When it is snowing and blowing you can still drive a Train
My granddaughter just showed me a really cool thing for the computer. You can drive your own train and swap cars and all neet stuff. You have to watch the videos there are a ton of them on the you tube.

When it's really snowing and blowing, the reality is... you're not going to be
driving anything but the other end of a shovel.
As said on the Internet, "Just sayin' " ; )

Not a problem, just visit Florida in the winter and you can drive your train when it is snowing and blowing ( Up North that is )

Any 4-3/4" gauge tracks down South?

I only thought it rains in Oregon.

Actually, one doesn't "drive" a train, at least in North America. In years past, I spent a lot of time in locomotive cabs and cannot recall see the steering wheel the engineer uses to "drive" his train.

Very true. It's always been Run or Operate in the railroad world I've known.
It's one of those, "Is it a Train Bridge, or a Railroad Bridge?" -thangs-
One could say you "use" a shovel and don't necessarily drive it.
Great photo of operating in the snow at Train Mountain chiloquinruss.
dash9... In driving my keyboard, I did not intend to hijack your original message related to Train Sim World.
Perhaps more photos of running equipment in the snow will find its place on this thread. Who knows?

Re: When it is snowing and blowing you can still drive a Train
Found a couple/three more snow theme photos.
The last photo shows a year I didn't get anything put away before a heavy lake effect snow storm hit.
You can barely see the boom of the IB wrecker to the left, and a line wire pole sticking through
the snow at the right. The clumps on the right are the train, and a pile of stacked track.
Honest! ; )

Florida? That's taking the easy way out!

Here it rains, clears, burns, and snows, not in any special order.dash9 wrote:I only thought it rains in Oregon.
And you Engineer a train.

Re: When it is snowing and blowing you can still drive a Train
Or, do you just engineer the locomotive and not the entire train? The engine is only part of the locomotive, not the train. Or, is the person that designed the locomotive an engineer of locomotives? When in control of a locomotive, have you actually engineered anything? If you get a degree in engineering, are you now qualified to operate a locomotive? If you use any of these terms interchangeably, have you actually broken any rules?And you Engineer a train.

If you are a conductor on a train as a part time job, are you just a semi-conductor?
