On another day and an unfortunate change of weather to the drab spring typical of Oregon and northern California, a four pack of tunnel motors struggle to drag 12000+ tons of freight up the grade.

Figured the new T-Motors were missing something

An SP Forwarder led by SD40T-2 8327, GP60 9684, GP40-2 7613, and B40-8 8071 charge up the grade past Worden.

Josh, thanks. Its not impossible, it's just going to take a lot more time than I have as the TRCX cars are the old riveted cars and this model is the newer welded models. It'll take a lot more texturing and considering what I do for a real railroad up to 60+ hours a week... Finding the time is a chore. With that said, there is progress.

The Kentville Local is just starting its journey to Hantsport and return, with cars bound for Maritime Co-Op, Hostess Foods, Atlantic Co-Op, Kent Refrigeration, Cavendish Fertilizer, and more.
CPAC1 rolls under the "Elephant Rock" in Crawfords, NH on its eastbound trip to Waterville, ME where the reefer cars from the west coast, finally reach their final destination.

Here is one where I can pretty much hear the flange squealing through the turn:

Not sure why it isn't showing full size, which I selected?

Progress I can live with. That looks AMAZING so far.

An early morning grain train on the Korimer sub with a trio of C40-8Ms on point. The leader is still sporting its former owner's grey and blue paint.
