I not sure where this would be posted, but I wanted to share a neat experience when it comes to virtual railroading on the PC. I have used Train simulator 2013 for some time (since the 2012 version) and have built up a nice staple of UP equipment. Today I went from Buford to Laramie, WY. An old SD45 was heading the consit (has been alot of talk of SD45s lately) and I started taking screenshots trying to capture some of the sites along the route. Hope you enjoy!

nice screenshots looks real
I built a new PC last fall with some hefty hardware. TS2013 has pretty steep hardware requirements, but runs very smooth on my rig. When not dreaming about my new layout, or contemplating my next diesel procurement, I really enjoy the virtual rails. Glad you enjoyed the pics.
Interesting. I must admit that is the first UP SD45 I have ever seen WITHOUT a plow pilot.

Curious as well. Notice the SD70 and the other loco in the consist have the plow. Don't know why they would model the 45 without one.
My virtual railroad is probably the only railroad which derails more than my train layout!

I haven't derailed yet, but I accidentally decoupled the consist leaving an SD70Ace behind with about 60 cars as I pulled into the yard. Dumb move...
