5 shots of an SP Black Widow GP9's journey to McCall intermodal:


First we see it hopping out of the yard:

We see it entering McCall intermodal:

Stopping...:

Departing from McCall intermodal:

Heading into the more industrial area:

The route is Dermmy's fantastic McCall Yard route.

I haven't seen many screenies from the new layout by Lars called Santa Maria Valley RR, set in California, so, I'll pop some up......

Cheerz. ex-railwayman. :wave:

Very nice Ex, I'm sure it's an excellent route...

 

[yoderscoot]

I agree. It is a great route. The only downside is that for all the scenery to show up, it takes over 10 minutes.

A unit train drifts eastbound downgrade from Sherman Summit on the 1953 cut-off line, ten miles longer than the main line but with only a 0.85 percent ruling grade.

Wow GFisher, Wow!
That is strikingly realistic.
Is that your own route or did you download it?
Very nice use of the SD60M's too.
Once again, Wow!

It is my own route under construction.

GFisher,
You should be very proud of that route, it is truly remarkable!
The texturing is very realistic, I find that rare and commendable trait.

All, again nice shots!

@GFisher: I agree IC on that. As I've stated before you've captured the rugged terrain of Wyoming quite well! Looking forward to that route amongst many others.



Keep up the great work all!

Hey Bryan,
Aren't you working on the Great Lakes Central Railroad?
You should start a thread like Jim did.

But thanks for the reminder post. I should have some new screenshots sometime coming down the pipe and I'll even post some here in USA pics. I've kind of re-worked some things and they're definitely WiP but coming along...that is when I get the time to work on it and not distracted by other things. lol

 

[illinoiscentral]

I tend to forget things...
I'll take a look, thanks for refreshing my memory!

Jerry and I were in Cut Bank when we got this excellent shot of BNSF & UP shaking hands to a new partnership after completing a new bridge.
Cut Bank City Park District bought the old bridge and made a pedestrian path out of it.

I converted the bridge using the old one.

 

[kingstonflyer]

A little bit of kodachorme to brighten your day.

Cheers Epo

 

[applegathc]

I converted the bridge using the old one.

How did you get rid of the track on that bridge exactly?

 

[illinoiscentral]

Applegathc,
I downloaded a certain platform and with the right spline inserts, was able to get the right height.
I'll PM you the details after I compile the KUID's and make some shots of the spline inserts.
Think of it as a "tutorial".

Pretty smart there IC. And here I was trying to figure out how to do the same thing lol. Thanks for the tip.
