Re: Introductions anyone?

Hello there, my name is Joel. I’m in my mid thirties and am married with one kid. Been messing around in all types of simulators for awhile, nothing too seriously.

Railroad Photography

Thought it would be neat to create a thread where we could all share our railroad photos. I'll begin with a link to my Flickr account: https://www.flickr.com/photos/mainstreamrailfan/ Here is a link to a photo I shot late last month of Norfolk Southern Heritage Unit #8105 (The Interstate Motor) lead...

Re: Unit ethonal trains labled as Grain trains in CAL server

The BNSF does run ethanol trains under the "G" symbols. It just depends on service demands and how local management decides to symbol the train. For instance the unit ethanol train that leaves Galva, Illinois and runs to Birmingham, AL often times runs as a G-GLVBIR and back as a X-BIRGLV.

I made an appearance last night (Saturday) on the server, and want to thank everyone for such a warm and patient welcome, and I hope I didn't cause too much chaos, careering around. I especially want to thank Justin for giving his tim...
