CPRR1: A Modern Private Luxury Railroad Car and Locomotive project page

Summary:

The growing cost of automotive and airplane travel has recently made railroads a more attractive transportation option. In the golden age of railroading, wealthy captains of industry often had their own private train cars that would be hitched to passenger trains and used to carry them from city to city. Most modern railroads retain the provisions to carry private cars at costs of mere cents per mile, making the private railcar a cost-effective, comfortable, and scenic alternative to most other transport methods. CPRR1 combines a powerful, state-of-the-art diesel propulsion system with opulent quarters and amenities for an extended stay by one to three people as well as a train crew of one or two.
