Bob Cass Memorial Train
After hearing the passing of our beloved member Bob Cass, I wanted to do something special in Trainz. So, here's the result.
Near Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania on Amtrak's Northeast Corridor, restored New York, Chicago and Saint Louis Railroad (Nickel Plate Road) 2-8-4 'Berkshire' #765 leads the Bob Cass Special along the former electrified main line of the Pennsylvania Railroad.

A Chesapeake & Ohio Railway class H6 2-6-6-2 Mallet picks up loads from the Macdonald mine, in the coalfields of southern West Virginia. When the mine first opening in the late 1890s, it was one of the big producers in the field. Now, in the post World War II era, the mine is nearly worked out and is only producing a few car loads per day.
The mine's company store, visible on the right side of the photo, is still open, but like the mine itself, it's seen better days.
In this shot, a section of the mine's "gob pile" can be seen, which has grown considerably in size since the 1920s, when the mine stopped using its "slack" coal to produce coke in its battery of beehive coke ovens. The gob pile has been burning for decades, producing tons of "red dog" in the process, that the local citizens and towns have put to good use, as a cheap paving material to cover roads, alleys, and drive-ways.

That would explain the ditchlights. :hehe:

The ditch lights were added in the mid to late 90s when the 614 was running Erie Limited trips from Hobokan to Port Jervis on NJT rails. A lot of those trips resulted in 70+ mph spirts so they were required by NJT to run on their rails.
That’s for you Bob Cass!
I am sorry that I could not get this loco finished early enough!

Yes, I eagerly anticipate the release of said 4-8-4 as much as you do, but that doesn't mean I will be ignoring something much MORE solemnly important as of is!So 261's done?
Yeah really I saw no harm in asking!
