MSTS: Obama's Inaugural Train

Well while I was watching Obama's Inaugural train make its way down to DC today on CNN, I thought it would be awesome to run the exact train in MSTS too, so I put together a consist, and ran the train. I even ran parts of the trip at the same time and location the real train was, such as the departure from Wilmington. This video shows the arrivals and some of the departures from the stations it stopped at today, and also the slow passes at Claymont, DE and Edgewood, MD. The locomotives I used on this train are repainted NALW P42s. They're not exactly done, but they look pretty good IMO. I also used my Northeast Regional repainted cafes, as well as cafes with no logo just like the real train had. The private car in the back was a bit of an issue though. I couldn't find the Georgia 300 or any similar car, so I had to use an old Union Pacific coach. Anyway enjoy the video!

@murjax I bet someone was watching it on TV and that inspired them to make it in MSTS, then it came out a week later!!!!

@MSNWindows7 I think that was the #2 view. I just moved around a bit to make it look like it was trackside.

[MSNWindows7]
