Well, that was one hell of a ride! Now prepare for one hell of a disappointment when you find out you didn't win anything :( :D

Congratulations to everyone who has taken part in this! It has been a truly wild and wonderful ride! A
to ALL the contributors and to Fiddler for making and running it, and to Fiddler, Canis, and icaio for organizing it!
No matter how many or how few games you contributed--they are all very much appreciated!
(And if I've left anyone out, it was an oversight and THANK YOU as well!)
I never dreamed that we would make it to 4,500 cars, but we did, and had bonus cars scattered here and there as well! It is truly mind-boggling and wonderful!

Time to say goodbye though..

This has been the most epic thing on this site since I registered here 3 and a half years ago. A big thanks to everyone!

I was looking closely to see 4000, 4444, and 4500 happen. At first, nobody thought we'd hit 1k. When we hit 3k, nobody thought we'd hit 4k. When we hit 4k, making it to 4444 in a few hours became a last extended goal. And we didn't stop. Fiddler had to ask us to stop at 4500. And we hit 4500 with some time to spare. At some point, the train had so much momentum that it seemed like it would break all physical limits and accelerate until we hit some singularity. Which, in certain ways, we sort of did... :)
I gave away a few games (one sent, the rest of the GAs still running), won another few games, might maybe win a few more before it's all over, but that's not what matters the most. This whole event gives us a strange sort of fulfillment, a feeling of belonging to a community that's hard to explain. People said SG was dead. As the last GA so smartly implies, we're still not dead. This has been a most memorable event that will be talked about years from now. We'll mention "that crazy train with 4500 GAs", and those of us who were here will remember it. And that's damn cool. We have seen SG history in the making and we have been a part of it. Our names are now in the epic of the Great SG Community Trainโข. Congrats to us all.
Everyone seems to have snatched some milestone or another in this event and I haven't yet, so kindly allow me to be the guy snatching post #1337. GET! :D

Genuinely Hope Everyone got something at the end of the event. Whether you won a game, made a new friend, or found out about games you had never encounter before. For me, this is like a treasure chest, not only can I go through a list of games I have or not on this train. It also showed me the generosity of the community. The coming together of participants and gifters. :D
Edit: Still looking for that elusive 1 Blacklist I have. Hmm~
May Everyone have a great weekend ahead, Best Wishes, Cruse~

I am surprised, only 8%? I expected more but that is great on a bigger scale :D
I am still coughing points, as I am late to the train, did not expect it to explode suddenly. There are still a few games I am interested in that still has time on it. Probably will not win anything but a great experience nonetheless.
How is the support experience so far? Any rerolls, problems or other interesting stats/rumours/ gossip? ;)
Cheerio, Cruse~

IMPORTANT EDIT!
I would like to give a special thanks to both Canis and icaio for not only their HUGE contribution , but for also pretty much helping me organize this event. this train would be no where near where it is right now if not for both of them. we are now THE LONGEST TRAIN ON THIS SITE! and i couldn't ... we couldn't have done this without them. so , form the bottom of my heart. thank you. i never thought we would end up here , but here we are. I am honestly overwhelmed by how big this has gotten. when i first made this event , i never thought we would break the 400 mark. but many contributions later we are almost at 1300. AND WE STILL HAVE 11 DAYS LEFT!
i will make a complete list of people that have contributed in the train later on with links to their profile by the time we are done with a special thanks. there are way too many to list now.
so i just noticed that not only have we had a lack of events going on in the forum , but that this month had the worst number of GAs made since April 2015.
so instead of bitching about how dead this site is like a number of people do , i decided to actually try to help fix it (Crazy right? actually doing something instead of complaining?) so here is a community Train
RULES ARE RULES! : EDITED ONE MORE RULE IN ABOUT 0P GAMES
Must end September 28
No region restrictions
Set to "Invite Only"
Game value 5P or more
No DLCs
Set Contributor Level no higher than 3
Post URL in the comments of the last cart in the train.
If there is already a link for another cart in the comments of the last cart, wait until a new cart is added.
Number your cart in the description.
In case of games that haven't been released yet and games that were just added to the SteamGifts database. they will have a 0P cost until release or the Database catches up. so the rule for those is that as long as their cost wont be 5P once that happens , then the game is good. it is easy to figure out what the price range is going to be by simply look at the store page. had to add this rule mid event cause there was nothing about stuff like this and i honestly didn't think about it.
Check your GA comments regularly until you get a link for the next cart. You are responsible for adding the NEXT link in your GA description to keep the train
growing.
Punch your tickets HERE
Will add more stations as we get further in.
WE JUST BEAT COMMUNITY TRAIN 2.0 IN THE NUMBER OF CARTS!
578 CARTS REACHED , WE ARE OFFICIALLY THE LONGEST COMMUNITY TRAIN YET!
Sorry it took so long to add this in , but i actually forgot to do this even though i should have.
while i did say this was the 3.0 event , i forgot to explain or even mention the origin and the real person behind this idea.
The OG behind this event is Xarlor who came up with the first community train about 10 months ago.
it was done again by UserCar007 about 8 months ago with some changes that i have decided to keep. which were disallowing DLCs and adding a game value requirement .
I am simply adding into this event by restarting it for the third time , and i should have done this sooner but i really would like to thank both of Xarlor and UserCar007.
EDIT 2:
So someone asked what songs are in the poll.
so i decided to share them with you all. they are all from my favorite Broadway Musical / movie. Fiddler On The Roof. its kind of weird to be honest. being a Middle Eastern Ex-Muslim whose favorite movie is Fiddler on The Roof. anyway . here are the songs.
If i Were A Rich Man
Far From The Home I Love
L'chaim (To Life)
MatchMaker
SunRise , SunSet
its kind of hard to get a good and clean version of L'chaim since its set in a Bar where they are all partying and having a good time. so that one will do.
EDIT 3:
Thank you EmotionEngine for making a spread sheet with EXTREMELY detailed information about the train. i was struggeling with merely writing names down. i honestly cant imagine going through the train and writing down all the data and information you have noted in this thing.
THE AWESOME SPREADSHEET
