The 80s and 90s videos look like they came off professional/broadcast video tapes like Betacam or similar. Video from that era can actually look good, just most of it on YouTube is captured from shitty VHS tapes with shitty Aliexpress tier hardware.

Issue is though, anyone who was capable of producing such good quality masters at the time were indeed professionals, because the price and quality gap between professional and amateur equipment was so great. The rights for their good stuff now belongs to some railway magazine or the legal remains of some long bankrupt mail order video store.

What they upload now is essentially freebies from their refuse pile. This also explains the all too common haphazard digitalization jobs done on footage that, done with care, could still beat any amateour recording from the eral.

There are pictures of this and many other odd-yins in the thread above.

There was a post on reddit and Facebook last week about this locomotive in India that was like a steam outline electric loco and now I can't find.the post.

The closest I can find on Wikipedia's list is the WCP-1. The IRFCA list did not yield a more steamer-looking match.

Russians spamming CP with random links to presumably more CP.

Post approval is preferable to what we used to have and registration.

>>5934
rude of you to mention CP and not do the get

Honestly, I don't normally do anything. People, mostly homeless, sleep on the metro all the time and nobody bothers anyone.

She’s not even sleeping though

Checked again today, still nothing. Whatever, I'll just post from tor.

I think I know the issue.
Are you using gmail?
They now completely reject e-mail from domains that do not have at least an SPF record.

oh wait...
(although the gmail thing still is true)

I do whatever I want

How old is too old?

>>5845
The only person I've ever seen hire out as a conductor and was unable do the job(with age being a huge factor) was a 55 year old gentleman. He had the awareness to see the job wasn't for him and resigned.

That being said, I had a stint in the track department and this wiry, 60+ year old, preacher with some health problems, could out spike me despite being less than half his age.

I'd just say that if you're in your 50s you might really struggle with railroading, but it's not necessarily a show stopper.

>It's also not really a dream job.

For the most probably not, but I've always dreamed on working in a small shortline company and haven't been disabused from dreaming about it by actually doing exactly what I dream about.

Have you ever used an SD-38? They are so odd to me. Every one I've seen has also had its dynamics removed.

>>5906
Can't say I have. DGNO seems to really like the SD40s for six axle power. We have six of them set up in three sets of paired units on our big turn jobs. Might be getting more this next year if corporate loves us enough.

>>5909
SD-38s are practically identical to SD-40s except they have the same engine as GP-38s. They are only *rated* at 2,000 HP. They are just sort of weird. They load up like SD-40s also.

I've only ever seen them as EJE engines.

Turkey Istanbul bostancı station right?

No >:(
