The Norfolk & Western Railway Operations Group is a semi-realistic railroad operations community focused on organized movement, clear communication, and purposeful train handling. Our sessions emphasize real crew roles — dispatcher, yardmaster, conductor, and engineer — with no AI usage.

Every train has a job. Every move is coordinated.

We’re looking for members who:

Enjoy team-based operations
Are interested in dispatching, yard work, or road service
Appreciate structure, professionalism, and level-headed communication**
Are reliable, patient, and open to learning

Experience is not required. Whether you’re familiar with railroad operations or just getting started, training and guidance are provided.

If you’re tired of unstructured sessions and want a coordinated, realistic operating environment** where roles matter and crews work together, you’ll fit in here.

Select mods are in use on this save
Regularly scheduled operations sessions - Sessions are generally two times a week. Lasting anywhere between three to six hours.

FUSE IS OUT ON NEXUS THE SUN SHINES DOWN ON US (besides that) anyways I'm excited to see what fuse can do for my save on railroader

I see a few pieces of advice but I dont see anything in the contracts and nothing is happening with the cars. Everything just seems idle. It said passenger services weren't profitable but am I supposed to start there?

Hey guys, im looking to see if there are any good logging car mods out there. I am wanting to carry more then 3 logs on one car.

Is there any way to change measurement units to metric system? Settings or mods?
I really don't understand how many feet are there or how heavy is a lobster.

Hey Railroaders!

I've been doing some searching to try to find an answer but no luck yet.

Does anyone happen to have a fix for a tender remaining behind after a locomotive has been scrapped with the Scrappalachia mod?

I vaguely recall reading about it being an issue with molded locos but I can't seem to find the post anymore.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Edit:

SOLVED! Uninstalled he C&O T1 mod. Tender is gone. Reinstall with no issue. Mod must not be compatible with the Scrappalachia mod. Thanks for the help everyone.

So I've got about 20hrs played and I haven't even unlocked my first piece of track yet! I've bought just one train and a few more wagons. It takes me like an hour or more just to do one day even on my tiny track between Whittier and Ela.

I love Steam trains, so watching them is fun, but I can't help but feel like I'd burn out from moving all the wagons on a full line. How long does that even take??

Munth Railroad is looking for new operators! We have the entire map unlocked and 24 steam locomotives. We are working on getting CTC in the near future. We run our railroad semi-realistically, like Southern did back in the day.

We have operating sessions every Saturday, 1:00 to 5:00 PM EST.

MRR only requires you to have a microphone and some way to hear others talking. We can teach you everything else.

Hey all, im looking to start making mods for railroader. I know with the new update, things are bound to change. Im mostly interested in rollingstock, and diesel locomotives. Are there any good guides or tutorials? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello Railroader! After the release of my latest short-film, A FIRE WITHIN, I have begun the production process for the next installments and currently, I am in need of help. There has been a LOT of additions to the modding community and so much of that has been helpful with getting custom assets, props, scenes and more. However, for the sake of the story, I require certain indoor scenes. After searching Nexus, I have come to the realization that the number of buildings with flushed out interiors are very little or non-existent.

For the sake of the film, I am in need of a bar-scene, and a house. I have been opened to the ASLW DMU mod, which has a cafe-car and editable menu, as well as other passenger car collections that have a kitchen and dining car. Those help with the bar scene or creating the illusion of one, however, I am need of a building that conveys a house. I do not know of any mod to fill this gap and wanted to reach out and ask for help.

To add, I know the station at Ela or Wilmot can be entered, as well as certain industries found on Nexus. I already used this in the series and to avoid repeat scenes, I am asking for other suggestions.

Is there anything to answer this problem? If not, what about using rolling stock to create the illusion of one?

Any insight, discussion, or feedback would be greatly appreciated! 🚂
