The DC Metro's alternating current (AC) motors have a "ringing" sound. It's often mistaken for "gears" because it sounds like gears changing. The same sound happens when the train slows under 10 mph as when it accelerates to just under 15 mph. When it's slowing, it's the regenerative braking using the motors as generators, and the resistance causes the train to slow down. The reason the tones change is technical but it has to do with changing the electrical current being fed to the AC motors.
Look up Rohr 1000 series, and you will hear and see the real thing accelerating. This train video sounds exactly like the real, maybe little different.
@saveus444 Those cars in the fleet have a very distinctive sound. They don't put those cars on the ends of trains anymore (because of that accident last summer)...
its because this simulator is free and its dowloadable from the internet and its called bve...............bve and microsoft train simulator are different things. if you want to get get this game i will tell u were to get it
Hey whats up I saw your video ON BVE for the DC metro. Can you please tell me how that works. I downloaded the file but nothing came up. I cant bring it up to play it.
on the right in the window you shud see a S you shud start slowing down the stoping is your thing the S mean slow down and then the station shud apper on the rihgt gray space
That's no problem. I have all the NYC subway routes except the V,B,G,Q,and D. Another question I have is that do you know how to switch views? Like to get outside of the train other then just being in the drivers' seat?
I got bve, but everytime i try to open it, it says "could not initiallte Direct3D"
Can you help?

dose the metro really hit speeds of 120mph?????
newdad123 2 years ago
BVE Trainsim measures in km/h. 120km/h is close to 75 mi/h.

what makes that secondary "whine" noise as the train slows down at the station (under about 10 mph)
