It happened on the Rhaetian Railway's Albula line last month. A 100-car EMU wended its way from Preda to Alvaneu to celebrate the 175th anniversary of Swiss railroading.

It goes back and forth between Strasburg and Virginia Railroad Museum after it gets permission from AMTRAK. It's currently stuck as Strasburg for at least another week before going home

Pretty much, yeah. If they move it back to Roanoke, it's just going to be landlocked again with nowhere to run, and it's a real bitch to get it in and out of Roanoke at all. So, until they find somewhere else to run it (which I understand they ARE working on) it stays at Strasburg where it can at least run a 9 mile round trip now and then, even if that 9 mile trip is at barely a quarter of the speed 611 is capable of achieving.

Per a railfan I overheard on my 2019 photo charter there, it's like giving the Strasburg crews a Ferrari to play with, and telling them they have to keep it in 1st gear.

I actually use this for foaming, research, and even work! My only complaint is how inconsistent the abandoned rails layer can be. But it gives pretty detailed info on existing rail infrastructure. They're populating the mainline data now with attributes like max speeds and signaling which I'd like to see more of.

did you know that the lines on horsehoe curve were traced, but not from google maps?

they were traced from train simulator, which was traced from google earth imagery.

or so the story goes

I didn't know that but it makes sense. I only did local stuff, that I could verify or already knew. I didn't want to trace incorrect info.

This is how the human race, or the world might end.

In an event of global thermonuclear war destroying a majority of the surface of the world, what remains of the human race will battle it out via armored trains. Think about it.

Everyone will live on the train. Society and the government will be entirely on a train. As you may know however, a train can launch missiles. This is one scenario ultimately of how the world or the human race could realistically end.

When I ran this scenario I realized how futuristic this "final war" of humanity could be as it would require or most likely involve strategic satellite images (for launching the nuke or other weapons) and other technology potentially. Many also live underground, as a majority of the surface world is contaminated with radiation, except inside the battle trains.

The battle trains can even transform into robots, and fly, or go underwater, but it depends on what kind of battle train it is. When I really thought about it, this is the only logical/rational development forward of trains.

Do you have any mockups of the battle trains you can share?

Here's both angles of the crash. Strasburg is out of their minds if they think they can keep these off the internet. That said, their statement on the accident was VERY well written (see picture).

The switch was indeed lined straight into the trackhoe, left that way by MOW crews. The steam engine crew likely didn't notice because A: they're usually waving to the people on the train during the runaround, and B: that switch has been closed the last 10,000 times they've done this.

Little known fact, Night at the Roxbury was meant to be developed into a film where the protagonists spent the weekend high on a train thinking they were in fact at the club.
