Nice shot, WCL! A bit anachronistic...but what the hey!

Don't forget that a diesel's maintenance cost was almost 0 when it was not in use, unlike a steamers.

Of course, Jade...that's true...as well as a number of other things. I was just pointing out that the speed factor had nothing to do with the ascension of diesel technology over steam.

Cheers,

HA HA HA...Yeah...I know....Just wanted to see what it would look like to have the Amtrak and that Clinch loco on there with that kind of sky on that kind of a layout....I purdy much was not going by what RR ran on it this time around :hehe:

Thanx for the comment :Y:


ps....I just downloaded some NH stuff so now I will be all set to run on it....he he he :hehe:

To some degree SPNG is right. While the streamliner is sitting at the station it will not be for much longer - therefore the dispatcher would hold the freight untill after the streamliner has departed so it can have more time to climb the grade ahead.

Then again - its a game

Besides the pasenger train was changing crews and would be there at least 20 minutes.

The excursion train approaches its destination at Adams Pines on the fictional Dresden Creek Scenic Railroad.

I hate to ask but where did you get those sweet looking passenger cars from?

They're on the DLS, I think called 1880s PRR Combine or something similar. The colors are a little too vibrant in my opinion, I desaturated them a bit, so the ones on the DLS are a little "redder" than pictured.
