That nerail site looks good, thanks, I will pass it on to the rest of the train nuts around work.

I work in the 20th floor of a building in downtown Pittsburgh with a good view of the old Pennsy shelf line on the south side, now NS with lots of stacks on it, and the old P&LE line, now CSX main through Pittsburgh. Probably about 30 trains per day during work hours.

We get a chuckle out of CSX's allocation of locomotives on some of their trains. You will see a 75 car mixed freight with 10 units in the lead, everything from old beat to hell geeps to Dash 9's (on the same train), then 20 minutes later you will get a line of loaded auto racks with 2 tired looking SD-40's pulling for all they are worth. Kinda makes you scratch your head.

Want to see some screwed operation look at Guilford,I have seen up to 10 tierd EMD's with blown turbo's looking like Alco's struggling with 30 cars.:rolleyes:


What do you think of CSX's "Dark Future"?

[PATF1engineer]

The new paint scheme? I like it, reminds me a little of old B&O scheme which is what I think they were trying to do.

But then, I grew up on old, nasty, Penn Central crap and liked that too.

Do any of you have any of the Train Simulator games, such as Trainmaster, MS Train Simulator, or Auran Trainz?

[stm4710]

I got MS Train-Sim and I love it,doing the real thing though is still more fun.;)

Oooh! Railroad stuff :cool:

I live in Central Vermont, and have rode Vermont Railway's GP9 Locomotive 803 to Bombardiers facility. Alot of fun when you get to move the Acela down the rails to the junction of NECR.

Sad thing about my addiction to Fire/EMS is that on my layout I have a scale MVA mockup :o
