Some Louisiana logging action on the Espee. Featuring Texas and New Orleans E-60 4-4-0 #220.
It's not Louisiana mind ya, it's rather flat somewhere a bit Southward in America.
It's called; Huddleston Branch.

I see, yeah. The Huddleston branch is standing in for Louisiana.

It sure is. It is a logging route, but passes through open farmlands.
:hehe: I'd completely forgotten those. I had to look them up on the DLS to see if I'd really done them. The best thing about old age is I can read my favorite books for the first time over and over again.
I apologize for quoting pictures, but I'm curious about this spectacular route. I love the setting. Is it available to the public?
I find that hard to believe: I looked up Huddleston but got no results. Am I missing something?
<kuid2:559787:100108:1> Huddleston Branch on the DLS
I typed that KUID in but for some reason I’m still not getting results. I can’t understand why: the KUID Index confirms its on the DLS so why won’t it show up for me?!
I know this is a long shot but do you already have it installed?
And screenies of a totally different route.

4-4-0's in Trainz have come a long way since 2002!

I can't put my finger on it … But when viewing these great screenshots, and utterly fantastic locomotives … Something overall looks overwhelmingly toy like, and fake looking … Perhaps it's the lack of weathering, the brand new paint jobs on the loco's and consists, the all too perfect track, the lack of vegetation … IDK what makes it look like toys ?

That is the way locomotives looked during that period.I can't put my finger on it … But when viewing these great screenshots, and utterly fantastic locomotives … Something overall looks overwhelmingly toy like, and fake looking … Perhaps it's the lack of weathering, the brand new paint jobs on the loco's and consists, the all too perfect track, the lack of vegetation … IDK what makes it look like toys ?
Locomotives and passenger equipment were points of pride and the cars didn't weather that much because the rain had less acid content.
Vegetation, my pictures are Nevada. Can't speak for the others.
Track was perfect, track gangs had pride in their work. Wasn't Conrail in the 1970"s.
And being in color makes the pictures look colorized. Does this look better.

Agreed.
@Cascade: While you're an old Geezer like davesnow, that doesn't entitle you to complain and gripe about every little thing on the Forums that you don't like. I'm not happy about JR removing their F units also, but I'm keeping my mouth shut to keep from causing more problems, as that's a bit of a 'touchy' topic right now. I can say for most, if not everyone on here, that we're tired of your constant complaining you've been doing recently. In the wise words of my Mom: Life's tough, get over it.
