Tribute to eastern fallen flags! Show your favorite screens

[jamiethomas81]

Hey there, new to Trainz, new to the forums, not new to trains, or even train sims. Seems as if there are lots of great screens out there and I really enjoy seeing other people's shots (especially when my favorite railroads are the focus. Just thought I would make my first post one showing off your favorite fallen flags from the east coast...Here are some of mine I have taken so far. Hope you all enjoy!

Wow, very sharp pic Rich ! May I ask you which kuid is used in the last pic of #4 for the fence/barrier below the bridge ?
Thanks !

Hey there Pete, sore for the late reply. Not sure what the exact kuid for the fencing is, I can tell you though that this pic was taken on Jointedrail's gorgeous Coal Country route. I haven't made any changes to the route at all. Glad you enjoyed the pics and I hope that helps! ;-)

It's made by gfisher and is named 'Erie Railing', <kuid:106916:10423>. It's included in TANE and is also available from uslw.net.

Well, I thought this thread would draw more attention. Oh well, as long as you guys are enjoying the pics, I'll keep posting them . Here is some classic NW action in Coal Country...

Southern High Hoods in Action

A Southern coal train has reached the top of the grade at Peabody and has begun its downhill decent. On front is three SD45's and two remote-controlled SD45's on the rear in front of the caboose. It's now all downhill to Richmond.

 

[jamiethomas81]

Love those high hood Southern locos! Keep the pics coming!

Gotta say that I love this thread! The C&O employed my grandfather throughout his life. Both are fallen flags now, but not forgotten.

I'm sure that Pap-pa is running the tracks in Coal Country somewhere around there, making sure that the tracks remain well maintained and open for traffic!

 

[jordon412]

Here we see a C&O coal train about to tackle the grade up to Peabody. Up front is a K3 class 2-8-2 with a K3A class 2-8-2 pushing the train on the rear.

Do Heritage Units Count?

Here we see Norfolk Southern's SD70ACe #1069, the Virginian heritage unit, leading a coal train. Following it is SD70ACe #1066, the New York Central heritage unit, with ES44AC #8102, the Pennsylvania heritage unit, on the rear acting as DPU (Distributed Power Unit). Coupled onto the end are two helpers, SD45-2 #1700, the Erie-Lackawanna heritage unit and 'normal' SD45-2 #1702.

 

[jamiethomas81]

Those heritage units are pretty awesome! I've seen a few of the UP ones but none of the NS ones...Yet. That's a great pic btw!

Finished my first reskins tonight and wanted to show them off...

WM F7's with some extra power provided by NW GP9's runs some empties down the one of the many hills on Coal Country in the late 70's

Enjoy!
