The engineer on NS 23G has the 2X1 locomotive setup in full dynamics as he holds speed down "the hill" continuing the descent into Oakdale, TN passing through Camp Austin.

CSX Q186, a stacker from Central City 57th St. ramp to Montevideo Gulf Terminal, pauses for a crew change in the Chonteau neighbourhood of Lewiston.
It has just finished working the ramp at Florissant Park and once the relief crew shows, this 4500ft Q186 will be on it's way once again, headed for the Gulf.

realy nice shots
can i ask what type of plants and tress you used in such screenshots?

Hi.
Among other, I use a lot of stuff made by author "rmm", for example assets named "st_rmm_kust/gr_osoka/gr_kamish (available on DLS), and also much of JVC's stuff (too much to list), and even some TANE built-in Trees and Plants, and lots of other stuff.

Im Curious, where did you get the weathered Safetran Gate?

I have weathering some of (as H222 said) Ryanstrains stuff, this was one of them.

@Epoche3bis4 - Just magnificent! The building that makes you think its picture was taken with a fish-eye lens (g).

 

[norfolksouthern37]

There is a CNJ 1000 somewhere isn't there?

 

[nathanmallard]

Richp928- I have a feeling I've seen that route before, it has an oddly familiar feeling about it. Is it on the DLS?

Appears to be a rebuilt version of the Highland Valley route, might be on DLS, don't know.

Nice shots, folks!

I think that is scratchy's work. Search the forum under Highland Valley V 2.0 and you should find it.

While it's uncommon to see freight trains on Metro North, it is rare to them on the Harlem Line. A CSX train is spotted just north of Woodlawn Junction on its way to Mount Vernon to swap out refrigerator cars at the "potato factory." Right behind it is an express to Southeast with its next stop at White Plains.

Coming soon:

According to accounts from PRR and NYC engineers alike, the K4s were better at starting the Broadway than the J3s were at starting up the Century. The boosters on the Hudsons helped, but countering that advantage was the fact that the Century regularly sold out it's 15 car consist, and regularly ran in two sections. The Broadway regularly ran with ten or less cars, which were rarely full. During the war, two K4s could regularly be seen double heading a sold out 15 car Broadway. Eventually, the rivalry between the K4 Pacific and the J3a Hudson was eclipsed by the similar competition between the New York Central's 4-8-4 Niagaras and the Pennsy's 4-4-4-4 T-1 Duplexes. In only a few short years, the Century would be dieselized, followed shortly by the Broadway.

The race is now but a distant memory, and due to consolidation under Penn Central, and later Conrail, the redundancies have been addressed. Where there were once eight mainlines, now stand only two, and where the thunderous roar of these sleek iron horses roamed free, remains the memory of a bygone era.

SLRR & CN trains pass each other by.
