A BNSF Z-Train bound for Georgia heads eastbound on a clear sunny morning near Winona Arizona. The train will later be handed over to the Norfolk Southern, hence the run-thru power in the consist. Route: Arizona Divide: Winslow - Williams Locomotives: GE ES44DC, EMD SD70ACe, EMD SD70M-2
Southern Pacific train symbol BKDOU, or more commonly known as the "Oil Can" glides into Mojave on a late afternoon sometime in the late 80's. The train utilized special tank cars designed by GATX and were branded as the Tank Train. SP ran the BKDOU to ship crude oil from Bakersfield to the oil refineries in the LA area. In modern times, the oil is now piped to storage tanks in Mojave and shipped out from there. Route: Tehachapi Pass: Bakersfield - Mojave Locomotives: EMD SD45, EMD SD45T-2, EMD SD50, EMD SD40T-2

Believed to be the the longest recorded passenger train. "At 14:20 on 29 October, 2022, a passenger train made up of 100 coaches pulled out of Preda station on the UNESCO World Heritage Albula Line, in Eastern Switzerland. The train measured 1.9 kilometres (1.2 miles) in length and weighed in at 2,990 tonnes" Sadly the Stadler Capricorn units used in this actual feat are not currently available in TSC so have had to use artistic licence and replace with the nearest Stadler Flirt equivalent. Loco:- SBB RABe 523 Route:- Albula Line
This is the recent world record breaking long passenger train assembled by the Swiss Rhaetian Railway (RhB) to celebrate their 175th anniversary. It could only go downhill, so the power lines weren't overloaded! Here's my recreation of it. Albula Line, ABe 8/12 Allegra
