Train Tracks spotted

I just found this but I'm not sure if it's new

Re: Train Tracks spotted

Looks like a mining complex, of sort. Does that still count as "train track"? Heck if I know, but I doubt they'd run anything but mining carts on that...
 
Re: Train Tracks spotted

OK, that's the sword, I thought was a fishing rod. It's very thin. The weapons look a lot different. There are train tracks. I wonder if we can jump off of the tracks into water.
 
Re: Train Tracks spotted

If by "sleeping" you mean "beaten to death by the guy waving a sword about", then yes.
 
Re: Train Tracks spotted

No, farther off in the distance there is a round bump in the tracks that resembles a man on his back.

In the imortal words of sarge from red v.s blue "your making that up"
 
Re: Train Tracks spotted

It's probably just a body the hero left behind.;)

I thought that too but if you look at the height of the cylo it's a bit too far up for a mining cart.
 
Re: Train Tracks spotted

Well this changes everything.

First, I would like to obnoxiously brag that way back when someone made a thread about transport called something along the lines of "Trains, Planes, and Automobiles." I said. Trains? Hell yes! I don't see why not. YAY me! [continues boasting]

Weeeel. Here's the thing. It definitely looks like a very narrow gauge track. But trains have run on narrow gauges, even very narrow gauges-- mostly in mountainous and inaccessible regions where it was easier to fit narrow tracks or quicker to build or something.

Sure, those could be tracks for simple, cheap, ass-drawn mining carts. It could also be a steam railway, a horse-drawn railway, or even a gravity railway*.

Personally, I think any of those would be cool. And it doesn't look like horse-drawn to me, because I would think that if it were there would be railings or something on the roadbed the tracks are on.

And to me, at least, the building with the raised platform looks more like a small passenger train station than anything else.

*Not really a railway. Originally used to move around mining carts cheaply and easily (just let them roll downhill and then use that momentum to go up) they later ended up manifesting as a forerunner of today's roller coasters.
 
Re: Train Tracks spotted

i want to hijack the train. then steal whatever is on it and crash it into the mountain

Dang... :O Someone did their homework on this, didn't they?!

Thanks for the starters guide to trains, tracks and other railway interests.
For more on the subject of tracks and there sizes I would recommend reading about Isambard Kingdom Brunell,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isambard_Kingdom_Brunel
As the father of modern steam and railways he would have been able to help us out with this track!;):rolleyes:
 
Re: Train Tracks spotted

the sword he's got looks like the same old scimitar to me. :lol: Oooh I like trains. Maybe there's train Hobos! :D
 
Re: Train Tracks spotted

Better yet, what if there are TRAINED HOBOS! lol.
 
Re: Train Tracks spotted

This is awesome! I mean, what else could they possibly have for us?
I know one thing. Even though pirates were cut from the game... I've seen a few pirates in images...

Coincidence?

Probably. But I can dream, anyway.
