The rainbow era is ending on MSVR. The entire Bombardier Bilevel fleet has gone through repainting into WESX livery, and now it's the Rotems' turn. The F59PHIs have also started to emerge in the...

What's amusing is that Amtrak kept the 666 number for the Keystone train but skipped 666 in the numbering of their ACS-64 fleet. The lineup is 600-665 and 667-670. The HHP-8s fell short of having...

Lily's crew were already venturing back to check the air hose connections on whatever cars they could. It was tough to leap from her rear door to the first RoadRailer, but they managed. After finding...

Yep, I'm doing some more fan fiction because I'm too lazy to create a series of my own. This time, I'm doing it for Rails of the Highland Valley by CottonBeltSD40T.

As with the The Full...

"Did you see any of that?"

"All I see is somebody that's not moving for a green signal," the engineer snapped.

Geez man, calm...

I know, it's a nearly year-old necro, but I think the thread's purpose is far from fulfilled.

Heavily-fictionalized account of today's (2/28/2017) Amtrak 354, which I'm riding....

Well this is a way to make a return here, calling back to days when I was a neophyte at literally everything.

Having gotten TSRE5 to do what I want it to do most of time, I decided to give...

Little tribute shot to The Full Bucketniers that I made a bit before starting on route edits for the FBL.

Been a very long time since I've last posted here.

Rollout of the first Rotem coach and cabcar to match the livery of MSVR's WESX subsidiary. The rainbow era is ending....

One of my sharpest memories of this community is how willing everyone was to help each other. Otto was no exception: his was always one of those names I remember popping up in help threads, and his...

Back with a video.

The southbound Palmetto hit construction equipment on the tracks just outside of Philly earlier today. Some debris went into the first two coaches and injured some passengers, but the fatalities in...

There's a general disinclination towards them here that extends beyond the fact that we don't have any at the moment. Since the Turboliner, nobody save maybe Colorado Railcar has tried to pitch DMUs...

The Elena helper district is unique in that it exists solely to boost traffic velocity rather than out of the necessity of added horsepower to even move tonnage. With the entirety of the climb being...

Someone say Rattlesnake Desert? I'll throw my lot in too then.

Cabcar #638 was badly damaged in a grade crossing accident a few weeks ago. As a result, MSVR has turned her into the first prototype for a safety improvement to the model, under development with...

Another MSVR video.

Another modern-day short story, much more modern than the last.

Didn't happen in real life, but whatever.

Should've, could've, and would've happened, but it never did: Amtrak #3 pulls into San Bernadino behind P40DC #819 and P32-8BWH 511 in the late 90s. ...

Bringing this thread back with something very different.

May not be suitable for work.

Finally figured out how to adjust FoV in OR. Only took me 5 years: leave it to me to find a way to be bad at a simulator:rolleyes:

You'd need a camera to operate long-hood forward, because you're not seeing past those flared radiators, ever :P

I may only be lurking here, but I'm not dead.

I've thoroughly ignored the Acela in most of my videos so far so I think it's time to give it some attention.

For some reason, my new version of...
