Useful Controls

• CTRL + T (on map): Teleport to location on map.
• Shift + ? (on tracks): See grade and curvature of tracks.
• CTRL + F (on tracks): Place a fusee on tracks. (AI engineers will stop approx. 1 car length in front on a fusee).
• CTRL + Click (on coupler): Disconnect coupler and close anglecocks.
• Shift + Left-Click (on gladhands): Connect gladhands and open anglecocks.

When in camera 2 (flying around) if you zoom in really close to anything you can interact with in first person, you can interact with it in the flying camera if you are close enough.
