Following orders to clear every railcar out of B.O.O.M., a three mile long military train with two NS GEVOs on point and two more near the end climbs a 2% grade out of the river valley.

Two SD9043MACs wearing Union Pacific's 'We Will Deliver' slogan bracket the class unit of the AC6000CWs, as they lead the CWTNO9 (West Thunder Mine, WY to Dunphy, NV) out of Cheyenne; two more AC6000CWs shove on the rear, out of sight.

Shortline shenanigans: Alder Canal Terminal Railway GP40-2 number 1369 (ex-UP, nee-DRGW) works the docks in (fictional) Alder, MN.

First light on a summer day in 2005 finds a trio of snoot-nosed SD40-2s leading a northbound ballast train on UP's Spine Line somewhere in northern Iowa.

The same oil train we've been following through multiple screenshots descends Colorado's Front Range, seen here on approach to the well-known Blue Mountain Drive grade crossing.

UP's hot ZBRLA climbs the 2.1% grade between Cliff and Rowen with an NS interloper third out.

Dang, you got me wishing I'd bought the other SP GP35s off JR while they were still available.

Two Class 37s haul a loaded coal train down a branch line towards a nearby powerstation, while a third one rolls by with 9 container flats. (Route is "Midshire and Rosworth Valley Lines" on the DLS)

BCSJ-some string of numbers I don't remember. Should be on the DLS.

UP's QRVWC (Priority Manifest, Roseville, CA to West Colton, CA) climbs the grade out of Caliente with six SD40M-2s on the point. Not seen are two more and a tunnel motor acting as a rear helper, as the train semi-readily makes track speed in notch 6, circa June 2003.

Doing a short run on the Icarus Shinkansen 2.0 when I realize Trainz... decided to put a crew model outside the cab :LOL:

Somewhere in central Oregon, circa 1974...

A pair of Westwind Logging SD7s (ex-BN) lead 20 loaded log cars down the start of their descent from Westwind Pass, on the former standard gauge mainline connecting Planeptune with Lastation. (This is a spiritual successor to my moribund WPSR project from a few years ago, using the Standard12...

September 2012, and NS 2318 is pulling a cut of stored centerbeam flatcars off an about-to-be-abandoned track in downtown Headenburg. This is the last movement on the spur, which hasn't seen a revenue train since 1994.

Eastbound oil cans from Wildcat, UT to St. James, LA traverse Lump Gulch just east of Rollinsville, CO. The train is fresh off a meet in the aforementioned town with BNSF's H-DENPVO.
