Rolling Line Ep. 64 - Metra 'Lightning Bolt' - EMD F7 livery
This is the debut appearance of my new livery. This one is based on the new livery adopted by Metra, the so-called 'Lightning Bolt' livery. The first locomotive to carry this livery - in real life - was F40PHM-2 No. 194, which has now been rebuilt as an F40PHM-3. All other F40PHM-2's are set to follow suit. This livery is now available on Steam Workshop (it wasn't when I first uploaded this video):

The layout featured in this video is 'Tiny Chicago', which is anything but tiny and was made by . I decided to do what I always do - show off the engine by driving her around the layout. As we go along, we see three trains heading the other way (Union Pacific Berkshire, Music City Star, and a steam-hauled Union Pacific passenger train). Before we arrive back at the big station, we have to stop at a crossover to let two of the three trains pass, as we needed to access their line in order to get to the platforms themselves. This involves stopping the Big Boy's train, because there wasn't enough space between itself and the Music City Star for our Metra train to get through without crashing.
