Yo this video is awesome! The thumbnail had me fooled for the first few seconds and I swear I thought that SP EMD was real! Very impressive 3D art, great work. Also, nice P3 horn. Or is it an M3?

Being computer-illiterate, I've never seen one of these sims before, but I loved it! Very romantic and nostalgic, and eerily lifelike. I come from a country where 52 years ago a Minister of Transport of questionable integrity did his best to close down our railway system. Fortunately some of the cuts are now being reversed, but at great expense.

What faked me out is that I have been on rare mileage trips on old railroads almost this bad and into locations like this so the whole thing seemed so real! Nicely done!

Seeing there is a lack of a story here's one I made myself; There was a small group of rail enthusiasts that was walking down an abandoned siding they discovered, while walking they came across an abandoned train. They knew the batteries were dead but they checked the diesel, and they were slightly surprised to see there was still a bit in there, so they left and came back the next day with batteries, six deep cycles to be specific, they then hooked them up to attempt to start the engine, the starter engaged, the engine made a small, unseizing squeak as the RPM's increased and the engine roared back to life. Then being the rail fans that they were, they decided to try to take it for a drive, they didn't take it off the abandoned tracks but went across an old crossing then around a small bend before stopping, they then had a thought of going to southern pacific and asking how much for the engine...

I love these videos because the abandoned tracks and scenery is very realistic! You even inspired me to make one of these for myself!

Most abandoned railroad ways were put back to use in south Texas and also BNSF & UP built new ones as well due to the oil boom on the Eagle ford shale area. Texas oil boom & rail road people help keep our gas prices down at the pumps. Now more money for the consumers holiday shopping. BNSF & UP are a big part for economy and especially for our gas prices in transporting oil across America. Thank for sharing this video.

Dang, that is a very very very very good detail and nice repaint Gus! These are some really impressive Repaints! Keep it up Gus!

I LOVE IT WHEN PEOPLE DO THESE VIDEOS, ESPECIALLY WITH STEAM TRAINS!!

Amazing job, GUSTAVTIME!! I don't know how you do it, but you are excellent!

I thought it was real until the train got real close and the grass wasn't bending.

Thanks airing the Outstanding vid.Bliss

This is by far the best abandoned route i have ever seen. I am thinking about making my own abandoned railroad now after watching this video! Keep up the great work!

Brilliant work +GUSTAVTIME !!!! That horn on the Geep reminds me of ones equipped on Mass Costal Railroad 2007, an ex- ATSF chopped nose GP9 now used for hauling the Mass Coastal Energy Train, better known as "The Trash Train".

This video is really awesome. Very rare to see such rare railroads.

That was ... ... interesting. Brought back memories of doing transfers to the Rock Island, at least the rocking of engine and cars and pulling at no more than idle speeds. At least this track was above ground, and the rails were not raising a foot above ground 20 feet in front of the engine as you moved.

Wow! How fun. Just might get me a copy of that train simulator. Thanks for posting!

I though this was an actual video of a train until I hit full screen. Well done!

Hey Gustav, Let's make a Request: Train Derails at Abandoned Railroad.

Excellent CG training. Cheers!

That Pillsbury car looks like it blew off the relief opening, in the hot sun!

Thought this was real at first... badass graphics... and accurate viceo... great work!!!!!

HAHAHA at first i thought this was real then I noticed it was TS.I love how ya got the dips and bobs in the rail done to make it seem like its an old dilapidated track.I have a bear of a time building routes myself but I love putting in the detail work..Good job my friend.Do you have any intentions of sharing your yard?

2021 anyone?

intro sound? I'm searching for it for a long time :) And the vid is very nice realised. the details are amazing. And the realism is good. GJ!

The train I love

At first glance I thought It was real. Outstanding job sir!

Love that neat train video. I love that beautiful.scenery it had

Nice sim. The birds are really hollering their butts off.

Scary. Imagine just seeing a train come out of nowhere.

Very realistic game. But the trees and grasses don't move with the wind. Nice bird sounds too.

Nicely done!

that is one hell of a rough track

Of all the train videos I've ever seen, this was certainly one of them...and the most recent.

I remember this video and also the sound from tv man Titan 0:00

Pretty nice work . I miss my Train simulator . I need to get my old computer up and running again.

Merci! Thanck you: very interesting vidéo. We have a similar experience of ghost tran on an "abandonned" railroad. Impressive!

I LOVE Your videos GUSTAVTIME

Wow. A ghost train. The bed did not look stable. The switcher look as abandoned as the track, except for the cab interior! It looked practically new. Very neat video

What really tipped me off and gave the whole thing away, was the remains of an old open-wire telephone line running alongside the road. It simply did not look real.

There are tracks in Indonesia that make this look smooth.

Fantastic. I wonder how long since the line was used!

Love the rusty SP GP9!

Talk about an unkept railroad with a vegetation problem, they that sorry they can't keep the grass cut beside those rails?

Looks like either the NWP or the Exeter branch!

I've always enjoyed the train sim/rails simulator/works series from all the way back to Microsoft train simulator, but the one thing that has never changed is the unrealistic smoke and sound, the sound being the most important of the two. I'm still waiting for someone to figure it out.

They need some lawnmowers on the pilot.

Nicely done.

I remember a girl asking me what I wanted to be. I said an engineer. She said "oh, you want to build things?" I said NO, train.

Wait a minute - if there's a train rolling on the track, it can't be an ABANDONED railroad, can it?

i love Abandoned stuff videos

This might be an entirely computer generated video... even if it is, it's really well done.

Wow! That is some simulation! However, the telephone poles would have been from an earlier period.

Awesome clip! Well done! Very cool! 👍🏼😀👍🏼

This was great!

I like this video very much I had to subscribe a billion trillion times

They say that real actor's days are numbered in film production. This technology will be so good in 10 to 20 years that virtual actors will be created from software. Imagine a brand new black and white mobster film starring Edward G. Robinson and Humphrey Bogart with virtual acting so convincing by software generated "actors" that you actually believe you're watching the "real" Humphrey Bogart and Edward G. Robinson.

I like gustavtime train videos on KZfaq 👍

Fantastic! Even the very amateurish camera-work helped make it all seem real! I love it!

I clicked on this thinking it was real!!! Holy smokes. Now that would be a great game to have

What a wonderful little clip. Really nostalgic. and eerie. :-)

veyr nice route, 2 questions, were can i get this route, and 2 how do you make the train cars sway back and forth on the tracks

Perfect With Southern Pacific Halloween Scheme On The Abandoned Railroad

A ghost train, that doesn't disturb the vegetation...I like the idea...

I thought when was last time we saw a Black Widow former SP with all her lights? That flickering on the numberboard hmmmm??? Curious that the loco has no railroad inscription.... only former Southern Pacific faded lettering. What, 2 cameras? One on the shade side then flopping over to sunny side. Then from the door forward, but but ALLAS! (and only then I realized) it's 3D animation!!!!! Holy smoke (sorry CA, OR & WA you're going thru nichtmare with all those fires [trully REGRET it]) Great 3D video!! Saludos = cheers

Nicely done!!

How do you make these vids???? They’re so realistic!!!!!

I'm amazed at the graphics on this video, I was kind of wondering if it would derail being on such bad track. Lol.

Utterly, utterly haunting.

Yooooo a emd sd7 2:31 epic and there’s a Emd sd7 and some gp locomotives and a sd40 locomotive

First my compliments on the route. I'm thinking that you're using either using TANE or TRAINZ 2012. If I'm wrong please let let me know. Building the CSX Florence Division from Florence SC to Jacksonville Florida (yes I know it will also cover the Jacksonville Division) I know exactly how long it takes. Your video is very impressive.

Man was that exciting! Just imagine a fake train going by. Wow!

Well wasn't what I expected. That train was rockin' n rollin' if I saw that in real life I would not be any where near it.

Ghostly and eerie, Pink Floyd's, "Welcome To The Machine"!

GUSTAVTIME your start up sounds like DHK Studios

Took me awhile to realise that this and Abandoned RR 3 is all fake computerised imagery. Amazing!

Very cool, nice job!

fantastic work :)

Very cool!!

The rust and paint patch details are incredible compared to the last version of MSTS I saw which was about 10 years ago lol. Did you create the line and scenery or is this a route that came with it?

Wow! A SP train on an abandoned track! Like...OMG!

Amazing graphics. I didn't realize it wasn't real until the shots inside the cabin of the locomotive.

That was great.

as soon as i saw the train I knew it was not real but i enjoyed the craft it took to make it!

wow that SP geep needs paint bad , thats one crooked abandone set of rails .

perfection !

I wanna know how you get the tracks and the rusty locomotives that you use in your videos

This is awesome. Where can I get it?!

Add this route to workshop please! And list all depebdencies needed. seems that route is awesome for testing locos.

Surely you could afford to do a little maintenance on your railroad, my friend! 😉😉😉🤣🤣🤣

Here I thought it was going to be something interesting

Fairly realistic. Cool.

your vids r AWSOME!!!!!!☺

To be honest, it had me fooled in the beginning although the flickering headlights were a head scratcher. But in the cab, how about the throttle moving itself and also when the cars were passing on the crossing, I noticed that the air brake hoses weren't hooked up. I only saw a disconnected hose on one car and none on the others. Good simulation, but needs work.

How did you make your railworks look like that dude. I need all those links.

environment shading is good

I can't stand most computer effects CGI in movies and what it has done to sci-fi movies..yukkk.......... .but this is amazing and the detail is awesome.................... and I LOVE that spooky looking old high hood Diesel locomotive.....really well done.must have taken a long time....love abandoned railroads........many where I live .............sad so many have the tracks removed now................I spent hours using satellite map to see where the old rail lines went....so interesting....

Very nice. Still need air hoses on the couplers. I sent you the link.

Suspect this is not an operating railway, but is closed. Power unit looks in a state that is used just for "recovery" work, and the dilapidated rolling stock is being recovered from a closed line.

I have that game it is so so so so so much fun!!!!

loved the animation!
