@stormlover_51 to move fast freight, mail, express cargo, etc.

I don't understand. Why would I want a freight car on my passenger train?

i see in this wagon maybe a box car of amtrak? what do you think as suggestion
donoteat  [author] 13 Aug, 2018 @ 3:45pm 
nah, no hook, vestibule, windows, lighting, etc.

you'd need a new car for an RPO

@Donobeat. Can this be perfect for a RPO car?

Having an issue with unsorted mail not showing as an option, is there a reason for that?

it'd be really neat to have a baggage car. if I had any skills at all I'd put one together

Could you make an Amtrak sceme for this or another one of your express boxcars? It would add to the realism.

Hey, what's that coach behind the REA boxcar? It looks really good.
donoteat  [author] 24 Jun, 2017 @ 1:19pm 
@voroneanud I'm not doing 844. I might do 611 sometime later but I have other projects to work on.
Sasha Klimov 24 Jun, 2017 @ 10:58am

Sasha Klimov 24 Jun, 2017 @ 10:57am

Sasha Klimov 24 Jun, 2017 @ 10:53am

So you applied the new mechanic for ship to this boxcar? That's freaking awesome~:steamhappy:

6 cargo compartments so it can hold six types of cargo at once
A Guy Called Pi 23 Jun, 2017 @ 5:17pm 
So why does it need the testing version?
A Guy Called Pi 23 Jun, 2017 @ 4:31pm 
Wow. Okay. That's pretty quick. I wasn't saying that you were bullshitting, of course, I just had a hard time believing it.

here's the Fast Mail at Croydon, track speed 135, train speed likely 110, worse quality video though

here is a listing for the cars at Rail Merchants, quoting them as rated for 110
http://www.railmerchants.net/amtrak-material-handling/amtrak_equipment_specifications.htm
(they are all being sold because FedEx and UPS filed a lawsuit against Amtrak saying that they couldn't get into the package business)

they go 110.
A Guy Called Pi 23 Jun, 2017 @ 4:25pm 
That doesn't look much faster than 60Mph. And 80Mph is quick, but not crazy quick. Anything over 85, I'd call "unrealistic".
donoteat  [author] 23 Jun, 2017 @ 4:18pm 
@grijzepilion sure, check it out:

and not just express service on passenger routes -- the ATSF would run the Super C, "The World's Fastest Freight Train", at speeds over 80 MPH fairly regularly.
A Guy Called Pi 23 Jun, 2017 @ 3:34pm 
So there really are freight cars that can/could do more than 75Mph? The fastest freight train I'd ever heard of so far does 140Kmh, which is already crazy quick.
