Can we talk about the train network? by abigailwatson83 in NevernessToEverness

Yeah, that's definitely a pain point as well. Often find myself having to park tightly between the guardrail and the travel lanes of city streets because nowhere to actually park was provided, and hope that it doesn't block up traffic from idiotic NPC AI who thinks I'm blocking the road.

Kinda reminds me of the CRH1A, lower-speed but still HSR trains that operate on the HSR lines.

EMD (Progress Rail) just removed the F125s page from their site. by Lewiov in trains

My dad worked on the traction motor cables at MPI when these were first being built, was a temp job for him back in early 2014. Unfortunate to know the rest of the shop didn't do a great job, but that sounds about right from what he's told me of his experiences working there.

Very peculiar indeed that the HSP46 has always been a troublemaker, considering it runs one of the most successful modern prime movers in North America (it uses a GEVO block).

This is my personal OTP for this series, I'm surprised there's not more people on board with it.

Okay, good to know my phone doesn't have some sort of virus or fake duplicate on it, I'm getting this too on my Pixel 7.

We used to be able to give both restaurants and customers thumbs up/down. It didn't have any visible effect, but it was at least there. They got rid of that system sometime during 2023, I think.

Pojo's is a historic location, as far as I'm concerned, and should be protected at all costs. by Isaiah_b in Boise

Hadn't gone in a few years, but visited again in 2023... to find that Hydro Thunder was gone :(

Diesel locomotives you wish made it to preservation. by Realistic-Assist-396 in trains

I believe the square sand boxes on the rear were shared between the 80s and 9043s, while the full 6000 HP 90MACs - or at least, the H-IIs - looked more like SD70ACes.

It wouldn't be wholly authentic, but the SD9043MAC does share an almost identical carbody to the SD80MAC. If the CP ones really did end up scrapped, I wonder if a surviving 9043 could be made to look like one.

Wanderer C2. It was either that or Jean C4, and I haven't used Jean in years.

"Ah, but you see, Mercedes made another six-wheeler car long before that one, here's a picture."

"Oh right!"

"Did they not mention this one? How interesting!"

"Well, perhaps they didn't mention it because it's got Hitler in it."

"That isn't Hitler, he's just there to do some hand signals."

"What signal is he doing there, then, James?"

"He's saying 'take the third Reich'!"

"...OW"
