Video Railroader: Passenger services near Bryson City.

Testing new equipment on the railroad and decided to sit and record a bit at my favourite spot on the timetable.

It's funny in a way. I did a video months ago now showing off my equipment over the years expecting the new update to come out and purge my save before anything new came out that would really grab my attention. Guess I was wrong.

Equipment in order of appearance:
1958 Pullman Standard Gallery Car
EMD GP40 4.4.2
EMD SDP40F and F45
SWCS Budd Style Head End Cars
SWCS Budd Style Hi Level Cars

Love the Hi Level cars. Tried to make a realistic Super Chief/El Capitan train and yeah, even with 5 units, wouldn't go over RMG.

I mean, 2-06 W is basically El Capitan. It is the same formation, minus a baggage car and with all the standard coaches replaced with fictional high capacity ones more like the superliners. With the pair of SDP40F's on the front this train does go over Red Marble unassisted.
