It helps if you mention the route and gear. This is the DGRW Green River with the SD40T-2's and SD45's that I have added extensive freight animations to. Testing continues and they will be available soon. I believe the additions to the engines make them go much better with recent SLI releases.

Modified Con Indy, and semi-fictional Illinois Railway:

[demando]

Sonoma, Napa & Clear Lake Railroad is a tourist subsidiary of CRCP based out of Sacramento, with runs from Sonoma to Kenwood, Winters to Caymus (outskirts of Rutherford, now part of the 25.6 mile long Caymus branch; once part of the original Palm Bay Railway mainline 1915-2014), and Winters to Lakeport. Three separate trains called for some specialized equipment for the three dinner trains.

CRCP had pledged when they bought Western American Railway, that the company would rid itself of all power purchased after 2005. Well, with the uptick in traffic and potential new lines to be added into the system (with a RFP and EIR for the proposed Carson-Mojave Extension over the old Carson & Colorado and Tonopah Lines, as well as proposed San Francisco Bay Area Extensions in the works), the new Board of Directors for CRCP purchased 45 new SD70ACe's, and they were delivered this week with 4501-4544. 4500 is still being kept under wraps until early next month (hint, hint, nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more, say no more...)
Anyway, here's them departing Chicago yesterday.

MSVR 8057 was added onto a Z train last week, and floated around Chicago for a few days.


MMP 104 on her return journey via California. She'll be taken off in Sacramento, then sent north to Seattle on a trackage rights train via the FRC.


Central Pacific Leasing 40 is one of the ex-WARY SD70ACe's that CRCP sold to a group shortly after the merger.
