Traction action!

Out in the Fields

It's still possible to have fun in TS2009...

and even do some work (wheat to market, in this case).

(Those boxcars are on the way to the interchange track with a Class 1.)

(Could also be Urban)

Greatly admiring @normhart's Chicago scenes, tried a few on my work-in-progress ITSy interurban line - night and rain (TS2009, use your imagination):

It's good to see your rolling stock in their natural environment.

Natural?

It's good to see your rolling stock in their natural environment.

Heh. Not particularly natural, or prototypical. The ITSy is sort of slapped together for enjoyable operation and photo ops, basically three modules (small town, big town, small city = dogbone, loop, return loop) connected by an improbably two-track mainline with a wildly unlikely three-way distributer in the middle based on the NYW&B's prototype four-track distributer. In fact, a lot of the signal architecture is New Haven... I figure since most of these people never get east of Cincinnati they probably think semaphore signals are all *naturally* left-handed.

Have to write it up for "design your own railroad" sometime.

What I meant was TS2009

My lord have the Interurban floodgates have opened. All I have to say is finally! Not going to lie though, I'm more partial to the Philadelphia & Western Brill Bullets and the SEPTA ABB N5 cars who replaced them. I live near it and boy do I love it.

an early morning in 2002 an acela regional shoots across the bridge at 120 MPH with an HHP-8 for power

@railwoodman and @slenderman8888 - great shots with fine atmospherics: shows how the Corridor/PRR electrification traffic has changed over the years.

 

[slenderman8888]

Thank you PWeiser

Summer Folk: Excursions

A well-known Dr enjoys his ride to the Nantasket Beach Resort, somewhat previous to the present...

Other "summer folk" ride in the trailer.

(Hoping to make these available soon. An old challenge with some perplexing details.)

@normhart - Goodness, those look better in more recent Trainz versions! :udrool:

Thanks for testing. IRL one motor could pull up to three trailers, hadn't tried multiple trailers but glad it works. Some of your shots also look more like "beach" environment than anything I've got ready to hand.

Side curtains down due to the rain.

Take a ride on the Reading!
