The Torpedopfannenwagen weighs up to 300T when loaded and are specifically designed to keep molten steel at the required temperature of 14000 degrees Celsius for more than 30 hours. They are currently trying to adapt them to run out of BioNTech at -70 deg C, full of Covid-19 Vaccines. Come on lads, you can do it! Loco:- DB BR 232 Ludmilla Route: Wutachtalbahn
You certainly won't see this everyday, but how I wish we could. Loco:- Class A1 "Tornado", Class A3 "Flying Scotsman", Class A4 "Mallard" Route:- (Just released on Steam) JT Midland Main Line, Sheffield - Derby
A Class 89 "Badger" & Class 370 APT in service on the East Coast Main Line London-Peterborough. Neither of these locos were developed further than the testing stage.
To the delight of passengers, the DB loco gymnastics team put on their annual display at York. East Coast Mainline, DB101, DB294, BR Class 43 & BR Class 55.
Triple traction with DB Br 118 048-4+118 012-6+118 016-2 with 14 passengerwagons on Ruhr Sieg Line Route: Ruhr Sieg Line Locos: DB Br 118 048-4+118 012-6+118 016-2
Here we see 4 of Norfolk Southern's heritage units meet as they round the bend. 3 out of the 4 represent railroads that have operated the line around The Curve. Horseshoe Curse SD70ACe, ES44AC
It's 1944, and WWII is in full swing. The New Haven Railroad is in the midst of a power shortage as a result of the massive increase of traffic. To help solve the problem (temporarily atleast), the NH has called a handful of the US Army's S160 class of 2-8-0's. Here, we see them triple heading a merchandise freight heading from Cedar Yard in New Haven to Springfield. It may not be the most cost-effective solution, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Route Used: VNHRR Springfield Line Locomotive Used: USATC S160
The Pennsy had a motive power issue of their own during WWII. Much of their locomotive roster was not up to the long and heavy freight trains and wartime restrictions prevented them from building a new locomotive. So, the Pennsy decided to base their new class of locomotive of an existing design. They decided to lease a C&O T1, and a UP Challenger (IRL it was an N&W Y6b but shhhhh) and test their capabilities on heavy freight trains. Here we see Challenger #3975 hauling a freight train up Horseshoe Curve. In the end, the Pennsy went with the C&O T1 as their basis and thus, the PRR J1 would be born. Route Used: Horseshoe Curve Locomotive Used: Union Pacific Challenger
Norfolk Southern Coal District ES44AC Here we see an empty Monongahela Railroad train waiting in a siding as a loaded coal drag slides by on the main.
V200 on trial run in Northern England. Carlisle, West Lines of Scotland. Behind the V200 a Mk1 Coach with air-vacuum transformer, measurement and testing equipment, a Mk1 Parcel Wagon loaded with heavy tools and special equipment, a class 55 back-up engine and the Express train to Glasgow.
You don't see that every day - an image as perfect and as interesting as this: Somewhere on the WCML over Shap in a Diesel Cab
The Rex Turn, CRR 1st and 2nd Gen Geeps going north to Elkhorn, passing the coal terminal north of Trammel. Locos used are CRR GP38-2 and CRR GP7s, route is Clinchfield Railroad: Elkhorn City- St Paul.
An interesting consist on this eastbound Intermodal, as Union Pacific's MoPac Heritage Unit leads Norfolk Southern's Nickel Plate Road Heritage Unit, as well as a pair of leasing SD60's on an early winter morning. Route: Montana Hi-Line Locomotives: EMD SD70ACe, GE ES44AC, EMD SD60
NEWS FLASH Woman Passenger at Stevenage so keen to get to where she is going first! ................... She gets in with the DRIVER!
Sometimes structures will give surprising silhouettes as you drive past them! Class 70 on the recently re-released South Wales Coastal.
It's nothing to do with the competition, but as an ex-British Steel man I can't help but correct the erroneous text you've copied from the DTG product page. The torpedoes (also 300T in the UK) carry liquid iron (not steel) at about 1,800 deg C (not 14,000 deg C!) from the blast furnaces to the BOS (Basic Oxygen Steelmaking) plants on the private railways in steel works. I've never heard of them being allowed out on the main line as that would be very dangerous and probably collapse bridges as well. There was a trial of much smaller liquid iron carrying wagons (80T) on the main line in the late 60s, but I don't think it went into full operation. https://britishsteel.co.uk/what-we-do/how-we-make-steel/
Crowded platforms at London Paddington on the Great Western Mainline to see A4 60009 Union of South Africa.
As for my erroneus " COPIED FROM DTG PRODUCT PAGE" that's where I purchased the Torpedoes. If you have a problem take it up with DTG, not me. Also Have you not read the the theme for this week:- YOU DON'T SEE THAT EVERY DAY It is a mythical screenshot, it would never happen in real life. Also this scenario is Germany not UK ...... PS: they also don't carry covid-19 vaccines at - 70 Deg C in real life
Union Pacific Challenger 3985 departs Cheyenne Wyoming eastbound with an intermodal train in tow. Route: Sherman Hill Locomotive: Union Pacific Challenger Based on this real life run
There is a set of tombstones on Koblenz-Trier that would be best in a montage, otherwise it take 3-5 shots to present them. (The train is the 442.) The lines on this photo: Like overran by a train. He came, saw nothing, and fell on the rails. (Aerosoft is the developer.) Some other lines: Hier könnte Ihr Werbung Stehen (your ad could be here). Das leben raste an ihn vorbei, wie ein vorbeifahrender Zug (Life sped by him like a passing train). I didn't live longer with Calgon.
Thanks for the warning and is a lobster card like an oyster card, but more red? Route: South Wales coastal.
A restored PRR K4s running on the fast line while passing a Northeast Regional. Route: Northeast Corridor Loco: PRR K4s
"Really sir? You've no idea why I pulled you over? What if I give you a moment to think about it?" Invincible from the Isle of Wight line is on the milk float track that runs around the streets of Guilford in the (newer) Portsmouth Direct route. She's the shortest wheelbase loco' I have and can make it all the way round the circuit even hauling a wagon or two although a couple of the gradients test her.
An Army of Boats in a river between Yarmouth and Acle. Route used is Wherry Lines and the Train in the background is Class 170 DMU Unbranded Anglia. Note: I deleted my previous screenshot due to licensing issues with Cross Country.
Almost completely absent from TS2021 are children or their world. The Im Köblitzer Bergland route is one place they feature. Behind is a DB BR 232 with Zags wagons.
No it's not photoshopped! A BR 52 on the Im Köblitzer Bergland route making use of some of its 2D assets to create a little cameo. Wedding couples occasionally pose on railway stations, but it's certainly not something you see every day.
6 locos(Southern Pacific) with 104 wagons on the hook. Route: Donner Pass Locos: C44-9W, SD40-2, and SW1500
2012 Queen's Diamond Jubilee, Class 67 hauling the Royal Train passed the famous twisted spire of St. Mary's & All Saints Church in Chesterfield, on the recently released on Steam, Midland Main Line, Sheffield - Derby.
Yes I think it is those locos but the SW1500 is on the track behind the long train so will change it now.
Some very different and interesting screenshots everyone. Well Done. This week's screenshot contest winner is Blacknred81 with this recreation of 3985. Congratulations. Have a great weekend everyone!
