Transat Express - Post apocalyptic scene
Backstory:
'In 1992 a nuclear war has devastated most of the planet, the remaining high-tech colonies are bound together by a high speed train system, which is the only safe way to travel through the irradiated wasteland.'
A post apocalyptic scene I created a while back in Unreal Engine 4. I used some asset packs for the environment, but I made the high speed train set myself.
The yellow car wreck appearing in the scene is from one of my favorite vehicle artists on Sketchfab: Renafox. Check out his profile!

Sign warning trespassers of deadly radiation levels. Beyond this point only special equipment or the ones travelling on the TRANSAT Express can survive
Abandoned garage - Entrance
Abandoned locomotive - On the other side of the train tracks the remains of the old world's railroad is visible
No train has ran on this line for many decades
On the contrary the TRANSAT Express railroad was built about 25 years ago to ensure safe travel between the surviving colonies
The train crosses vast distances travelling at an excessive 450 KM/h
The source of its power: a small nuclear reactor in the main engine car

The trainset was modeled in 3DSMax, using a German ICE and British Eurostar train units as reference. It is a very robust several decade old machine. It is powered by a small nuclear reactor in the engine unit, and has heavy lead coating against radiation
