Recently one of the railroad business trade publications posted some interesting information on current freight car stats. Consider this some insider information on the current state of railroads active in North America today. 

Hi Everyone!

Hi All,

Hello All,

I just uploaded the second video of my How To Series on my Seaboard Central YouTube channel. This month is all about trains. While I didn’t include every train type I went over all the basic ones in operation during the modern era. More importantly, I wanted to talk about the different trains operating on my current version of the Seaboard Central.

Hope you enjoy the presentation!

Here’s a shot of the current locomotive purchased by Cargill to unload unit soybean trains at their Gainesville, GA facility. They contract the work out with a company called Rail Serve.

Hi All,

I have recently started up a new ‘How To’ series on my YouTube channel that I plan on publishing around the 15th of each month. My layout updates will still show up at the end of the month.

Hi All,

Here’s the latest update on The Seaboard Central. This past month I’ve been working on structures for my East Griffin sections. A couple are modeled after prototype structures found trackside and were made by kitbashing Walthers kits with Pikestuff components. The houses are wood kits from Laser Art. I have really taken to these kits. They are easy and fun to build. If you haven’t tried it I recommend adding some of these houses to your layout.

Hello All You Programming Experts Out There!

I could use your help. I’m trying to re-program a locomotive with a newer full throttle sound file for an SD40-2. Since I normally run them in a consist of two or three units I wanted to upload a different file to try to eliminate the phasing effect. At the same time I am changing everything over to my new standard function table values.
