radio:

• Coal transportation. 14 wagons. Platform 3 on the left. Deliver to St. Petersburg and leave at platform 5. In Novgorod, a rule of no more than 30 km per hour on the railway has been established. At 12 km to St. Petersburg there is a 'neutral zone' (to avoid damage to the locomotive, the current collectors must be lowered to the neutral zone and raised afterward). This information is received on time by radio.

VL 80 can start moving only after the following actions have been completed: Switching on the auxiliary compressor. Lifting current collectors. Turn on engines BU1 (then press the release button), KVP2 (then press the release button). Preparing the brake system. Activating the alarm (i.e. coding the movement) Switching on the fuse above the cabin door of the first section. Removing the hand brakes

Additionally, this train has the following on its control panel:

• switching on the light in the cabin and the lamps (also the spotlight)
• feeding sand under the wheels (if the iron wheels slide on slippery rails)

Soviet electric locomotive, green color. cannot control itself because it is not a living character, and is not a character. (just a technique) This electric locomotive is intended only for transporting cargo from city to city. Every time a task (order) is started, a railway worker approaches your locomotive and hands over a consignment note, which you must hand over when delivering the cargo at the next location.
