Moving freight has always been hard work, especially for the strong mainline engines like Kent, Wes and Ellis. When it seems like they are approaching their limits, the appearance of a mysterious, "bobber," caboose changes the outcome of their jobs. As cabooses themselves are falling from mainstream use, how will the superpowered machines treat their newfound lucky charm?

The Hudson River valley has long been the proving ground of transportation, especially when it comes to the water level passage of the New York Central System. Beginning in 2021, the United Railroad Historical Society has been coupling up with Amtrak to allow its ornately restored observation car, "Hickory Creek," onto the back of one of its Empire Service trains from New York (Moynihan Train Hall) to Albany-Rensselaer, NY. Traversing the original trackage, with passengers encouraged to period dress, stepping aboard one of the last remaining cars from the 20th Century Limited makes for an extraordinary time warp.Q&A Video Announcement: 20,000 Subs!High Iron2022-08-01 | Only questions answered here will be counted.

In the 1800s, people moved by narrow gauge rails through Cumbres Pass and the Toltec Gorge, day and night. In August 2021, the first overnight train on the narrow gauge in over a hundred years carried passengers over the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad. With ornately restored rolling stock, 64 miles of track, and a clear night sky, the magic of rail travel in a time long left behind was rekindled.

With a whole day to go roughly 400 miles, and with modern traffic to dodge, the excursion of Union Pacific 3976 is one that brought the locomotive and the trackage it covers back to the limelight. This mainline excursion, sponsored by Coal County Rail History Inc., spans over two routes that represent an all day outing. The Coal County Railroad, also known as the Quahog Sub, encompasses big cities, the Pacific coast, and numerous loops around mountain ranges with breathtaking scenery and scores of industries. The South Bay Commuter route is a less detailed, yet vibrant representation of moving passengers and freight through the Central Valley to the Bay Area.
