While requiring 4 EMD SD40-2s for this whole train of only 17 wagons of manifest freight may seem absurd it's good to remember that the climb over the Cajon Pass is a real tough one thanks to it's steep grades as seen as the descent on the left. Union Pacific Railroad EMD SD40-2s '7835', '8167' and '7888' lead this 17 wagon manifest freight train over the top of the Cajon Pass on the Cajon Subdivision section of the Southern Transcon headed on a northbound journey to the sidings at Hesperia, California in the United States of America during a late Spring afternoon.

In third place we have paulc with this shot of a tanker train. Love the clouds extending way into the distance. In second place we have CragieC for this shot of a "train." I didn't consider that most of you guys play British content and thus run very short trains, and checking my notification and seeing a one-car train gave me a solid laugh! And in first place, with this shot with excellent focus and lighting, is Blazin. Congrats all, Blazin, you have the reigns!
Thanks for 1st place and congratulations to the other winners! I'll try and have the new thread up within the next 24hrs.
New thread is up! The theme is Short Lived Operators so have fun! https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/unofficial-screenshot-competition-week-48.87270/
My intention entirely, I struggled like heck to try and frame an entire freight consist, and then had the lightbulb moment. God bless our little UK branch lines. That is what I love about this thread, you can interpret the theme to your heart's content and just hope the judge likes it, glad you enjoyed it. Many thanks for the podium place, much appreciated.
