As we all know, some people still try to keep alive the steam era. Below a shot what is trying to represent that...

And on a similar theme, here's my entry:
It is the late 1960s. The Glyn Island Railway desperately clings to steam power, using whatever equipment is still available to work the freight harbour. They even went so far as to build diesel-shaped steamers for the appearance of modernity on their heavy freight runs. Meanwhile on the mainline, a shiny diesel pulls into the station with the express.
As for the voting, I think we have enough entries and we've waited long enough. I'll put up the votes in a few hours, tomorrow at the latest.

Union Pacific's special moving the Big Boy from southern California to Wyoming nears the end of its first day. Hundreds of railfans and additional hundreds of curious non-fans witnessed this unusual move between West Colton Yard and Yermo, the first leg of eight days of slow and steady rolling eastward.

From my spacious archive I dug up this, the Sørheim Steel work anno 1901. Plenty of steam here, thanks to Andy's gorgeous creations.
Mr Bruco
Rutbridge Works decided to build a new railway line near the new car plant, given the growing interest in diesels.
n8king
Just steam.
oberhümer
Poland, the 1950s: Except for local freight duties, steam is still king. An express leaves Warsaw for Łódz, while a local to Lublin and a mixed to Brest prepare for departure.

Haven't been playing lately but might as well post something from an old save.

A steamy day at the seaside town of Kellogg. Regular passenger services run to and from the train station, hauled by powerful 4-6-4 Hudson locomotives -- one of the newer, streamlined models is just pulling in.
A paddle steamer approaches the docks from a distance as fishing ships pull up alongside a freighter nearer the harbor. A mighty Short Empire seaplane has just landed, and its passengers will soon alight on the pier amidst the cries of circling seagulls.
To cap it all off, a majestic Hindenburg-class airship dominates the skies over the sea. Truly, there is no more glorious craft in all the earth, and its majesty may very well never be surpassed.
An earlier model of airship also flies over the town -- unable to compete with the Hindenburg-class at passenger duties, it has been converted for ferrying supplies to far-flung industries. Farmers and miners across the nation are treated to regular shipments of needed goods via airship.
One might theorize that surely this scene represents the pinnacle of technology, but the winds of change are yet blowing. The Electro-Motive Division has begun shipments of its E-unit locomotives for express passenger duties; dual pairs of these locomotives are already in express passenger service and might one day pass through Kellogg station...

I am also very pleased to see that it's possible to win this competition without showing off massive and complex train stations
If I may suggest a theme for the next round, I'd like to go for Shipping.

I am also glad for the quick choice of theme. I hope that this time will be at least 4-5 screenshots. The theme is a general and extensive. Good choice, leifbk .

Just to confirm, the theme this month isn't solely restricted to ships, but also the shipping of goods, cargoes, etc?leifbk wrote:I'd like to go for Shipping.

I was primarily thinking of shipping as "transport on water", but then, I don't make the rules around herePilot wrote:Just to confirm, the theme this month isn't solely restricted to ships, but also the shipping of goods, cargoes, etc?
I realise that "shipping" in a broader meaning may cover any kind of transport, but then the theme becomes so diluted that it won't make much sense at all IMO.
