Your 8th pic...That yard looks amazing......Almost had to take another look to see if it was a railpictures.net pic.....Im sure if they had something like that for this sim, you would be getting the "People's Choice Awards" non stop with the pix your producing out here :Y:
Keep up the good work

I've been following this series for some time. Your pictures are awesome, dude.
Keep up the great work. I look forward to downloading the route(s) when they are completed.
Your northwestern PA screen shots make me feel like I'm actually there. I can feel the heat from the sun and hear the cicadas buzzing in the tall grass!

Thanks guys, heres a tour of the Cornell locomotive shops and the Allegheny yard
here is an NS coal drag headed to ashtabula passing the dead line "scrap track"
the newly restored and added to NS's steam program PRR k4 1361 goes for a spin on the Allegheny river division.

Amazing shots, and is the Cornell locomotive named after a certain guy who tends to blow are minds with engine renders? also sad that the 1361 shot will probably never become true. What is one of the Amtrak heritage units doing in the dead line?

thanks lol yeah it is named after justin cornell, mike (jointedrail) made the shops, and yeah its sad, they are in the dead line because I hate amtrash.
I literlily just noticed the SD60E cabs siting there. Ya, maybe they can find all the parts and have someone like Strasburg fix her to running condition. Cause if it has any chance of being brought back to service it will go to either go to Strasburg or TVRM. But look at the upside there is still a chance 611 will get restored for the NS steam program.

Forgive me Pennsy fans, but I believe the Reading T-1 4-8-4 stored at the Reading, Blue Mountain & Northern's shops will be a better canidate for a new addition of Norfolk Southern's steam program. She's got the extra power needed to haul long passenger trains over the mountainous terrain of the region the pictures are taken.

If you'll ever notice that a steam consist on a Class 1 RR has a diesel helper, which picks up the slack in the consist ... and just in case of the steam locomotives breakdown, it can be used to deadhead the steamer, so as to not tie up the mainline, like the #1361 breakdown, when she broke a connecting rod around the Horseshoe decades ago.

thanks for the info cascade....but a bearing seized on a main drive axle near York PA
1361 never touched HSC after it was restored, if it did there would be pictures of it.
Were not talking about any old 4-6-2 here, the K4s's were more than capable of handling the Alleghenies. Besides it looks like the N&W 611 will be heading future excursions.

You certainly don't mean to say a T1 is more powerful than a J, do you?
Nope. I thought that the diesel was just to help it travel at the speed limit of the route is on (Southern 2-8-0 #630 needed help from a diesel to keep her 6-train excursion from Chattanooga (TN) to Attala (AL) to keep the train at the 40MPH speed limit), or to provide assistance for climbing over hills (i.e. Norfolk Southern's ES44AC Nickel Plate Heritage unit was put in 'notch 0' to have Nickel Plate 2-8-4 #765 haul her train and the ES44AC around Horseshoe Curve on her own, and provide railfans an experiance that was both seen and heard).
@simulatortrain: According to steamlocomotive.com, the Reading T1's have a tractive effort of 67,984lbs and a top speed of 80MPH, while the [Norfolk and Western] J's have a tractive effort of 77,899lbs and also a top speed of 80MPH. Also, the same website shows that the K4s' tractive effort is 44,460lbs, with a top speed at 90MPH. (the class designation shown on the website is 'K4s') Giving these facts I am not saying the T1's are more powerful the the J's, but they're more powerful, though not as fast, as the K4s. However, I must admit that there should be a locomotive that represent the Conrail side of the family.

Amazing routes Deadpool. I take it that those CRQ locomotives (SD70ACes, ES44s, etc,) are among projects that will be eventually released by simulatortrain, or are they personal reskins? Not to be a gimme pig, but I was curious b/c I was in the process of making a modern CR route (post '99)
