Hey NormHart Whats the name of that route in the Lionel Lines shot? Ive been looking for that route on the DLS everywhere.

That is Lionel Lines-Model Railroader III,<kuid:72938:100863> by mcguirel

I've gotten it into TS12 49922 and TS12SP1HF4 but I'm having issues with TANE. She also did Lionel Lines - Winter Wonderland,<kuid:72938:101289> which also features her Gargraves 3 Rail O-guage Track,<kuid2:72938:38000:1>

<memories>

Edit: It turns out that this route does not use mcguirel's 3 rail track it uses O Gauge Track,<kuid2:46819:38196:1> by jjslll54.

Matt there is seriously no need to quote images when the post is literally right above yours...
in the spirit of keeping the thread on track.

BNSF: It's time for heritage locomotives
Since Norfolk Southern made a big splash with the announcement of heritage paint schemes, I thought it might be time for BNSF to do the same. Norfolk Southern joined the ranks of railroads like Union Pacific, Amtrak, Iowa Interstate, and others who are honoring their past by painting locomotives in either accurate representations, or splashy renditions of predecessor paint schemes. Does a locomotive with a fancy paint scheme move freight more efficiently? The answer is no, but what a wonderful way for the railroads to give a great big nod to their rich history.


Waiting for the morning dispatch orders.

Trying to decide which shot to submit to this week's screenshot contest. Suggestions welcome. A few don't quite adhere to this week's theme (speed) but I will post them here anyway to complete the collection.
 
Fresh out of the Silver Lines Shops, a newly refurbished set of Boxcabs takes on its first load in years throughout the majority of the electrified division on the Silver Lines, carrying a large autorack consist.

Just to show that I'm still around, here's a CSX grain train at a diamond on the Anywhere Ohio route, circa 1992.

While I'm doing passenger car collections...



The trainz Daylight collection. Most of these are available on the DLS except the cab forward at the end of the locomotive string and the first two strings of passenger cars which are some of the PaulzTrainz collection. (Paul has some nice Daylight Locomotives too)

(TS12 49922)

The iron piers and girders for the old Schafter Avenue viaduct are slowly being taken down on a dim August morning in 1949. As a NYC passenger train and a freight pass over the River Terminal viaduct, an Erie switcher works the Erie freight houses below. To the left is the new Schafter Ave viaduct completed in 1932, which made the old viaduct and road over the tracks to the right obsolete.

M&NEs morning transfer from Highside Yard is inbound to Arcardias Yard, got a lot of reefers for the fish canneries pierside and for the Groeblis Noodles plant in the background in the consist.
The oncoming transfer to Highside is sitting on A/D track #2, waiting for the highball, once the mainline is clear again.
