Loading up in the valley.

Takes a while to get a full string of cars loaded up with coal, but eventually it's time to pull hard out of Clear Creek's mine.

Six-axles were given priority to the heavier coal traffic, while GP-classes were put hard to work on the manifest traffic until new power could offset the needs of the mines.

Somewhere in western Indiana, a southbound NS manifest claws at the grade with 15,000 tons of train, but only 13,200 horsepower across their 2x1x0 setup...

hiawathamr, is it normal to have every passenger car be a cab car in METRO's consists? Just wondering, I don't delve into anything beyond Western Pacific, Southern Pacific, Caltrain and associated rail lines.

I think its just a case of Ryanstrains never made a coach version.
 
Awesome screenshots, everyone!

Here are some more screenshots of my fictional Maryland Grafton and Appalachia Railroad. I spent some time revamping the fictional town of Pleasant Valley Ferry, West Virginia, which was originally an area on the route that I built a long time ago when I had less skills at route-building.

Here is what one spot used to look like before I revamped it:

Here is what that same spot looks like after revamping it:

I'm also curious to see if anyone can guess the location this is based off of and inspired by, :D.

Thanks for viewing!
