The pictures were taken on the Monon Route. The locomotives are my own repaints. At Trainsim.com I will upload them soon.

More Antracite Railroads follow ... :)

Now a few more screenshots.
Some photos from Railpictures.net served as inspiration:
CNJ GP7s 1532 & 1528 head north at South Amboy with a long hopper car train of coal.

While I am more of a fan of the PRR, these screen shots look amazing. Keep up the great work!

After some time a few new pictures. The route is the Lehigh Valley from the Anthracite Project, which I am currently polishing up a bit. :)
I took the screenshots after original motives of Railpictures.com.

Three C420 and one RS11 pass a freight train past the old New Jersey Zinc Company factory. Both the factory and the Lehigh Valley Railroad are gone.
