I know fictionals offend some people in here. So take this shot for what's it worth. A helper set waiting for a train to shove over Pipestone Pass.

Neil, what route is that? It looks well done and interesting!

Warm spring days, finally.

[TrainSimJack]

Those trains look fantastic!

With a PH&D Boxcar included in the latest TrainSimulations pack and nice Procor LPG Tanks from the Ruel Sub, I couldn't help but put together a consist to simulate a short CASO Train sailing through Southern Ontario (using Bala 2.0 as a stand-in).

Dig the Orion V transit bus in the second shot - one of my favorite bus types to drive for my college job!

Thanks! Despite being in my route, I don't like them much. My first experience with the V's is when they retired the busses I grew up on, Flxible Metro D's!! Our V-CNG's are FINALLY being retired out but the quality of replacement is iffy!

TrainSimulations' new WP Pack is right at home on the Feather River Canyon Route

It's been a hot minute since I uploaded any images...Let's take a trek around a very not-so-shortline railroad...Some may recognize the 'area'.

FBL Beta-testing: Mt. Lena Mining to Yonder with a 50 car coal train.

Leaving Mt. Lena Mining.



Passing through St. Josef.



Arrived at Yonder, in the clear.

Eastbound CN 418 with a nice pair of leaders gets underway out of Foleyet, ON, CA after making a pickup.





Westbound CN 203 is seen holding the main at the east end of Kukatush. They'll be waiting awhile...



CN 203's eastbound counterpart CN 204 is also holding the siding at Kukatush...



Not sure if it was the dispatcher's first day or if they thought the siding at Kukatush could hold more capacity or what but needless to say, a four train meet at Kukatush doesn't work! Oh well!

BNSF ET44 will be nice.

Took a change of pace for a while, from my US routes.

Back to the Father Land, ProTrain Rheinstal:



Thought this Route was awesome when I got it, back in the day, now needs work.

Then to England, running the Pullman on the Chiltern:



Back home on Surfliner, running a Hart Commuter:



A couple of passenger views from the trailing crewcab:
