How to handle Animals on the Tracks
Testing for this was done in the beginner train (SG6).

When you see that there are animals on the tracks ahead, make sure you know where your horn is.

For keyboard it is "X"

You don't need to slow down (SG6 has max speed of 100km/s and testing was done at that speed)

Honk your horn when the animal is less than 200m from you, don't wait too long there is a point (untested yet) where the horn will not save you in time. You can hold the horn as you approach and cross the 200m line and it will work fine.

Do NOT just hold the horn, use short honks.


I will attempt to update this as I learn more, but I am still doing my first contract and this is my first guide, so please bare with me.

I find that if I enter a zone of slower speed (or maybe a heavy load) and a turn I can get that message. I haven't derailed yet and only occasionally get fined for being in a used track due to no warning I can see and sudden red blocking signals.

So it's not a random issue same as deer, opposite train, snow on track... etc?
I thought all these are the same and we have a "minigame" solution to everyone (like the solution for deer is horn)

Derail warning happen when you are going to fast

I got it and also got it what to do when "incoming other train". But what should I have to do when I got the red message "you may derail"? Slow down? Press a button?

Just confirmed that hold the horn does work and updated the 'guide'. I have seen no affect from honking at the warning signs, I only the the animal on tracks or animal near track indicator. Nothing happens for me until I get less than 200m from the animal and then the icon fades out and no fine.

Holding horn down works just fine. Just tried it. (pressed the Honk about 1000 meters away and hold it until passed)
The other times i started honking at the Yellow warning sign. (think they are a couple of hundred meters from the animals)
