I have gotten a new DEM that goes from MP 104(Kalama, WA) to MP 45(Tenino, WA) on the BNSF Seattle Sub. Instead of going from MP 104 to MP 86 it now goes from MP 104 to around MP 45. Here are some shots from the new route.

Screenshot #2: Here is a shot of the MP 85 crossovers.

Evening all! Ever since I got the new DEM, I had to start 100% over. So far I have tracks laid from MP 104 to MP 76. One of the spots that I had to redo is Longview Jct. This time around it is 100% realistic according to maps Here are some shots of Longview Jct.

I can tell you how to swap another less obtrusive Hog Texture color tile, and rename it, and get rid of that blinding Aqua color.
