Hey all, Kevin here. Please read.

A message for my fans in Latin America. (plain text is in the image alt-text if you need it for translation.)

Trains trains and more trains! We are back @bsky.app!!!! Keep an eye out for our usual unhinged social media posting that is Mt Rainier Scenic Railroad! We don't make the rules, we just be ourselves and the marketing works! #scenictrains #seattle #washington #tacoma #railroad #steamtrain #transit

The actual testing period will last for an indefinite amount of time. After that, the game needs to get approved on consoles and we need to do various other things to prepare for release. That'll be all from me on this subject for a while...

The professional testers are familiarizing themselves with the game now. They begin formally testing on April 1st. Japanese translation quality assurance is projected to be completed in April. Outside of addressing bugs and translation, most of the development team has moved on from Chapter 5.

I was able to play this game years ago. I really liked it. I highly recommend it.

A friend of mine was using a tool to analyze market research for his game. As a check he tested it on DELTARUNE. Seems like I have a lot of things to work on...

We'll receive the first draft of the Japanese translation of Chapter 5 next week! Meanwhile, we've been polishing the game and doing some preliminary internal bugtesting on PC. Heavy bugtesting across every console will happen when the Japanese translation is done.

been makin these kinda things for @trainzgod.bsky.social for months now and now im getting requests from other people at this point i might just start taking commissions

New rapid discharge technology. We are still testing the design.

The odd couple: 52 year old Amtrak 80 tonner 1100 coupled to eleven day old ACS-64 606 at Wilmington shops. 11-18-2013 (repost or recreate to make rivet counters cry!) #trains #cool #amtrak #photography #wilmington #delaware #diesel #electric #weird

this loco once gave an entire train flat wheels because its compressor was too weak, and yet it somehow pulled the entire train anyway russian decs are freakin strong

another Shawmut engine, 98 this one was a pusher for some grades on the road. at the time, it was so strong that it pushed cars off the tracks, and even its own tender once it was also Baldwin 30,000, so it may have been used in a similar way as 60,000 for a time before the PS&N got it

ooo one for the NoVA nerds

To be short, they were outright failures. The induced draft fans were rapidly eroded by cinders, and their soft exhausts essentially choked out their crews with smoke. Both engines were quickly retired and replaced by more modern 0-8-0s.

Here is what I have dubbed "The Slugs." They were really nicknamed an "Automatic Switcher," but I feel like my nickname is apt. Anyways, what was the point of such a design? Well, in the late 40's, the N&W was having issues with smoke abatement laws, and since many of their aging Mollies had been

In service

might as well share these oddballs from the good ol' Q

And here is one of 600's sisters in her NdeM guise. Note the modification to the tender, as these engines were converted to burn oil on the NdeM. They were also reclassified as the UR-1.

Here's a rather handsome 2-8-4 of the Norfolk Southern! 600 here was one of five F-1 Berks built in 1940 for the Norfolk Southern, and proved their worth during the war. These engines were sold in 1950 for scrap, but were picked up by the NdeM before their actual scrapping years later.

@tylermkt.bsky.social i found more MKT tomfoolery

mckeens come in all shapes and sizes

you can put this mastodon in any style and it'll still look good

been diving into some local railroad history (and by local i mean just the entire state of Virginia) and ive found some little railroads that i really enjoy heres a couple images from em

"Most of his knowledge of the craft comes from magazines such as the Model Railroader and the Railroad Model Craftsman. 'A lot of people like to Youtube it, but personally I find I learn best from reading,' he said." The kids are alright. therealwv.com/2025/10/29/1...

I think it’s mad y’all

Memories of the Skaneateles

What I really like about the Reading & Northern RR is they run their excursion trains (both steam & diesel) like they've got somewhere to be, not a gentle stroll in the woods for that good olde tyme railroading. OFC, having a sizable network with for-profit freight helps. youtu.be/K1WmUToOOSs?...

And if railroads refuse to accommodate passenger operations, then they can provide it themselves.

The only remaining true Western Maryland steam locomotive just got royally screwed out of a proper preservation because the short-sighted morons in Hagerstown didn't want WMSR to have it. They're gonna give it a crappy paint job at best, forget about it, and then let it deteriorate even further.

Reading T-1 4-8-4 2102 battling the grade in Nesquehoning with ground-shaking stack talk on her return trip from Jim Thorpe to Reading, PA. August 13th, 2023. Getting to experience this with @ceruleansteam.bsky.social by my side made this shot my favorite from the whole chase. #trains #video

I’m hearing strong rumors that WMSR 561 is being repainted into a WM Chessie System livery and I’m here for it.

Jul 2, 2005: the St. Thomas Central Railway runs the Ridgetown Express over the Canada Southern line from St. Thomas to Ridgetown, ON. The 1923 ex-Essex Terminal Railway 0-6-0 steam locomotive No. 9 and diesel-electric No. 10 Hauled the four-car push-pull consist. 1/2

This was the last passenger train to operate over this 44-mile (71 km) section of the former CASO/Michigan Central line, built in 1872. The line had once hosted some of the New York Central's most prestigious trains, including the New York-Chicago "Empire State Express." 2/2
