USA Tank 30065 taking the local tourist train on Phorum Peninsula

 

Black Five 45157 (45407) At Fort William on The West Highland Line

 

hold up...we got 6 more months

 

dont get it.

 

Where did you get the USA tank from? I can't find it.

 

It's a British thing. I'm pretty sure they mean the Summer vacation season.

 

A pair of B&LE Santa Fe's pull into the station at Conneaut Lake Park with a train full of excited tourists in the summer of 1925.
Route Used: Bessemer & Lake Erie
Locomotive Used: B&LE Santa Fe

 

An extra capacity Surfliner races through North County after a long day at the San Diego County Fair.
Route Used: Pacific Surfliner
Locomotive Used: EMD F59PHI

 

The summer season for 1932 is underway at Conneaut Lake Park, and a Bessemer and Lake Erie 2-10-2 is shown here with a train full of B&LE employees for an afternoon on the lake.

 

It's a hot, sticky afternoon in July, and Class 47 47 095 is getting a bit of a workout powering out of Dumfries with a return journey from Stranraer Harbour on the West Coast Main Line over Shap.

 

Our Summer holiday isn't until the middle of July.

 

One of the shots in my collection that actually does use only assets available in Steam/Train Simulator store. lol

Class 37425 crosses the bridge on the Wherry Lines Route, en route to the seaside town of Great Yarmouth.

 

For many people, the English Riviera Line route is synonymous with summer holidays, especially in years gone by. Here, a Class 50 and Class 31 make their way along the sea wall towards Dawlish. In the background, can be seen Parson and Clerk rock, a natural rock formation which juts out into the sea.

This section of the line was destroyed during a storm in 2014, but was later rebuilt.

The Beauty of a Castle Class (Not 'Castle Glass,' as it says on the history page for TS 2016) 'speeding to the west' across the all time favourite British holiday destination. The Riviera coast of Devon.

 

Its from phorum peninsula. retired now

 

Maybe read the rules then

 

Class 483 in NSE livery sits at Ryde Esplanade sometime during the 1990s, waiting for the last few passengers to board the final service up the pier as the Sun sets over the Solent.

 

Another three class 483s at Ryde St. John's Road on a busy summer Saturday afternoon. This brings back fond memories of holidays on the Isle of Wight, going down to St. John's Road to catch the rickety old tube trains each morning.

 

Route: Northeast Corridor
Engine: Amtrak AEM-7

 

Route: ECML London - Peterborough
Train: Class 43 HST

 

Oxenholme is a hamlet which has a junction station on the West Coast Main Line between Preston and Carlisle. A Class 390 intercity train is arriving while a Class 158 DMU is waiting on the Windermere branch line to take holiday-makers to the Lake District.
Route: West Coast Main Line over Shap
Trains: Class 390 EMU, Class 158 DMU

 

Boating is just one of many summer activities in the South Devon area. DMUs such as this NSE Sprinter provide transportation for locals and tourists alike.
Route: The Riviera Line: Exeter-Paignton
Train: Network SouthEast Class 159 DMU

 

Meeper5 Marshallham relevance?

 

I agree, some screenshots are a bit off the theme this week

 

holiday season is december and christmas stuff so there is snow

 

To be fair my intention was to promote summer screenshots as it was the first day of summer But my wording wasn't right, so it's my fault.

 

ah i'll post a different screenshot

 

British English: "holiday season" = Summer
American English: "holiday season" = Winter

I suppose "Summer holiday season" would be the easy way to make it a bit clearer

 

Wait a minute. Sorry to be a pain, but how does this relate to summer holidays? I'm confused

 

what is it never cloudy during the summer?

 

I think they're looking for tourist type stuff. When they reffer to summer holiday, they're asking for stuff like the special or extra capacity passenger trains that commonly run during this time of year.

 

I was a bit confused as well, seeing this on the TSW side. I thought, snow shots?
Us yanks call it "vacation"
Makes perfect sense now

 

ok then fine here is another one Route: NY-New Haven
Engines: CSX SD40-2 and Amtrak ACS-64

 

That screenshot is truly breathtaking! If that doesn't win, I don't know what will!

 

I think the problem is "holiday season" is ambiguous. No one calls Christmas "the holiday season" in the UK, holidays in the UK mean taking time off from work and going on a trip somewhere (usually foreign) and it's usually done in the middle of summer. Christmas is too cold with too dismal weather to have holidays around there (unless you jet off to the Southern Hemisphere).

In the USA, holiday season means exclusively Christmas. Translating from British English, "holiday" in en-gb means "vacation" in en-us.

So if whoever started this thread speaks British English, they mean "summer vacation" if you speak US English.

Two peoples separated by a common language....

 

If it was ever on the Steam store, it has to be official content - just because it's been retired I don't think makes it "unofficial". Also someone last week was complaining about *sound packs* disqualifying an entry. You can't see a sound pack in a screenshot, it has no bearing on it!

 

Honestly I didn't foresee this I think we will be fine with both winter and summer shots, just let's let the best one win

 

Thank you, that's very kind.

 

No problem!

 

A northbound Amtrak P32AC-DM-hauled Empire Service Train bound for Niagara Falls is seen racing parallel to the Hudson River on the Hudson Line: New York to Croton-Harmon route. During the summer vacation season, Empire Service trains are full of tourists, usually bound for Niagara Falls. Sometimes the trains have a sixth car added on to accommodate the higher volume of passengers.

 

4F 0-6-0

Settle to Carilse route

 

Not to mention you can still purchase retired content from the DTG Amazon store. So on a technicality it's not retired, just not as easy to find as other content.

 

Both are on the Weardale and Teesdale Route on a cool summer morning. The first is a Rusty Black 5 with a stopping train from Wearhead and 2 Class 25's on an express heading for Blackpool. The second is a British Railways 101 DMU making its way for Middleton in Teesdale.

 

post them separately

 

Sorry for the confusion with the American and British meanings of 'holiday season' guys

This week's winner is Brutalist Ape with a screenshot that I really like, although I must admit there were other great shots yet this one was the closest to perfection

Sea cliffs add 'drama' to the shot, very nice . One of the routes ive been considering

 

Congrats! I knew it would win!
