Sometimes, some loco's after retirement from their original owners can find 2nd life as industrial switchers to larger operation either thru purchase or a leasing company. Here a former Frisco SW1500 works a cement plant just outside of Kansas City. Route: Granger Heartland: Kansas City – Topeka Locomotive: EMD SW1500
A GP9 assigned to Columbia Grain near Rudyard switches cars from a grain train on a summer afternoon in Montana. Route: Montana Hi-Line: Shelby - Havre Locomotive: EMD GP9
This is a bit of a mash-up of various DLC, but it shows typical operations in a European steel works. The location is Port Talbot Steelworks. British Steel had quite a large fleet of Class 14s, though I don't know if any made it to Port Talbot. The torpedo ladle wagon is German (Torpedopfannenwagen), but apart from the cab is similar to British types. BR Class 14, South Wales Coastal: Bristol - Swansea Route.
Hard Yard work: Route: Soldier Summit - Helper to Salt Lake City Loco: EMD SW10 Switcher Union Pacific
Rio Grande serves Provo, scene 2 - With an EMD SD9 (Soldier Summit) I anticipated the SD9 to be more of a road power, but according to the description (and scenarios) it was used as heavy yard power. Bonus
As a prairie takes on passengers, A G2 rolls out of the yard with a vast coal train about to tackle the descend - GWR Small Prairie, LNWR G2 - Memories of maerdy
As the sun sets, 2 GP40s wait in the yard for their next turn of service. (Kinda shoddy excuse for “industrial” but we will go with it for now haha) - GP40 - Tehachapi Pass
Some awesome shots of Industrial locos well done everyone. This weeks winner with this lovely shot of a Class 14 is snapnfix , congratulations! Have a great week everyone. Next Weeks Contest : https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/tsc-screenshot-contest-april-2024-week-18.81044/
