Bound for Didcot Yard, English, Welsh & Scottish Railway Class 66210 and ten car-laden IPA wagons depart the Ford plant at Dagenham Dock in the UK. Meanwhile, DB Schenker Class 66063 awaits a green signal towards Acton Terminal Complex, having been loaded at Hanson Aggregates Dagenham with sand dredged from the Thames Estuary. Change is afoot: Ford will soon be stopping car distribution from the site, and the EWS livery will soon be replaced by the DBS colours.

On a wonderfully sunny day, Deutsche Bahn BR 363 529-2 delivers a shipment of solar panels to a solar farm in Delitzsch in Germany. Meanwhile, Deutsche Bahn BR 185-273-0 races north with mixed freight. It has just been rebranded, the remains of its "RAILION DB Logistics" stickers still visible. The BR 363 likely won't face the same treatment – after all, its work today is only speeding up its replacement by an electric locomotive.

Think you're using mods or reshade in the pic?

 

Only enabled the lens flare setting in the engine ini, I removed the other "mod/reshade" settings because of lower performance... At least I think I did when I took the screenshot, either way it's not going to win just like all my other screenshots I've submitted. Looks nice though with the lens flare in my opinion

 

Great story just adds value to the photo!

 

Thanks mate, I find it's quite fun thinking up a couple of scenarios each week for these competitions

 

Change over years: TSW 2020 and TSW 3 in one picture
Route: Main-Spessart Bahn + Schnellfahrstrecke Kassel - Würzburg
Trains: Railion BR 185.2 + DB BR 403

 

How are you able to get a DB BR403 onto the Viaduct and for the 185.2 you can use a Kassel Wurzburg version the one with Working LZB if you have TSW 3 instead of the 185.2 Main Spessart Bahn

 

GOD MODE I think​

 

Yup

 

How are you able to play Kassel-Wurzburg already? Or is it a screenshot from a stream or article?

 

There is a small section represented on the existing Main-Spessart Bahn route.
