BNSF 4723 was the engine that Microsoft chose for the cover of the MS Train Sim package, as well as for the Marias Pass route. The prototype engine has a couple of "Microsoft Train Simulator" labels in front of the numbers on the side of the nose. Microsoft's Train Sim page about 4723.

Well, I didn't see it in person. I went to Eola, but that was a few hours before 4723 came through.

Your right FThunder11. It is just a couple of patches on the cab. I would much rather see the SD70MAC experiemental or SD60M expeiremental.

I lucked up and caught this unit on the point of an NS roadrailer a couple of weeks ago. Had this not been the Train Sim unit, the camera would've never come out of the bag.

Just wondering, do you know the route of Triple Crown on the Piedmont Division. Does it go toward Chattanooga, TN or Greenville, S.C. to get to and from Atlanta?
