    Run8 Train Simulator

    I've got the game, but all of the DLC makes it look like it's something from EA. I liked how MSTS had 3rd party developers, and plenty of freeware. I wish someone would make freeware for Run8.

    Tracks in the Snow 2011

    Thanks Ross and Will. Yeah, the radio clip was the second half of a funny conversation between the engineer and conductor. The pan was hard to do, barely hearing the train over the rushing waters of the falls.

    Tracks in the Snow 2011

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95p0QScAgGU Here's the video I put together for the event. First time editing in Sony Vegas, and first time doing a "serious railfanning film." Let me know what you think of it.

    Mount Rainer

    A south-bound BNSF Garbage train makes its way over Bridge 14 on the Seattle Subdivision. View full size, it looks much better.

    On the front page, it looked like a cab from Train Simulator!
