2024 Simutrans Screenshot Contest

[Roboron]

Welcome, everyone! This year 2024 is about to end, and what would be better than end it with our traditional Simutrans Screenshot Contest? Nothing! So prepare to compete and win the best prize of all: the winner of this year will become the new banner image for simutrans.com, which has remained unchanged for years.

Participation
1 - You can participate with any pakset and any Simutrans version.
2 - You can submit as many screenshots as you want.
3 - You need to include title for every screenshot. Screenshots without title will not be eligible!
4 - You have until January 24st (inclusive) to submit your screenshots!

Theme and guidelines
1 - The theme this year is... Stations! Enough of showing the countryside, show us your bigger stations! Or perhaps that little, calm station in the countryside. Whatever you want, if it contains at least one station.
2 - To keep screenshots clean, try to disable city/station names and avoid showing title bars, overcrowded menus, etc.
3 - The winner screenshot will be cropped or resized to fit our header (1000x500 pixels), so this is the minimum size required.

You can submit screenshots that do not fit the theme or guidelines just for the sake of showing others your work. But theme and guidelines will be used to select the winners!

Prizes
The winner image will become the new banner image for simutrans.com.

Voting
Voting will be done on a wiki survey (I will post a new announcement when the time comes). Everyone (participants and non-participants) can vote, but you can only vote one time.
If two or more screenshots have the same votes, our benevolent dictator will benevolently select a winner, taking into account theme and guidelines.

Submission
You can submit your screenshot through the following platforms (don't forget to include title):

• The International Simutrans Forum: Posting your screenshots to this very same thread.
• Steam: submitting your screenshots to the "Screenshots" section of the community Hub
• Mastodon/Misskey/Fediverse: Post your screenshot and mention @simutrans@fosstodon.org with the hashtag #SimutransScreenshotContest
  
• Reddit: Submitting your screenshots to /r/simutrans/
  
• X.com: Post your screenshot and mention @SimutransTeam with the hashtag #SimutransScreenshotContest

If those work for you, it means you're logged in. They're not appearing, alas.

Cool DThunder! You did some cargo stations as well!

That's a lot of entries :O
Let's give pak128.Britain some love, shall we?


Silverwell is not a very big city, but rather a suburb. Since the main station of the big city nearby is surrounded by all sides, the trains terminating continue to Silverwell where there is more space to turn around and wait for the scheduled departure time.


Dublin Central with ferry connections and long distance express trains.


Rochester is a railway hub north of London where several lines meet and diverge. Trains bypassing London leave the mainline here and follow the outer circle line (which crosses on a bridge). Only named expresses take the shortcut, charging a premium for the shorter travel times.
