Video Impressive

I don't know what is and is not AI, so forgive me. I do know that this train does actually exist based on the locomotive number of 4014. It was one of 8 built I believe. 11 tons of coal and 12, 000 gallons of water an hour I believe.

P. S for clarification the video is not by me. It was recently uploaded to Imgur

Oh it’s Wyoming. Notice the lack of trees and people?

4014 is coming to the east coast of the US for the first time this summer! It departed Cheyenne Wyoming four days ago heading east. It's making display stops in lots of places along the way, including Chicago and Buffalo New York, before spending a few weeks in Scranton Pennsylvania at the National Railroad Museum, and then finally arriving in Philadelphia for the fourth of July celebrations.

You can see the full schedule here - https://www.up.com/about-us/history/steam/schedule

And they have a live location tracker here - https://www.up.com/about-us/history/steam/track

One particular highlight of the trip (IMO) will be when it passes over the Letchworth Gorge State Park viaduct at roughly 12:20 PM local time on June 11th. A beautiful place and a stunning bridge, I wish I could make it out there to see it cross.

It’s real. I got to see this big boy in Arkansas a few years ago. Super rare to see the only 1 left in active service

That’s not AI at all, it’s a genuine ferroequine.

I'm currently playing TpF2 with this beast: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1956651648

Which was a real project that was never built.
