November, 1992. For the 50th Anniversary of the annual Santa Train that runs along the Clinchfield Railroad, CSX had a special guest come an visit. UP Challenger 3985 was used for this special occasion, and was decorated as Clinchfield 676 for the excursion. Here, the Challenger comes thru Dante, passing by the iconic church in town. Route: Clinchfield Railroad: Elkhorn City to St. Paul Locomotive Union Pacific Heavy Challenger
Odd timing for this theme. I assume the winning shot will probably have a Christmas theme, but it won't go live until some time after Christmas!
Would be nice if they could just pick the most liked or something. Or nominate cscarpenter the jury, like with the unofficial.
They stopped doing that a few years ago as a few members would make fake accounts to boost their like count.
Sorry was abit on confusion, winner will be drawn on Monday but next contest won’t be till January hope this helps
Loco : DB BR 146 Coming out of the sheds into a very cold German Winters day in the snow Route : Frankfurt - Koblenz
The Christmas Market Express pulls in to Settle Station with some unusual passengers waiting to board. Loco:- LMS Rebuilt Royal Scot Route:- Settle - Carlisle
I think we have the winner here. I can't see how you'd top this as a seasonal screenshot, so I'll bow out now. Great shot cscarpenter. BTW, What pack has those Christmas objects?
Thanks for your kind comments IronBladder, much appreciated. Not counting my chickens just yet, there is another shot already posted which I personally like and we still have the weekend to go. I only found the Christmas Assets last night after I went searching for some to create that shot. You can find them here. Best wishes
and where is the screenshot i dont see it IronBladder and please trying to buy vote because a fair comp is not who has the most likes its what dovetail thinks looks nice simple
Heritage Ge 6/6ii 704 runs a santa special over the Langwieser Viaduct on the Arosa Line, wonder if the passengers have noticed they have aquired some low flying company?
Not sure what you are trying to say? Post #20 by Ironbladder clearly references the cscarpenter shot https://forums.dovetailgames.com/attachments/103745/ As for your trying to buy vote comment, don't get where you are coming from. Who are you aiming that comment at and why? As you say yourself if you amass 50 likes it does not have any say on whether you win or not. How can you buy a vote when there are no votes to buy?
Thank you to everyone who has entered the screenshot contest this year, some really fantastic shots keep it up, the screenshot contest will return in January, this weeks winner with this awesome shot on the RhB is unionpacificfan, Congratulations. Have a lovely christmas and new year everyone!
