Thanks Dermmy for this beautiful route!
A trio of SD70MACs move this loaded coal train for the AB Brown Generator Station:

Ruskin of my Hometown P&L SD70MAC's I assume, Nice to see the Paducah and Louisville system thriving alongside their sister company EVWR.

Great Shots Enzo!


NKP 765 struggles to get a long fright started after waiting for the clear signal.

T02 clicks off the last mile into Bangor where it will shove its train up the east pass and tie up for the day. 499 had loading issues for a majority of the 32 mile trip today making for a long shift.

There's only one train covering the line with that many colors.... It's the daily Q again!

With the Back Track (the LE&E's main east-west low grade ore line) abandoned in late 1972 due to damage from Hurricane Agnes, all ore and coal traffic was transferred to the mainline starting earlier that year. Here in late 1972 we see a LE&E C630 leading a N&W SD9 and a N&W SD45 (both leased from the N&W due to a motive power shortage) as they handle an ore train downgrade.

Well, I decided to take the long way back home to West Front and stop by Vaughn, NM to spend some time on the BNSF Transcon... Should've known it was going to yield high in two things... Containers and GE's....

I like 1970's consists. Well this would look even better if you also used 1970's era rolling stock from the dls. I hate how there are good 1970s consist pictures and videos and there are not enough good shots of the potentially colorful freight cars in the consist.

Cough Cough.
I am being more subtle than you.

While a lot of freight cars were colorful, a lot of people forget that railroads didn't have the cash to keep equipment pristine, and because of this, a lot of the bright colors became weathered and dull. Besides, TOFC really picked up in the 70's, especially for the pictured railroad, the Reading. Most of the head end of the consist is TOFC and autos, which leaves little leeway in terms of colorful stock. In a few of the shots, you can see more colorful boxcars and hoppers farther back in the consist though.

A load of coal out of Bailey Mine waits for a trio of light SD40s at the north end of West Brownsville at dusk on the Mon Line:

No, that is just some posing on Clovis 2.5 for a screenshot session. Just personal edits I like to do so that I can add some touch to my screenies.

 

[Dermmy]

Not even close to dreaming about a release date! Not least because it's not quite as lo-poly as previous versions, which looks better but leaves just on 175 miles of trackside grass to retro-fit......

You could try the replace tool. You might have centering issues though, if the splines are different widths.
