Welcome to the Train Sim World Screenshot Contest! This week's theme is: You don't see that every day! You can vote for next week's theme in the poll attached to this thread. How does it work? You can submit your screenshot to the thread, and every Monday we will choose which screenshots will go to the loading screens. Shortly after, we will open a new thread and announce the winners. Each week has its own theme which is voted for by the community. Competition Rules: Limit is 2 screenshots per person; 1 screenshot per post. Include in your post the route the screenshot was taken on as well as the name of the train (if applicable). Screenshots must be in a 16:9 resolution, at least 1920x1080 pixels, even better if it’s 4K! Screenshots may be taken on Playstation 4, Playstation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X & S or Steam. Submissions must fit the theme of the week, as stated at the beginning of this post. Other Rules: Official content only. Please make sure anything that is not available on the Steam Store or Dovetail Store is not shown in the screenshot. - This means no community mods. No entries to include vehicles using Livery Designer. Due to licencing limitations we are unable to use these images. Your entry may be disqualified if it is deemed to not follow these rules. Please limit chat to only when absolutely necessary. Competition closes at mid-day Monday (UK time). The winner will be chosen every Friday. Winner's Prize: The winning screenshot will appear in the game as a loading screen for 4 weeks! How To Get shots: Setting up the shot If you are playing on Steam the keys “2” or “3” will offer a selection of pre-set external views, or you can use “8” to get a free camera with more control. If you are playing on console pressing the right joystick will give you a free external camera. Console players can change the camera angle moving the two joysticks, and on Steam the direction keys and mouse will achieve the same results. Taking as a Railfan Shot Make sure “Hide the UI” is on in settings, then... Xbox One – Hold the X button. PlayStation – Hold the Square button. Steam – Press Ctrl + F10 … Railfan shots can then be found in your Profile at trainsimworld.com.

While Norfolk Southern power isn't uncommon on the Southern Transcon, having one lead long hood forward is extremely rare, here a BNSF stack train is lead by NS 8084 just outside of Barstow, California. (Based on a picture in Arizona from 2006 https://www.railpictures.net/photo/150283/). Route: Cajon Pass Locomotives: GE ES44AC, GE ES44C4
Route: SEHS Train: Class 377. You dont see an ex- Southern unit every day in Asford.(This is not fake, you can find them very rarely on every southeastern train with a 375)
Route: BNSF Cajon Pass Trains: BNSF AC4400C4 x 3 + Manifest / UP SD70ACE x 3 + Coal hoppers Parallel running.

Route: West Somerset Railway Loco: BR Class 52 and master of the second plan West Somerset Railway by vitas posted Nov 22, 2022 at 6:23 PM
Route: West Somerset Railway Station: Dunster Loco: Special guest West Somerset Railway by vitas posted Nov 22, 2022 at 6:23 PM
Route: Birmingham Cross-City Loco: Class 37/5 37512 with ‘The Night Owl’. Not every day a loco hauled passenger train makes it to Redditch!
Route: Kassel-Wurzburg Train: DB BR 182 MRCE, ICE 1. Let's be honest, you rarely see the MRCE 182 outside of Hamburg- Lubeck and Dresden- Chemnitz. Also look at this amazing weather.
Route: Bakerloo line Train: Class 314 it seems 314216 has got a wee bit lost and finds itself at London Waterloo whatever happened god knows how it got there or how it fits through the tunnles!
Scenario: A Helping Hand Route: CSX Heavy Haul Loco: CSX SD40-2 I feel this shows what was and what is, the older from days gone by and the new more modern trains/Locos. "Chessie System, Inc. was a holding company that owned the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, the Western Maryland Railway, and Baltimore and Ohio Chicago Terminal Railroad. Trains operated under the Chessie name from 1973 to 1987."
now THIS is indeed something you don't see everyday Train: DB DoppelStockwagen/Control Car Route: Ruhr-Sieg Nord Player: Super 8
Here's an unusual train on SFS Hannover Wurzburg. Only restricted to 200 kmh 125 mph instead of line speed 250-280 kmh (155-175 mph) Locomotive DB BR406 ICE 3M Location Gemunden Viaduct Route SFS Hannover Kassel Wurzburg & Main Spessart Bahn.
Route: Horseshoe Curve Trains: ES44AC NS, AC4400CW YN3b, AC4400CW UP, ES44C4 BNSF On a sunny day at Horseshoe Curve in Altoona in the US, an unfortunate bout of unreliability for Norfolk Southern is on full display. Although the 55K Inbound to Cresson grain service is being powered by their own ES44ACs (numbers 8148 and 8039), several locomotives have been brought in from other Class I railroad operators. As such, CSX Transportation AC4400CW 260 leads NS ES44AC 8022 and Burlington Northern and Sante Fe ES44C4 3274 for the 539 York Haven - Shire Oaks empty coal run. Meanwhile, NS ES44AC 8178 guides Union Pacific AC4400CW 6101 down the grade on the 20T Kansas City - Harrisburg intermodal timetable. The variety of foreign power delights the onlooking railfans.
Route: London Commuter Trains: Class 387/2 GX With Gatwick Express Class 387218 broken down in Clayton in the UK, its fellow southbound counterpart 387215 has had to divert slowly past using the London up line.
