-MyMessage for doing a lot.


Central Railroad of New Jersey's (CNJ) "Blue Comet" first rolled into service on Feb. 21, 1929. This train provided first class treatment at average cost, and exceeding 100mph if needed. The train consist had a few accidents, including a roof fire in a dining car. Another, more serious wreck, occured on August 19, 1939. Nature's luck wasn't on the crew's side, and 13 1/2 inches of rain fell. Taking safety first, the consist decreased the average speed of 70mph to 40. However, at milepost 86 (~mile from Chatsworth Station), it hit a terrible washout. The locomotive, tender, and 5 cars derailed, with minor damage. Only one person died, because a stove fell on a chef in the dining car.

Known issues:
-May not be roadworthy, I haven't been able to test because #iOS_peasant
-No interior
-Definitely not mobile friendly
-Actual locomotive is a 4-6-2 G3. Not a 2-8-4...

Controls:
1 activates light
Roll steers
VTOL moves blower/firebox in loco cab

Enjoy!

    @CSXFan1105 I was never able to test the train out, because when I made it, all I had was an iPad.

    I got it to load without crashing!
    Well, it just exploded and maybe crashed into the ground and sent the cockpit careening at around 550 mph, mind you, but this thing is really cool!
