Because I had difficulty finding a list of keyboard shortcuts for TSW3 to keep on my second monitor as a reference, I produced this listing by hand. Here are the Train Sim World 3 Locomotives PC Keyboard Shortcuts. I hope you find them helpful.
I also provided downloadable copies of the Train Sim World 3 PC Keyboard Shortcuts in RTF, and CSV format, + a listing and the screenshots below.
Tip: You can search the list below for a Keyboard Shortcut by doing a Ctrl F and entering a word such as Ditch.
Also, If you do not have Thrustmaster Compatible Controllers, you may want to try Joy to Key to map Joystick inputs to keyboard inputs - link below.
