Ohio Rail Movie

Looking for something to do? Do you want to kick back and just enjoy a MSTS train movie? All Aboard (i.e. prounounced Hollywood) has released a 15 minute movie featuring the Ohio Rail route (with Upgrade available from All Aboard) broken down into three five minute sections. The movie frame size is 384x288 and the clarity is decent. Each movie section features music and engine sounds as you follow along on a recreation of the original Ohio Rail activity B8-8 The Endurance Test.

This activity, originally written for the Build 8 version of Ohio Rail and then updated to the current version Build 10, starts off at the Mt. Ephraim Logging Camp #2 early in the morning. The sun is just poking over the mountains and you can almost feel the chilled air while the birds sing. We start off watching two OR&W F3s couple to a small string of log cars bound for Sarahville Lumber. The train sets off just after a local grain express passes through. After a turnaround at Mt. Ephraim, the log train and the two F3 units (3d trains - repainted by Marv Keur), speedily travel down to Marietta. You'll see small towns and large cities pass by and even sit in the driver seat for spells. At Marietta the log train turns around on the wye and heads back up the way it came to Sarahville and ends the activity and the movie at Sarahville Lumber. Captions are provided in the movie to keep you abreast of the train's location and the sites along the way. Admission is free, all you have to do is bring the popcorn.

The movie is located at Ed Hawkins' web site Hawk & Badger Railroad Web Site at the Garberdrome:
