CSX in Canada - ok, it's a bit of a stretch for this thread, but I hope no-one minds too much! 
Heading West out of Halden at dawn with a string of miscellaneous empties.

Nice shots guys! Good to see you posting again Neil! ^^ I haven't worked on my route in a while, but there is a CSX connection to the CN line not far west from Montreal where it crosses over a narrower part of the St. Lawrence. I *think* I saw a CSX engine on the Canadian side when I was in a VIA train going by. It's definitely plausible either way!

Even though they're all empties, 85 cars still gives these little geeps a workout.
What?? No more from Rick?!?! Why? We love your stuff! You can't leave us now! I mean even if you don't post shots, stop by and say hello! Don't leave us! We beg you!

meh..
Darn, sad to see you go Rick. I always come in here to see what you have created, and I am always constantly impressed with what you do. You've given me a lot of inspiration on my own routes and it really is sad to see you leaving. I feel bad to be thanking you for all of your great work as you leave, but I hope that you can come back and show more shots as/if you can. Thanks for all the inspiration you've given me rick, even though I am thanking so late. :wave:
Dang man, leavin' just before I get in here... my impeccable timing. Always enjoyed browsing through this thread and seeing what's up here, and rick's shots were some of my favourites in here.
I'll drop a few of my own shots in here, I suppose. Hard to contend with a few great shots posted here lately.

Even if your route is bad I still want to have it. I was confused and didn't pick up that you were leaving. I will miss seeing your pictures.
Hah! I have a Lego SD40-2 on my desk, actually, and another 20,000 something bricks in my room alone... I don't want to know how many I have total...
Thanks for the compliment!

Is it custom built? You should post pics in the "Show your models" section.
Thank you! Yes, this is my route - the Silver Lines Electric Coal (working name). It's being built and sceeenshotted in TSMac 2, just the Mac clone of TS12SP1 (maybe it's just me, but I think Mac 2 has more shadows and little tidbits that TS12 doesn't..). If I tried to take any of the shots in that trainyard I've done in the past week in T:ANE, my computer would be completely wasted. So many trees and rollingstock..
It's the Maersk SD40-2 I'm modifying to become more prototypical, but I do have some custom stuff I'm working on.. maybe when it's done I'll throw it on that thread.
Cheers,
SM
