Howdy! I'm R3ading, here you'll find trains, trucks, vessels, and other machinery/vehicle and vehicle related topics. (Mostly focused on trains.) In addition, I'm also kind of a weather nut! You'll see: Models, Photography, Various Games, Trainiax Paints, and General banter.
Recently, while out for another train, I came across my local shortline. Only to find they've found new business! The spur on the left hasn't been served since 2023. Thankfully, it isn't rusting. As of now, it's frequented by centerbeams.

DID YOU KNOW that actress Stephanie Powers was very intimately involved with railfanning the Pacific Electric in its final days with her brother, Jeffrey J. Moreau?
If you've grown up watching the Herbie movies, it's interesting to find weird connections like this. More info in the alt text.

I'm sure everyone is tired of hearing about the drunk raccoon, but the Virginia Distillery Co. posted this in response, and it's amusing (at least to me)

Yakima's Interurban is in DANGER.
A long battle has been going on between the city, its people, & the RR about how to keep this operation running.
Do your part to help save it for future generations.
If you're in the region, there's a council meeting on 1/20/26.

Shocking: Went to the model railroad club and ended up seeing a KCS ACe quad pack and the Metra holiday train in Itasca instead.

I think a lot about live songs where, for no reason at all, they throw a random solo at the beginning of a performance.

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

For #deercember we're showing appreciation for the adorable low poly deer in MSTS that would actually frolic and run away if you honked your horn. Something I havent seen in any other train sim.

realized the other day that ocean going railcar ferries if designed properly can be feasible and then found out that a terminal railroad on hawaii could actually be feasible then cooked a crazy late 80s/early 90s scheme that basically plays the miami vice soundtrack 24/7

Throwback to this gem I found by chance last summer, I wonder what the story is when it comes to how this drop deck actually got to Indiana.
