JointedRail stuff [screenshots/renders]

[judahGrice]

Guess what railway this belongs to.

<snip>

I basically butchered ryan's CP SD40-2.

CN or BCRail?

 

[haddock57]

I think that's likely BC Rail. If it is, its good to see some more Canadian stuff getting into Trainz.

If this could be reskinned in Pan Am Railways, it would be very appropriate. They purchased a few from CN and are now using them on their own lines today.

Sort of reminds me of MoPac, in a small way...

"Pan Am" That would be a good name for a passenger airline company. Oh, wait, I seem to remember.....

Hey, JR, will there ever be an update to TS12's ATSF GP60M's? Just curious.

 

[norfolksouthern37]

[chris2001trainz2010]

Very much so. I wish it was MoPac instead of a repainted Guilford Transportation Industries!

Don't really care that they're not 100% proto, they do that job for me. Will mean the rest of you will never see these thou

The Pan American was an express that the L&N ran from 1921-1971. "From Cincinnati to New Orleans in 24 hours, via the L&N".

Awesome! I didn't even know that existed! (though I did see it on IG earlier...)

John was actually referring to PAR, or Pan Am Railways, which is a rename of Guilford Transportation Industries. GTI was formed in 1982 when management, with support of Timothy Mellon, from American Filter Corp. This company also the owner of the MEC and a tie plant, purchased the Boston and Maine. Shortly after this merger, they purchased the Delaware and Hudson, busted unions, and reorganized as Springfield Terminal a non-union tiny subsidiary of the old B&M. There was then a strike as the company cut crews and deferred maintenance on their lines. As a part of their plan, they lopped off many side branches and mainlines as they focused east-west traffic. Loss in the cuts and abandonments is the old D&H line to Carbondale, the famous MEC Mountain Division, rails to Berlin, NH, and the Lower Road to Augusta, ME.

In their process of cutting, many smaller companies still wanted service, however, the company discouraged business by letting the lines rot anyway, and ignored court orders. On some of the lines, which are intact but embargoed, they sold off large sections, but maintain ownership in the middle to prevent service from being restored.

Being the modern company running the rails in our area, however, it would still be nice to see their engines modeled even though they are not well liked.

I was aware, John, I was just sharing a little info that popped into my head that sounded familiar to the statement.
