HyRail Simulations and Run8Studios are out with a new route expansion to their Jacksonville Region -- the CSX Savannah Sub.
The new route starts about 50 miles north of Savannah, and continues south another 40 miles, where it joins with the CSX Waycross Sub and ultimately to the A-Line Sub.
There are two major yards in Savannah, two smaller yards, and some 20 industries along the way. CSX also hosts eight Amtrak movements a day across this line, including the AutoTrain,...
About three weeks ago, I bought a copy of Run 8, as I'd promised Brad (owner of 3DTrainStuff and Run8studios) many months ago that I'd give it a try. This was long overdue, as it's been out since 2012.
Now that I've used it a bit, what John Greenstone and the team have accomplished is nothing short of remarkable. They've made significant advances in train handling, physics and functionality, particularly multi-player, that set a new benchmark for what train simulation should be.

Last night on the way home from work, I passed a freight train with a hundred or so covered hoppers, coming from one of the many DeLong elevators located along the Harvard Sub.
It's not often that I can recreate what I saw 18 hours ago, but the guys at TrainSimulations just made that possible.
Two sets of ACF hoppers are out today -- one for CSX and one for UP.
Each set comes with 24 ready to run hoppers, suitable for a mostly modern setting with some CSXT...
Welcome to 2025!

The upgrade to vBulletin 6.0.8 was done Tuesday, January 7th, and after 18 hours, the only issues that haven't been addressed and need some help from the vendor are some missing icons and scaling issues for the few folks who don't have a square avatar.
Total downtime was..... 12 minutes.
With no data loss and a fully supported product under the hood, I'm very grat...
'Twas the Night before Christmas, and all through the yard,
Not a whistle was blowing, not a steam plume stirred.
The engines, all silent, in slumber did sleep,
While visions of passengers danced in their dreams.
The rails, silver gleamed in the pale moon's light,
As signals stood frozen, no red to ignite.
No coal clattered down, no pistons did churn,
Only soft winter snowflakes softly did turn.
