A BNSF coal train has just pulled up to the plant...Where it cut away from its cars and now sitting in the fuel track taking on some diesel before heading back out west....You can see the yellow switcher already hard at work emptying his coal cars :wave:

Thanks Phil. Although 98% of my screenies are taken "on the fly", I do set them up sometimes. ;) I used the free camera mode in driver and placed the camera at the angle and altitude that I wanted to get this side angle shot of the causeway near Peekskill, NY. Then I just waited for the trains to show up. I, also, had to adjust the AI engineer's start times so they would both meet on the causeway. I have a widescreen monitor with 1680 x 1050 native resolution. After reducing the size of the screenshot, I cropped a little (not much) off the bottom and...voila!...SuperPanavision. I know...a cheap trick...:D

George...great looking route and great screenshot...but I've already told you that. :)

Cheers,
Fred
 
Well, I decided to take a break from route building, and reskinning, to do some railfanning on the Reading's line between Hamburg, and Tamaqua. I managed to get some great pics of a pair of Reading F7As pulling a coal train. This was when they were thinking about changing their classification numbers to four digits, though thankfully this experiment was later dropped, and they went back to three numbers.

I got some great pics in Port Clinton today.

The F7 comes into the Port Clinton maintianance yard, and station. A Trainmaster sits next to a repair shed, while a pair of Geeps replenish their sand.

The coal train rumbles past a pair of parked Reading RDCs.

I got this pic from the front deck of a GP7 parked at the roundhouse. A Camelback sits steaming on one of the garden tracks, while a RS3 sits in the small roundhouse.

Taken from the Blue Mountain, outside of Port Clinton.

By the way, I love this route because this is my home area. I have actually been up on this mountain, the view is beautiful.

Also, don't ask me why the tracks are TRS09 track. I downloaded the track that I needed in the depenancies. Oh well, what can you do, at least it isn't default 06 track.

Is that one of the SW7s from my site? It looks just like mine because I splashed it in yellow.

i usually hate it when people quote images, but i just had to. just to say i love it because i have actually been there. and stood at that location under the truss bridge, and fished from the pier leading to the spill dam to the left side of this image. this is almost real.
