Well, anything with a steamer coupled to it gets my vote.
Here is my train with a mixed freight steaming along the Kootenai River Sub. (The cab photo has been edited.)

I loooooooove Amtrak! And long freight trains, but not mixed freights. All has to be the same commodity.Yes, I know. I'm weird. Grain or intermodal is my favorite for freights. Amtrak, a nice long train with not really quite enough power and some express cars.Here's some pix of a long grain train on the Kootenai... which is, IMHO, the most scenic real-life freeware route available. And boy, it's accurate to the T.We have a 53-car grain train with 2 Dash 8s and a Dash 9 on the point, scheduled to run from Whitefish, MT to Sandpoint, ID, leaving Whitefish at 0900. Here we're climbing a little hill, by the looks of it.
We're crossing the bridge and entering either Bonner's Ferry or Libby, I don't remember which, but I think the former. This is one of the few times I could see the end of the train from the front.
Along the river. Doesn't look like we're under much power. No smoke coming from the Dash 9.
I love grade crossings, cuz I get to blow the horn and have a GOOD reason to do so!! They're also just cool.
Just starting to move after a meet west of Bonner's Ferry. I was busy watching the train go by and not accelerating, which is why the train I met isn't visible.
Another great example of the gorgeous scenery. Here I am arriving in Sandpoint at 1342, about eight minutes hot.
I LOVE the sounds on the Dash 8 I was driving. It's the first GE I've heard that comes close to sounding like the GE chug I know and love. I don't have any pix of Amtrak trains handy, but they are my favorite to drive. Tim Frost
