Western Railroad Discussion > BNSF symbol help needed for a different reason

Some of you on this board may have heard of the anciant Microsoft train simulator. Well, after being out 12 years, it's still going strong for many! The reason I ask for BNSF smybol help is that I like to recreat actual trains for simulations rather than just name them intermodal trains. I keep logs written down of ALL info you guys supply on here.

What I'm needing are symbols for trains that carry both domestic and international containers. Also trains that have domestic containers plus autoracks. I saw one interesting train (on Youtube) that had about 10 reefer boxes on the head end with pigs trailing....NO symbol given of coarse. ANY further help you folks could supply would be of great thanks!

Prob. same train I just asked about...ZSTOCHI-6...SHM

It was released in May of 2001, almost 17 years ago now and very out of date. Still pissed that MS killed the follow up game that was very near completion and would have solved a lot of issues with the first game.

There are a few more modern Rail Simulator games since MSTS, none without their own issues.
