Re: Railworks 3: Train Simulator 2012 sale

I've only done the tutorial, and I'm already hooked! Going out to do some free roaming on the Northeast Corridor and experiment a little more now :D

Re: Railworks 3: Train Simulator 2012 sale

Got the Haulin' USA pack downloading. Bought that and the P42 add on for a measly $17.98.... When normally I'd be paying over $80. Now I just hope my computer is good enough to run this... :lol: Should be fine though, as it runs the FSX demo flawlessly at the highest graphics settings possible :D

Re: Railworks 3: Train Simulator 2012 sale

I'll certainly be buying the Haulin' USA pack. Normally $58, it includes the Donner Pass expansion, Horseshoe Curve expansion, Northeast Corridor expansion and Railworks 3, all for $7 :)

Re: Dept. Homeland Security Heads UP.

The DHS activity should go up even more now that another bomb threat has been made on the Ambassador Bridge. I think the threat on the tunnel made helped DHS activity to go up.

Re: Video: Train Nearly Hits Car

Very close call indeed... Along with the conductor cussing out the driver, I also found it funny that the driver put his hand out the window as if it he were telling the train to stop. :lol:
