“The train has an awesome color scheme going on and futuristic tone. It just looks so good going fast on long straight track. I like that the locomotive at least resembles a train compared to Railway Express 4561 which follows the basic layout of this train. It’s got a... More classic style to it.”

While the Metroliner was strictly a passenger train, Cargo Railway is a unique integration of a passenger train [and] a cargo train. It features two cars that ride on the... More same stretched flatbed platform that of 4547 Railroad Club Car.”
