    Footage from the CN 8910 West run on Seligman, from Seligman to Needles. Got into Needles about 7 hours and 15 minutes after departure from Winslow. A good run on the Seligman Subdivision!

    Q-CXOLAC1A (based on a real consist which ran last summer) crossing the Seligman Subdivision on a hot May morning. So far, between Winslow and Seligman, it has been a clean run. We shall see what the west side of the subdivision has to offer after passing Seligman.

    Thanks tie and qballbandit. It is my humble way of thanking the content creators.

    While I'm on an Anglo roll, here is a bit of end-of-steam-era branch line activity.

    I've been enjoying the Bedford-Hitchin Branch V1, a route by Charles Malcolm, which is a sixteen mile ex Midland Railway branch set in the 1950's linking the East Coast Main Line at Hitchin with the Midland Main Line at Bedford.
    Sometimes I don't want to drive a multi-hundred mile, multi-hour route. Just a pleasant jaunt in the country is enjoyable too.

    Loco is an Ivatt 2MT 2-6-2 tank, British Railways number 41291, preparing to leave Bedford with a just a pair of carriages on a local run:


    The MML is in the background:



    Leaving the outskirts of Bedford:



    At Cardington, the overgrown, disused platform on the right hints at this station's former importance:



    Entering Southill station:



    RAF Henlow is not far away. A pilot surveys the green patchwork tablecloth of England, visual navigation aided by the iron compass on the ground:



    Passing RAF Henlow. Another pilot takes advantage of the favorable weather:



    Henlow Camp station, a link to home and recreation for service personnel:



    Approaching Hitchin. The gasworks in the background hints at future urban sprawl. The extra lines of the ECML beckon the passengers to the larger towns and cities, or perchance to coastal holidays:



    At Hitchin station, the passengers will wait for a faster train to take them to a faster pace of life:

    Might I suggest swapping out those hideous default track textures with those from another route you may have? It's a fairly simple process that would really enhance your shots on that route . . . Raton Pass, if I'm not mistaken?

    West of Kitscoty, towards Islay, AB


    This area does not work in OR, it is covered by a mound of terrain that doesn't show up in RE or MSTS. I assume it's too close to the blue lines, dang it. Otherwise, no problems in MSTS. BTW Engo, those shots are awesome. Love it

    St Pancras station

    A rare quiet moment at St Pancras station in Clive Heard's Thames-Trent V2 route, available at UKTS.
    At the time of the real station's opening in 1868, the train shed roof was the largest single-span roof in the world.
