Those Shoreliners should really get a MAJOR modern refurbishment when those SC42-DMs enter service with Metro-North
If the SC42-DMs start entering Metro-North Service, I really do also hope the Shoreliners get an overhaul and refurbishment with a more modern and refurbished interior with power outlets, PTC and new automated digital destination boards and announcements.

Could you attach a slug unit to a mainline freight train?
Like, could a train attach a slug unit on a class one railroad and run a trip at speed to help prevent wheel slip with such long trains? From my basic understanding they just redistribute power from the main locomotive to extra traction motors for more even power distribution.

Another heavy mixed freight train with a Caterpillar front end loader frame, M.O.W equipment machinery, hi-top hoppers and international intermodal containers
Apparently, this monster Norfolk Southern V18 train was fresh out of the Port of Norfolk pulling a little bit of everything they could load onto it.

My favorite type of trains are heavy mixed freight trains loaded with a little bit of everything, such as this one.
This is Norfolk Southern 36T (a shortline that used to run between nothern Pennsylvania and New York state) loaded with everything from M.O.W equipment, steel pipes, brand new automobiles, general freight, and international intermodal containers.

Why are the UIC brakes so squeaky?
Just did two trips on Trenitalia Intercity. Very cool loco hauled push pull consists which are getting more and more rare in the age of EMUs. But damn the brakes are squeaky… like deafening loud squeaky… is it a common problem with shoe brakes or is there something else to it?

Train Simulator Classic route idea: Denver, CO. to Cheyenne, WY.
I'm going to be real, the only reason I want this route is so I can recreate the Cheyenne frontier days train. If this route already exists, then I would like to know about it, and have a link to it. Thanks again!

How exactly did railroads order their rolling stock?
Like how did they send in their orders? How did the builders recieve said orders? How did they pay for them? Etc. Etc. Stuff like that?
This has been a question that's been living rent-free in my head so now I'm evicting it
